HOUSE PASSES CONGRESSMAN MOYLAN’S REQUEST FOR $50 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR GUAM’S ROADWAYS
(Washington, D.C.) Congressman Moylan’s $50 million request in Community Project Funding (CPF) for Guam's Defense Access Roads (DAR) was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, marking the largest single CPF allocation for roadways awarded to any member of Congress in H.R. 3944, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2026.
This major investment will directly support the repair and replacement of critical infrastructure along Route 1, better known as Marine Corps Drive- the island’s most heavily traveled roadway. The funding will go toward repaving roads, replacing aging bridges, and undergrounding power lines to improve safety, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure reliable access for both residents and military personnel.
Congressman Moylan emphasized the significance of the funding for Guam: “Earning the largest roadway allocation in Congress this year is a clear reminder that Guam’s voice is being heard in our nation’s capital.It’s a significant step forward for our island and proof that consistent advocacy delivers results.” The targeted improvements will benefit thousands of daily commuters who rely on Marine Corps Drive, while also supporting the safe movement of military vehicles and emergency services between Camp Blaz and Apra Harbor- a route central to Guam’s role in regional security.
The Congressman also credited strong local coordination with the Department of Public Works: “I want to personally thank Director Vince Arriola and the hardworking staff of DPW for bringing this critical funding need to our attention. Ensuring Guam’s safety and longevity starts with strong local leadership, and we’re proud to partner in that mission.
The legislation now heads to the U.S. Senate for further consideration. If passed, it will move to the President’s desk for final signature into law. The Congressman has pledged to work closely with Senate leadership to ensure this critical funding remains in the final bill. Notably, this allocation was not included in the original FY2026 federal budget request, meaning this effort was a direct result of strong congressional advocacy led by Congressman Moylan.
“This is a major investment in Guam’s future. It’s about more than fixing roads. It’s about strengthening the infrastructure that connects our communities, supports our military, and keeps our island moving forward,” concluded Congressman Moylan.
