HONOLULU (AP) _ The state is getting more than (m) million dollars in emergency federal funds to repair roads damaged by 42 straight days of rain in February and March.
Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye said in a news release issued by his Washington office that the money will be used for Kuhio Highway on Kauai and other roads on Oahu.
Inouye says most of the significant repair work to Kuhio Highway has been completed. He says only minor pavement work still needs to be done.
The emergency funds were authorized by the U-S Department of Transportation. They will reimburse the state for expenses related to damage caused by the heavy rainfall and flooding.
