Federal Grant Award Summary

The New York State Department of Transportation received a $827,000 formula grant award on August 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), administered by the Federal Highway Administration. This grant funds statewide bridge safety assurance consultant services involving comprehensive diving and fathometer inspections of underwater bridge infrastructure across multiple regions in New York State, including Kings County, Richmond County, and other designated transportation regions (R1 through R11). The inspection services are organized by geographic division—Dive East (covering Regions 1, 2, 7, 8, 9), Dive West (Regions 3, 4, 5, 6), and Dive South (Regions 10, 11)—with additional targeted inspections in specialized locations including Gowanus and various New York City boroughs (New York, Queens, Kings, Richmond, and Bronx Counties).

The deliverables under this formula grant consist of professional underwater inspection and assessment services that support bridge inventory development and safety assurance through Federal Fiscal Years 2025-2028. These specialized consultant inspections employ diving and fathometer technology to evaluate bridge structural conditions in aquatic environments, enabling the state to maintain accurate bridge inventory data and prioritize maintenance and rehabilitation needs. This work aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's core objectives of preserving and improving transportation infrastructure while maintaining public safety across the state's comprehensive bridge network.
