Right-of-way for replacement of BR 3-437 on SR54 lighthouse road

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Delaware Department of Transportation $1 million on March 19, 2026, under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) to fund right-of-way acquisition and bridge replacement for Bridge 3-437 on State Route 54 (Lighthouse Road) in Delaware. Performance extends through May 31, 2030. The Bridge Formula Program, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocates funding to states via formula based on the relative costs of replacing bridges classified as in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges classified as fair condition; BFP funds support bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, protection, or construction on public roads. DelDOT, a state transportation agency headquartered in Dover, receives the award as a prime recipient of federal formula grants serving Delaware's highway, bridge, and multimodal transportation infrastructure needs across the state's three counties.
