This award funds bridge rehabilitation and replacement projects across Essex County in upstate New York, specifically targeting the replacement of the I-87 Exit 32 northbound off-ramp bridge over Spruce Mill Brook in the Town of Lewis, as well as the rehabilitation of two rustic rail bridges in the Town of Chesterfield. These infrastructure improvements represent critical maintenance and modernization activities that align with the program's core mission of supporting construction, preservation, and improvement of highway infrastructure and associated bridge systems.

The Highway Planning and Construction program, administered by the FHWA under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization, provides annual federal-aid highway funds to states through a combination of statutory formula and discretionary allocations. Eligible activities include bridge rehabilitation, roadway preservation, safety enhancements, and multimodal transportation improvements.
