UG bridge network prioritization program

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, $465,000 on June 23, 2026, under the Bridge Investment Program (CFDA 20.264) to develop a risk-based prioritization process across its bridge-length structure inventory.

The project will identify and address a backlog of bridge rehabilitation and replacement candidates by incorporating criteria aligned with recognized asset management methods, identifying priority bridge candidates for future Bridge/Large Bridge Project Grant applications, and identifying and preparing revenue and external funding sources to assist in rehabilitation or replacement construction costs. The Unified Government will coordinate with regulatory agencies to identify anticipated requirements and impacts through planning and environment linkage studies for priority structures.

Performance extends through June 2, 2031. Work is performed in Kansas.
