Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Transportation released $100 million in emergency funds on Saturday for North Carolina to rebuild its roads and bridges damaged by Helene. 'We are providing this initial round of funding so there's no delay getting roads repaired and reopened, and re-establishing critical routes,' said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a statement.
