Benning RD bridges and transportation improvements - construction

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the District of Columbia $47.812 million on June 26, 2026, under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) for Benning Road bridges and transportation improvements construction.

The award funds replacement and rehabilitation of four bridge structures on Benning Road between OK Avenue and East Capitol Street—bridges 503 (eastbound), 503 (westbound), 104, and 104-1—along with associated transportation improvements at the Benning Road and Kenilworth intersection. All work is performed in Washington, D.C. The District of Columbia, acting through its Department of Public Works, is the recipient. Performance extends through May 29, 2032.

The Bridge Formula Program, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, distributes federal funding to the states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico via formula apportionment based on the relative costs of replacing bridges in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges in fair condition. BFP funds are restricted to highway bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, protection, or construction projects on public roads.
