Summary from the notice

The purpose of this notice is to solicit applications 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). This notice establishes a “rolling application” process for Planning and Bridge Project applications by providing the schedule, requirements, and selection process for such projects for the remaining available amounts of the BIP funding provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) for FY 2023 through FY 2026, which total up to $9.7 billion (see section B.1 for details for funds available for each fiscal year). FHWA is soliciting applications for the other BIP project category in a separate NOFO available on Grants.gov, listing number 693JJ323NF00019: Large Bridge Project (a project with total eligible costs greater than $100 million). A total of up to $3.0 billion of FY 2025 and FY 2026 remains available for Large Bridge Project grants and Bridge Project grants.

This Amendment No. 2 amends the announcement published on December 20, 2023. This amended NOFO among other things aligns the NOFO with current Administration and Department policies and priorities, provides a process for FY 2025 cycle applications to amend their applications, and other updates. A redline version of the NOFO that identifies amendments is provided in addition to the clean version. Eligible applicants shall submit new applications that are responsive to this NOFO for consideration by June 15, 2026 for Planning applications and June 29, 2026 for Bridge Project applications. Applicants currently under consideration for a submission prior to October 1, 2024 for Planning applications and November 1, 2024 for Bridge Project applications, will be notified of the amendment process, as detailed in the NOFO Amendment No. 2.
