Tropical Storm Helene Private Road and Bridge Program

The North Carolina Private Road and Bridge Program (NC-PRB) was established to assist property owners across western North Carolina with damages from Helene. In accordance with The Disaster Recovery Act of 2025 - Part I, NC-PRB will prioritize repairs to private roads or bridges that:

• Are the sole access for emergency services to residential properties occupied by the property owner for over six months of the calendar year.
• Provide access to multiple residential homes, recreation or commercial facilities.
