Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,807,038 to the Iowa Department of Transportation on September 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the replacement of a bridge on 65th Avenue over Branch South River in Warren County, Iowa. The project will involve construction of a continuous concrete slab (CCS) bridge to replace the existing structure, with an anticipated completion date of September 30, 2029. As a formula grant administered through Iowa's State DOT, this award represents federal-aid highway funding allocated to support bridge replacement infrastructure on public roads, a core eligible activity under the Highway Planning and Construction program.

The Iowa Department of Transportation, through its Operations and Finance Division, will manage project execution including design, environmental clearance, and construction oversight in compliance with applicable federal and state requirements. This award is consistent with the department's portfolio of large-scale capital infrastructure projects funded through FHWA formula-grant programs, which prioritize highway and bridge preservation across Iowa's 99 counties.
