CR46 bridge rehab over narrows channel

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $27.67 million to the New York State Department of Transportation on September 3, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the CR46 Bridge Rehabilitation project. This congressionally designated spending initiative will fund the replacement of the County Route 46 (William Floyd Parkway) bridge spanning Narrow Bay in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York. The project addresses structural deficiencies in the existing structure while improving roadway alignment, with funding structured at 95% federal contribution (utilizing 15% toll credit) and 5% local match.

In addition to bridge replacement activities, the project incorporates the development of a protected shared-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, enhancing multimodal transportation connectivity in the region. The project is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2035, allowing sufficient time for comprehensive design, engineering, environmental compliance, and construction activities. The deliverables align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's core mission of supporting bridge rehabilitation and replacement projects while advancing pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements across the nation's transportation network.
