FHWA awards $7.6m highway improvement grant

FHWA awards $7.6m highway improvement grant
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has awarded $7.6m (£5.9m) in grants to nine state department of transportation projects to promote the use of new standards and technologies to accelerate highway and bridge construction.

The funding – awarded via the FHWA’s Accelerated Innovation Deployment Demonstration or AIDD program – aims to help accelerate project delivery, saving time and resources, while improving construction safety, FHWA reports.

The agency also noted in a statement that since it launched in 2014, it has awarded more than $103.4m (£80.75m) for 136 grants through the AIDD scheme; an initiative also supported under FHWA’s Every Day Counts program.

The programme also helps states make the transportation systems under their purview become more adaptable, sustainable, equitable, and safer for all.
