USDOT Bridge Investment Program (BIP) - Planning and Bridge Project Grants

This is a solicitation for applications for FY 2023-2026 for two funding categories:
(1) Planning and (2) Bridge Project grants (a project with total eligible costs not greater than
$100 million) for awards under the Bridge Investment Program (BIP).

Planning grant funds will be awarded on a competitive basis for planning, feasibility analyses,
and revenue forecasting associated with the development of a project that would be subsequently eligible to apply for assistance under the BIP.

Bridge Project funds will be awarded on a competitive basis for bridge replacement,
rehabilitation, preservation, and protection projects with total eligible costs of not greater than
$100 million that: (1) improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of people and freight over bridges; and (2) improve the condition of bridges in the United States by
reducing (a) the number of bridges, and total person miles traveled over bridges, that are in poor condition or that are in fair condition and at risk of falling into poor condition within the next 3 years, or (b) the number of bridges, and total person miles traveled over bridges, that do not meet current geometric design standards or cannot meet the load and traffic requirements typical of the regional transportation network (23 U.S.C. 124(b)).
