Borden road STR #4032 over prairie creek, ionia county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) a Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) formula grant of $272,657.05 on November 4, 2025, for the replacement of Borden Road Structure #4032 over Prairie Creek in Ionia County, Michigan. This project falls within the scope of eligible Bridge Formula Program activities, which funds highway bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, protection, and construction on public roads. The awarded funds will support the complete replacement of the bridge structure to address current conditions and safety requirements.

The project is scheduled for ultimate completion by June 11, 2032, representing a multi-year infrastructure delivery timeline typical of bridge replacement initiatives. As a formula grant apportioned directly to Michigan as a state transportation authority, these funds reflect FHWA's allocation methodology based on the relative costs of replacing the state's bridges classified in poor condition and rehabilitating those in fair condition. MDOT will execute this bridge replacement project as the prime recipient, with all work performed within Ionia County as part of Michigan's federal-aid highway system.
