(The Center Square) – Transportation Secretary Tim Gatz updated the Oklahoma Transportation Commission on plans for federal money coming to the state from the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
“Those dollars specifically are directed to bridges both on the highway system and off the highway system that are in poor or fair condition,” Gatz said Monday. “The department right now is working to review how we’re going to administer the Bridge Formula Program dollars.”
The Bridge Formula Program is part of the IIJA and will give a total of $26.5 billion to the 50 states over a five-year period for bridge repairs, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) said in January. It expects about 5,000 highway bridges nationwide to be repaired through the program.
