Virginia Beach will get $19 million in federal funding to address flooding issues along a road that connects military installations, agricultural lands and wildlife refuges, and Virginia’s Tidewater and Chesapeake region will get $5.4 million to install a weather and traffic monitoring system to help with emergency evacuations.
Further north, Stafford County is set to get $10.2 million in federal funding to raise and realign part of a road where frequent flooding blocks drivers from accessing it.

As of April 2024, there has been $10 billion in Biden’s infrastructure law funding announced in Virginia for 353 projects, with $6.9 billion for transportation improvements and $1.8 billion for high speed internet.
