Road damage from WA flooding to cost at least $40M
Last month’s heavy flooding inflicted at least $40 million to $50 million of damage on Washington’s highways, state transportation officials estimated to lawmakers Monday.
The state Department of Transportation has responded to dozens of locations due to flooding, officials told lawmakers. The state has signed 16 contracts for emergency repairs. A few more are still to come.
The cost figures the agency provided are preliminary.
“We’re still compiling costs, so it is a range at this point,” Steve Roark, the agency’s Olympic region administrator, told the House Transportation Committee.
