The grants will support the development of 28 future bridge projects in 18 states.
The Department of Transportation made $26.5 million in planning grants available for 28 future bridge construction projects. The planning phase for public bridges includes predicting conceptual effectiveness, construction length, supply needs, and revenue forecasting for future maintenance. Many of the projects selected for this funding will make essential repairs to existing bridges along state and Interstate highways, addressing deterioration and adding new features like truck parking and weather-resistant elements.
“Using funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Biden-Harris Administration continues to actively address the backlog of bridges needing repairs, making our roads and highways safer and our supply chains stronger,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “The Bridge Investment Program Planning grants we’re announcing today will provide much-needed resources to communities nationwide so they can complete the plans and studies required to move forward with important bridge projects.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Buttigieg and Transportation Department officials as they assess the infrastructure building and repair plan projects.
- For U.S. transportation advisors and personnel as they provide programs to improve roads, highways, and bridges.
