Hill to hill bridge rehabilitation

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation $2,983,792 for bridge rehabilitation on August 24, 2026, under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263). The work encompasses rehabilitation and preservation of three urban local bridges in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania: the Hill to Hill Bridge (State Route 378) over the Lehigh River, the Main Street Ramp over Monocacy Creek, and the Second Avenue Ramp over Krause Lane and West Street. Performance occurs in Lehigh and Northampton counties, Pennsylvania, with ultimate completion by June 30, 2032. The Bridge Formula Program apportions funding to states via formula based on the relative costs of replacing bridges in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges in fair condition. This award is a formula grant, meaning funding flows through Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as a state implementor of federal highway infrastructure allocations under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
