Along IA 3 in fayette county over little wapsipinicon river, 0.2 MI W of CO RD V68 - bridge replacement -pretensioned prestressed concrete beam bridge

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $2.9 million to the Iowa Department of Transportation on June 10, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to replace a bridge located along Iowa State Route 3 in Fayette County spanning the Little Wapsipinicon River. The project will involve construction of a pretensioned prestressed concrete beam (PPCB) bridge to replace the existing structure, located approximately 0.2 miles west of County Road V68. This formula grant supports critical transportation infrastructure preservation activities authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and reflects the ongoing federal commitment to maintaining and improving highway safety and connectivity across state transportation networks.

The Iowa Department of Transportation, through its Operations and Finance Division, serves as the primary administrator of this highway infrastructure project. The funds obligated under this award represent a direct allocation to support bridge replacement activities that meet federal Highway Planning and Construction program eligibility requirements, which prioritize construction and preservation of highways and bridges on public roads. Project delivery will proceed in accordance with applicable federal environmental review requirements, stewardship and oversight agreements, and design and construction standards established by the FHWA.
