Cambridge, ripley road/ ferguson STR bridge #3583

The Maine Department of Transportation received a $253,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective May 1, 2025. The funding supports the replacement of the Ripley Road/Ferguson Stream Bridge (#3583) in Cambridge, Maine, located 0.41 miles east of Route 150. This bridge replacement project represents infrastructure preservation and improvement work eligible under the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides annual funding to states through statutory formula allocations authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

As a state-administered program, the Highway Planning and Construction funding mechanism allows MaineDOT to prioritize and execute projects meeting federal requirements for design, environmental review, and safety compliance. The bridge replacement delivers critical transportation infrastructure improvements by replacing an aging structure over Ferguson Stream, supporting the FHWA's broader mission of maintaining and enhancing the nation's highway system through state transportation departments.
