The grant funding will support the City of Newport News' project to replace the Denbigh Boulevard bridge over Interstate 64 and a CSX railroad line. The existing four-lane bridge is structurally deficient with a sufficiency rating of 38. The project will construct a new bridge to current geometric and design standards along the existing alignment. The Highway Planning and Construction program aims to assist states in providing construction, preservation, and improvement of highways through the Federal-aid Highway Program.
