FFY24-25 bridge scour monitoring & retrofit

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $991,326.02 Formula Grant to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) under the Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program. This two-year project supports scour monitoring and telemetry at select state bridges, as well as scour and erosion vulnerability assessments, the development of risk management tools, and the implementation of countermeasures and plans of action for bridges with identified scour vulnerabilities. The project will also fund ice studies to better understand scour risks at bridges during breakup. This is a cooperative project with the U.S. Geological Survey.
