The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $442,677 to the New York State Department of Transportation on May 9, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to replace the deck of the Bloomburg Road bridge crossing Platekill Creek. The project, designated as BIN 3345070 and part of the 2022 BridgeNY initiative, spans multiple municipalities across Orange and Sullivan counties, including the Town of Wallkill, Town of Mamakating, and Village of Bloomingburg in New York. The federal funding represents 95% of the project cost through the utilization of toll credits, with the remaining 25% of project costs covered through other funding sources.

This formula grant supports critical bridge infrastructure preservation activities consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's mandate to assist states in the construction, preservation, and improvement of highway infrastructure. The project deliverable—deck replacement on an existing bridge structure—falls within eligible activities under the federal-aid highway program and addresses infrastructure maintenance priorities established by New York State in cooperation with local officials. As a formula grant distributed through statutory mechanisms, the award reflects the state's ongoing responsibility to manage and execute transportation infrastructure projects within its jurisdiction.
