The State of Illinois is set to receive almost $5 million to repair roads and bridges in more than 30 counties.
The grant was supplied from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Rock Island, Mercer and Whiteside Counties are a few of the recipients of funding.
Illinois qualified for the Emergency Relief Grant after record-flooding hit the state, including flooding in the Quad Cities.
Dozens of other states will be getting relief dollars as well, as part of an $870 million package.
