On charles AVE, over W BR wapsinonoc CR in cedar county - bridge replacement - continuous concrete slab bridge (CCS)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Iowa Department of Transportation $180,512.59 under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) on October 17, 2025, for bridge replacement infrastructure work. This formula grant funds the replacement of a continuous concrete slab (CCS) bridge located on Charles Avenue over the West Branch Wapsinonoc Creek in Cedar County, Iowa. The project is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2029, and represents a capital investment in highway bridge infrastructure under the Bridge Formula Program, which apportions funding to states based on the relative costs of replacing bridges in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges in fair condition.

Under the Bridge Formula Program, eligible activities include highway bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, protection, and construction on public roads. This specific award funds a full bridge replacement project that will deliver a new continuous concrete slab structure to improve safety and extend the service life of the crossing over the Wapsinonoc Creek watershed in Cedar County.
