The Federal Highway Administration is providing $7 million in emergency relief funds to help cover the cost of repairing the Apache Trail and another state highway damaged by flooding last summer.
A long stretch of State Route 88, known as the Apache Trail, northeast of Apache Junction experienced structural erosion following an intense monsoon storm last July. The highway remained open while the Arizona Department of Transportation made emergency repairs, and now much of that stretch is part of a previously planned safety-improvement project.
