Pezzi road over calaveras river (bridge 29C0199) bridge replacement (TC)

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) received a formula grant award of $609,000 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on August 6, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant funds the bridge replacement project for Pezzi Road over Calaveras River (Bridge 29C0199), which involves the design and construction of a new bridge structure to replace the existing infrastructure. This project represents a critical infrastructure preservation activity authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, addressing highway safety and structural integrity in California's transportation network.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance for the construction, preservation, and improvement of highways and related transportation infrastructure, with funding distributed through statutory formula allocations. As a state-administered program, Caltrans coordinates project selection and management through established transportation planning processes, with FHWA division office approval required before work commences. The Pezzi Road bridge replacement project meets program eligibility requirements for bridge rehabilitation and replacement activities, contributing to the broader statewide effort to maintain and upgrade California's extensive highway and bridge infrastructure network.
