On January 14, the Federal Highway Administration launched the Bridge Replacement, Rehabilitation, Preservation, Protection, and Construction Program created in the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The program represents the single largest dedicated bridge investment since construction of the interstate highway system, providing $26.5 billion to states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico over five years. The total amount that will be available to these entities in fiscal year 2022 is $5.3 billion. In conjunction with this announcement, the White House also detailed its progress over the last 60 days on implementing the new law, which may be found here.
