Everglades restoration received $96 million of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.[187] As a result of the stimulus package, a mile-long (1.6 km) bridge to replace the Tamiami Trail, a road that borders Everglades National Park to the north and has blocked water from reaching the southern Everglades, was begun by the Army Corps of Engineers in December 2009. The next month work began to reconstruct the C-111 canal, east of the park that historically diverted water into Florida Bay.[188][189] Governor Charlie Crist announced the same month that $50 million of state funds would be earmarked for Everglades restoration.[190] In May 2010, 5.5 miles (8.9 km) of bridges were proposed to be added to the Tamiami Trail.[191]
