FHWA Awards $62 Billion for Infrastructure Projects
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), $62 billion in Fiscal Year 2025 funding for 12 formula programs that invest in the nation’s infrastructure. These investments from the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are creating good-paying jobs building roads, bridges, and tunnel projects across all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico— and helping states chip away at infrastructure needs that have gone unaddressed due to lack of funding.
“With over 60,000 projects funded through our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we continue to deliver on the decades-long promise to invest in American infrastructure,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “The $62 billion the Biden-Harris administration announced today will help states and communities continue to rebuild roads and bridges, implement new and innovative transportation solutions, strengthen our supply chains, and create good-paying jobs nationwide.”
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law made the single largest dedicated investment in American transportation infrastructure since the construction of the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s and 1960s. The fourth year of funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $62 billion in funding for Fiscal Year 2025 – an increase of $18.8 billion in formula programs compared to Fiscal Year 2021, the last fiscal year before the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was implemented. This funding is distributed annually by FHWA based on Congressionally mandated formulas.
“The Biden Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was signed into law less than three years ago, and yet we are in the midst of an infrastructure decade celebrating historic funding investments to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico,” said Acting Federal Highway Administrator Kristin White. “These investments keep Americans safer, promote efficiency, advance our climate goals, and spur technological innovation. This funding also creates good-paying, high-skilled jobs and helps to reconnect communities, improving the lives of every American.”
Congress authorizes the Federal-aid Highway Program funds periodically through multi-year laws to assist States in construction, and improvement of highways and bridges on eligible Federal-aid routes. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law created both new programs and expanded existing programs within the Federal-aid Highway Program.
