This award supports critical bridge infrastructure preservation activities, which represent a core eligible activity under the Highway Planning and Construction program authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

Bridge rehabilitation projects of this nature are fundamental components of the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides states with annual formula-based allocations to support highway and bridge preservation efforts on public roadways. As a state transportation department, Caltrans administers these federal funds in accordance with established stewardship and oversight agreements with the FHWA, ensuring compliance with environmental review requirements, design specifications, and federal procurement standards throughout the rehabilitation project execution.
