Lewiston, stetson brook bridge #0091

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Maine Department of Transportation $665,648.00 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 30, 2025, to support the replacement of Stetson Brook Bridge #0091 in Lewiston, Maine. This formula grant funds the complete replacement of the existing bridge structure over Stetson Brook, located 0.20 miles north of Old Farm Road. The project represents a critical infrastructure preservation activity consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's mandate to assist states in developing, preserving, and improving highway infrastructure through both construction and improvement initiatives.

As a federally assisted state-administered program, the funding enables MaineDOT to execute this bridge replacement project in accordance with applicable planning, design, environmental, and safety requirements established under the Highway Planning and Construction program. Bridge replacement activities are eligible uses of formula grant funding under this assistance listing, which authorizes annual apportionments to states for highway-related infrastructure work. The project will proceed through FHWA division office approval and project agreement execution before construction commences, ensuring compliance with applicable federal regulations and stewardship oversight requirements.
