Support for Community Bridges: More Funding for Repairs and Maintenance

This act aims to allocate more financial resources for the repair and maintenance of bridges not part of major federal highways. This will improve safety and travel comfort in local communities and reduce the risk of closure for important local crossings.
Key points
Increased Funding: 2.5% of total transportation program funds will be allocated to off-system bridges.
Priority for Poor Condition Bridges: 75% of these funds will go towards repairing bridges in the worst condition.
Flexibility for States: States can obtain a waiver from spending requirements if their bridges are in good condition.
Project Facilitation: Off-system bridge projects will be treated the same as federal-aid highway projects, potentially speeding up implementation.
