Municipal Bridge Program
The Municipal Bridge Program provides federal funds to municipal corporations and Regional Transit Authorities for bridge replacement or bridge rehabilitation projects. A funding limit of $2.5 million per project is set. ODOT will provide up to 80% of eligible costs for construction only. Historically, the funding amount for this program has been approximately $8 million annually. Currently, there are about 1,300 bridges statewide that have a Municipal owner and meet the Federal definition of a bridge (20 feet or greater). The application cycle is annual, beginning each January 1 in which the application (available below) must be submitted to the appropriate district by March 1. The next cycle, beginning January 1, 2008, will be for the selection of projects for FY 2012.
