Bridge preservation SFY 25 (phase 1-4)

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT) received a $2.1 million formula grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective July 11, 2025, with completion targeted for April 30, 2038. This award funds bridge preservation activities across eight counties in the Capital Region of New York—Albany, Essex, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren, and Washington—on various federal-aid eligible state highways. The project comprises multiple phases (Phases 1-4 and 1-6) with exact bridge locations to be determined during preliminary design.

The deliverables under this award consist of bridge preservation and rehabilitation work conducted in accordance with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act framework. NYS DOT, as the state transportation authority, will manage project administration, preliminary engineering, environmental compliance, and construction oversight to maintain and extend the serviceable life of the state's bridge infrastructure. Work will be executed in coordination with established state transportation planning processes and subject to FHWA division office approval and federal stewardship oversight requirements, including environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act.
