The grants for more than 70 small- and medium-size bridges in 19 states mark the latest infusion from a $1.2 trillion infrastructure law signed by President Joe Biden in 2021. The measure directed $40 billion to bridges over five years, the largest dedicated bridge investment in decades.
Maine will receive the most money from the latest grants — nearly $133 million for a dozen bridges along Interstate 95 and Interstate 395. At least one of the bridges over I-95 is in poor condition, the rest are likely to rapidly deteriorate, and none are able to allow extra-tall vehicles to pass underneath them, the Federal Highway Administration said.
In Alaska, more than $13 million will help replace the Ghiglione Bridge in Denali National Park and Preserve. The existing bridge isn’t built to current earthquake standards, and it’s located not far from where a long-troublesome landslide, worsened by climate change, has forced park officials to restrict public access to the road.
Other grants will fund bridge projects in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas.
