The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) a Formula Grant of $3.86 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 18, 2025. The award funds the replacement of the Bollea Road bridge over Bear Creek (Bridge 29C0413) in California. This infrastructure project delivers bridge replacement services designed to improve transportation safety, infrastructure integrity, and highway connectivity in the project area.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to state transportation departments for highway-related improvements, including bridge rehabilitation and replacement activities. As a state-administered program, Caltrans assumes responsibility for project oversight, design, construction management, and compliance with applicable federal and environmental requirements. The Bollea Road bridge replacement represents a typical project category supported under this formula-based funding mechanism, which allocates resources to states on an annual basis to address critical transportation infrastructure needs.
