USDOT will invest $3 billion to rebuild aging bridges
On May 14, 2026, the U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced the Department of Transportation is moving quickly to make $3 billion available for states to invest in aging bridge infrastructure across the country. The Federal Highway Administration’s Bridge Investment Program focuses on repairing bridges in poor condition so residents can safely get to work and school, as well as aid businesses in moving their goods efficiently.
“For too long, essential infrastructure has been held hostage by red tape delaying improvements that move traffic,” said Duffy. “The department is clearing the path for states to rebuild aging bridges faster and more efficiently. We are putting the focus back where it belongs: Safety, Reliability and getting Americans home to their families.”
