Perry, cross culvert (#88081)

The Maine Department of Transportation received a $625,000 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects program (CFDA 20.934) on August 14, 2025. The award funds the replacement of a large culvert (#88081) located 0.21 miles east of Burby Road in Perry, Maine. This infrastructure improvement project is part of the FHWA's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization, which dedicates $8 billion across fiscal years 2022-2026 to support highway and freight infrastructure projects of national or regional significance.

The culvert replacement project represents a critical infrastructure maintenance and repair initiative within Maine's transportation system. As the state's primary transportation agency, MaineDOT will oversee the design and construction phases of the culvert replacement to address infrastructure preservation and system performance objectives. This project award falls within the typical scope and funding range of NSFHP-supported projects, which commonly include culvert replacements and related highway infrastructure improvements across eligible state and local government applicants nationwide.
