The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe in Montana will receive $30.5 million to fund the first phase of the U.S. 93 roadway improvement project from Dublin Gulch to Gunlock Road, including a new multi-span bridge over Ninepipes Reservoir. The project will provide necessary safety improvements to U.S. 93, which provides critical access to services, recreation and economic opportunities for the Flathead Indian Reservation. The project will also include a separated, shared-use path.

Applications also open for next round of funding to improve access to Federal and Tribal lands.
