Tribal transportation bridge award

The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut received a $300,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA Program 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction) on December 1, 2023. This funding will support the Tribal Transportation Bridge Award, which will enable the tribe to conduct bridge replacements and repairs on transportation infrastructure within their tribal lands. As a federally recognized Native American tribe, the Mohegan Tribe utilizes federal grants to enhance transportation services, community development, and economic opportunities for its members. The Highway Planning and Construction program provides funding to state and local governments, as well as tribal entities, for a wide range of transportation projects including highway construction, bridge improvements, and initiatives to increase transportation safety and resilience.
