California will take home the biggest share of the $27 billion federal bridge repair and replace program, the first highway infrastructure funding package to be rolled out under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The $4.25 billion going to California ranks first among allocations announced Friday for all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to help fix an estimated 15,000 bridges across the country.
California’s share is 16% of the bridge program’s total funding, which is allocated over five years. The 10 states receiving the highest funding levels represent just over half of the total Bridge Formula Program (see table). The complete allocation table can be accessed on the Federal Highway Administration’s website.
“The Biden-Harris administration is thrilled to launch this program to fix thousands of bridges across the country — the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
“Modernizing America’s bridges will help improve safety, support economic growth and make people’s lives better in every part of the country — across rural, suburban, urban and tribal communities.”
