Statewide bridge inspection services - on-call bridge inspection of non-NBI (engineer: fura)

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) received a $623,630.04 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration on April 13, 2022 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205).

The grant funds will support RIDOT's Statewide Bridge Inspection Services - On-Call Bridge Inspection of Non-NBI program. Through this program, RIDOT will conduct on-call inspections of bridges throughout Rhode Island that are not part of the National Bridge Inventory in order to assess conditions, identify needs, and ensure the safety and quality of non-NBI bridges across the state. Regular inspections allow RIDOT to effectively plan and prioritize preservation and improvement projects that uphold structural integrity and maximize useful life. The services delivered under this Formula Grant will aid RIDOT's efforts to properly maintain Rhode Island's bridge infrastructure.
