Bridge washing/deck sealing: regionwide

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the New York State Department of Transportation $1,612,642 via the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) on December 2, 2025, for bridge washing, deck sealing, debris removal, and corrosive substance protection across federal-aid eligible state highways in Columbia, Dutchess, Ulster, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, and Westchester counties. The work will clean and wash bridges and seal decks as needed to protect infrastructure against deterioration. Performance spans New York counties within the specified region, with ultimate completion targeted for December 31, 2035. The Bridge Formula Program, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, apportions funding to states via formula based on relative costs of replacing bridges in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges in fair condition. Obligated funds remain available for expenses properly charged until five years after lapse of the period of availability for obligation, after which unexpended balances are cancelled and returned to the U.S. Treasury.
