Biden-Harris Administration Announces $26.5 Million in Grants for Bridge Projects
The U.S. Department of Transportation has announced over $26.5 million in planning grants for bridge projects, funded through the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) competitive Bridge Investment Program. This initiative, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to create a pipeline of future bridge construction projects that will enhance safety, support economic competitiveness, and make infrastructure more resilient to climate change.
Key Highlights:
28 Projects in 18 States: The grants will fund planning studies and feasibility analyses for critical bridge projects.
Safety and Economic Competitiveness: These projects will improve the safety and efficiency of transportation networks, benefiting local economies and supply chains.
Climate Resilience: The grants will also address vulnerabilities to climate change, ensuring long-term durability and safety of bridges.
Significant Projects:
Alaska: $1.9 million for planning studies to evaluate four critical bridges along the Dalton Highway and Koyukuk River.
Minnesota: $2.3 million for strategic management plans for seven high-priority bridges across the state's Trunk Highway System.
South Carolina: $1.6 million for a Planning and Environmental Linkages study to evaluate the replacement needs for six rural bridges along the Interstate 85 corridor.
These grants are a crucial step in addressing the nation's infrastructure challenges. By providing planning grants alongside construction grants, the U.S. DOT supports the development stage of projects, ensuring they are ready for future construction funding.
