I-25 at US50B reconstruction

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $8,583,933 from the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), awarded on July 2, 2025. This award funds the I-25 at US50B Reconstruction project in Pueblo, Colorado, which involves bridge replacement as the primary component of the highway infrastructure improvement initiative. The project represents a significant investment in highway preservation and safety enhancement on a critical interstate corridor, consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's mandate to support highway construction, reconstruction, and bridge rehabilitation activities across the United States.

Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorization framework, CDOT will utilize these funds to execute the bridge replacement work and associated highway reconstruction activities. The award exemplifies the program's formula-based allocation approach, whereby the Federal Highway Administration provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for infrastructure improvements selected through established state transportation planning processes. A sub-award issued on July 23, 2025, further delineates the I-25 at US50B Reconstruction scope, ensuring effective project administration and execution of the bridge replacement and related highway reconstruction work.
