Md. Gets $6.8M To Fix Roads After Tropical Storm

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- The Maryland State Highway Administration has been awarded more than $6.8 million in federal funds to repair roads and bridges damaged during Tropical Storm Lee last summer.

--$3.1 million to replace the washed-out MD 234 Bridge over Allens Fresh Run in Charles County.

--$1.1 million for pavement and drainage repairs along US 301 near MD 6 in La Plata.

--$1 million to repair the southbound MD 2 ramp to westbound MD 100 in Anne Arundel County.
