The Federal Highway Administration awarded California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) $351,000 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 30, 2025. This Formula Grant funds seismic retrofit construction work on a bridge located over railroad tracks on Victoria Avenue in California, situated between Valentine Road and Olivas Park Drive. The project deliverables include the installation of steel column casings at all bridge columns and bent cap bolster retrofit work to enhance the structure's seismic resilience.

As a federally funded transportation infrastructure project administered through the Highway Planning and Construction program, this award supports bridge rehabilitation and safety improvements consistent with the program's statutory mandate to assist states in the construction, preservation, and improvement of highways and related transportation infrastructure. The seismic retrofit work represents a critical safety enhancement for this at-grade railroad crossing and reflects ongoing federal investment in bridge preservation and hazard mitigation through formula-based allocations to state departments of transportation.
