PROJECT NUMBER: ND OMAD 2024(1)
PROJECT NAME: Minuteman Missile Access Roads
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
ND OMAD 2024(1) - The Office of Missile Air Defense Program (OMAD) is a Defense Access Road (DAR) program used by the Department of Defense (DoD) to fund the annual maintenance and improvements on certified gravel roads. FHWA works with the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) to support the Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Program (Minuteman).
