Summary
The Bridge Investment Program is a competitive, discretionary program that focuses on existing bridges to reduce the overall number of bridges in poor condition, or in fair condition at risk of falling into poor condition. It also expands applicant eligibilities to create opportunity for all levels of government to be direct recipients of program funds. Alongside states and federal lands management agencies, metropolitan planning organizations and local and tribal governments can also apply directly to FHWA, making it easier to advance projects at the local level that meet community needs.
Common Eligible Projects
For Fiscal Year 2026, FHWA is offering two grant programs:
“Planning” grants support planning, feasibility analyses, and revenue forecasting associated with the development of a future BIP eligible project; and,
“Bridge Project” grants support bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, and protection projects with total eligible costs of $100 million or less.
