Districts 1, 5, 6 &10 bridge preservation (2022) (S)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a formula grant to the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) on July 28, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), obligating $139,157.29 for bridge preservation activities. The project involves the application of polymer overlay treatments to 45 bridge structures located across Districts 1, 5, 6, and 10 in Arkansas as part of the agency's 2022 bridge preservation initiative. This work falls within the eligible highway and bridge improvement activities authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and reflects ongoing state-level bridge maintenance and rehabilitation efforts.

The polymer overlay treatment represents a cost-effective bridge preservation strategy designed to extend the service life of existing structures and enhance their durability and safety performance. The funding supports ArDOT's broader bridge preservation program, which is one of several transportation infrastructure categories the agency administers through formula allocations from the FHWA, enabling systematic preventive maintenance and rehabilitation across the state's transportation network.
