The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recently awarded nearly $300 million in Bridge Investment Program grants to nine bridge projects in eight states and the District of Columbia.
“When bridges have to close for repairs, or worse, begin to fail, it can cut off access to an entire community, adding hours to commutes, costing money for local businesses, and delaying first responders from getting to an emergency,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said. “The grant awards we’re announcing today are helping communities of all sizes modernize their bridges so that school buses, delivery trucks, ambulances, and commuters can get where they need to go quickly and safely.”
