The City of Cedar Rapids received a $99.9 million Project Grant awarded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on June 4, 2026, under the Bridge Investment Program (CFDA 20.264). The award funds the Arc of Justice Bridge Replacement Project, which will replace the Eighth Avenue Bridge over the Cedar River. The existing structure, originally constructed in 1938 and reconstructed in 1987, is in poor condition, classified as part of the National Highway System under outdated HS20 truck design standards, and features Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-noncompliant sidewalks. The project addresses critical flood resilience concerns, as the Cedar River has reached or exceeded 100-year flood stage 15 times in the past 20 years, frequently closing the bridge during 25-year flood events. The replacement bridge will employ a cable-stayed design that minimizes steel girder support requirements, elevates the structure to provide adequate clearance above flood waters, and reduces the number of in-river pylons from seven to one 90-foot pylon. This configuration improves hydraulic flows, increases flood storage capacity, and reduces the upstream floodwall height by approximately nine inches. The project is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2031, with deliverables including full bridge replacement with enhanced structural capacity, improved accessibility compliance, and enhanced flood resilience infrastructure benefiting the Cedar Rapids community and the National Highway System.Federal Grant Award Summary
