Local agency off system bridge inspection SFY 26-27

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) a formula grant of $1.65 million on June 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for State Fiscal Years 2026-2027. This funding supports local agency off-system bridge inspection and load rating services across Oregon during the 25-27 biennium. These services are critical infrastructure assessment activities that evaluate the structural condition and weight-carrying capacity of bridges not located on federal-aid highways, enabling state and local transportation authorities to make informed maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety decisions.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for a range of highway-related projects, with bridge rehabilitation and safety enhancements representing key eligible activities. ODOT administers this formula grant allocation in partnership with local agencies and county transportation departments to deliver comprehensive bridge inspection and load rating services that support infrastructure preservation and transportation safety across the state's off-system bridge network.
