The U.S. Department of Transportation is sending out reimbursements totaling more than $232 million to more than half the nation for emergency road and bridge repairs they have made after storms or other unusual events going back to 2007.

Drawn from the Federal Highway Administration's emergency relief program, the money is being disbursed to 26 states and Puerto Rico.

Colorado received the most at $55 million – to help pay for its recovery from severe September 2013 mountain flooding that devastated hundreds of roads. Arizona received $36 million for a 2013 slope failure and Ohio $34 million for rock fall damages in 2012.

Arizona also received a $1 million payment for damages from a 2010 winter storm. And Oklahoma was awarded just over $1 million for flooding in May and June 2007, the oldest event reimbursed from this list.
