The project will deliver element-specific repairs including paint application and steel repairs to the federal-aid eligible bridge structure, with design phases addressing pavement restoration to the U.S. approach of the bridge. Funding for the project utilizes National Highway Freight Program (NHFP) resources combined with toll credits covering 20% of eligible costs.

The project has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2035, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the bridge maintenance initiative. As a state-administered project under the Federal-aid Highway Program framework, NYS DOT is responsible for project oversight, design approval, and construction management in coordination with FHWA division office requirements. This award supports the state's ongoing efforts to maintain critical cross-border transportation infrastructure and preserve the structural integrity of this international bridge facility.
