The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $147,923.50 to the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration on June 18, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant supports the replacement of Steel Girder Bridge No. 1005400, located on MD 77 (Rocky Ridge Road) over Beaver Branch in Frederick County, Maryland. The funded project encompasses bridge replacement construction activities designed to address structural deficiencies and enhance safety on the state's highway system.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for highway-related infrastructure projects, including bridge rehabilitation and replacement work. As Maryland's primary transportation infrastructure agency, the State Highway Administration leverages such federal funding to maintain and improve the state's bridge inventory and multimodal transportation networks across all regions of Maryland. This specific award represents one component of the division's comprehensive federal grant portfolio, which has historically totaled tens of millions of dollars for transportation infrastructure improvements statewide.
