Heavy rains this year have done everything from flood roads to delay progress on one of the area's most anticipated tollway openings, but Houston is receiving relatively little in terms of infrastructure relief.

The Federal Highway Administration last week announced $410 million was headed to states to help repair and recover damaged roads. The money is handed out annually as part of emergency allocations, and covers storms from 2015, as well as cleanup from previous years where claims are still being settled. Money is used primarily to rebuild or repair roads and bridges.

"Emergency relief funding is an integral part of the federal-aid program," said Federal Highway Administrator Gregory Nadeau, in a news release. "Part of our mission is to help states get back on track by restoring broken transportation links when disaster strikes."

About $9.88 million of the money is coming to Texas for state-maintained roads, all related to storms in May that washed out highways and caused days of cleanup work.

Despite water pouring onto Houston-area roads, Texas Department of Transportation officials said Friday that $146,000 in claims were filed in the Houston area, mostly cleanup-related work in central Houston and Waller County. A $44,000 claim was filed for cameras and related traffic management systems damaged during the Memorial Day weekend storms.

Compared to other parts of the state, TxDOT spokeswoman Veronica Beyer said Houston's damages to state roads were minimal.

Nationwide, two areas hardest hit by storms represent more than half the federal emergency spending. Flooding in September 2013 severely damaged roads between Denver and Boulder, Colo., leading to $115.5 million in emergency relief. New York and New Jersey, still rebuilding damaged from Hurricane Sandy, received $92 million in federal aid.

Texas, which got a late fall round of heavy rains, could apply for more relief, if warranted. A round of storms in late October submerged 330 spots on 232 state-maintained roads, according to reports, including a more than 10-mile segment of Interstate 45 between Houston and Dallas.

At the time, analysts predicted those storms could mean hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for state roads. So far, claims have been far below those estimates, which also consider costs that would not be covered by federal aid, such as economic loss from having roads closed.
