Local, critical findings local bridge repairs

The Idaho Department of Transportation received a formula grant award of $836,421.86 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective September 25, 2025, with a completion deadline of August 31, 2029. This award supports the "Local, Critical Findings Local Bridge Repairs" project, which will deliver bridge deck preservation and preventative maintenance services to bridges, bridge approaches, and guardrails at various locations throughout Idaho.

The project represents a state-administered investment in transportation infrastructure preservation, consistent with the Federal-aid Highway Program's authorization under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. As a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and the state's primary transportation authority, IDT will manage the multi-year initiative to extend the serviceable life of Idaho's bridge assets and enhance highway safety. This formula grant allocation reflects FHWA's ongoing commitment to supporting state-level bridge preservation activities that fall outside the typical competitive discretionary grant process.
