Replace the bridge carrying TR 392 (2980E) over baptist creek located 4.0 miles northeast of fountain green

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Illinois Department of Transportation $799,119.94 on December 17, 2025, under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) to replace the bridge carrying TR 392 over Baptist Creek located 4.0 miles northeast of Fountain Green, Illinois, and reconstruct the approaches.

The Bridge Formula Program, established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, apportions funding to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico via formula based on the relative costs of replacing bridges classified as in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges classified as in fair condition. BFP funds support highway bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, protection, or construction projects on public roads.

The award period extends from December 17, 2025, through December 11, 2035, with place of performance in Illinois. The Illinois Department of Transportation, a division of the State of Illinois, receives and administers the funding as the federally designated state transportation agency. IDOT typically sub-awards federal transportation funds to municipalities, county highway departments, airport authorities, and specialized service providers, though the source does not specify sub-recipient arrangements for this particular project.
