Under Title 23 of the U.S. Code (Highways), there is a long-standing general prohibition on the imposition of tolls on Federal-aid highways; however, Title 23 and other statutes have carved out certain exceptions to this general prohibition through special programs. These programs allow tolling to generate revenue to support highway construction ac

On a monthly basis, each State is required to report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the amount of gallons taxed by that state. This data is analyzed and compiled by FHWA staff. The data on the amount of on-highway fuel use for each State is then used to attribute federal revenue to each State. Yearly, the FHWA, Office of Policy, prov

Operating safe and reliable transportation networks costs money. Frequently, State Departments of Transportation (SDOTs) are under pressure to do more with less. Many SDOTs are using State-owned property to install renewable energy resources such as solar panels or wind turbines in the highway right-of-way (ROW). This can reduce electricity costs f

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is producing research and technical assistance to enable transportation agencies to use natural and nature-based features to improve the resilience of transportation systems. FHWA sponsored five pilot projects to assess the potential for nature-based techniques to protect specific locations along coastal ro

In the mid-2000s, over 10% of Missouri’s bridges were rated serious (Condition 3) or poor (Condition 4) under the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) National Bridge Inspection Standards. The timeframe to repair the approximately 1,100 bridges using MoDOT’s standard capital programming approach was too long. Missouri accelerated the rehabilitatio

DelDOT uses a series of bridge bundling contracts to address preventative maintenance issues on their bridges. Work to be included in these contracts is prioritized by DelDOT’s Bridge Management section, and the contracts are administered by the DelDOT maintenance districts. A combination of Federal and State funds is used to pay for the work. DelD

Northampton County is located in Eastern Pennsylvania, bordering New Jersey, and is the owner of 119 bridges. Like most other counties in the Commonwealth, a significant percentage of its bridge inventory was rated in poor condition or was considered functionally obsolete. Addressing each deficient or obsolete bridge by using traditional contractin

Georgia's Transportation Funding Act of 2015 resulted in an additional $757 million in 2016 and an estimated $824 million in 2017 for GDOT. With that, the GDOT bridge program increased from $155 million in 2015 to approximately $279 million in 2016, $301 million in 2017, and $369 million in 2018. In an effort to ramp up bridge replacement and repai

Seventy-four percent (11,147) of Nebraska’s 15,065 bridges (crossings over 20 feet in length) are on the county road system in Nebraska. Of these, 2,152 (19.3%) are rated in poor condition. In an effort to help reduce the number of county-owned bridges in poor condition, NDOT created a County Bridge Match Program within a Nebraska Transportation In

Erie County uses a series of bridge bundling contracts to address preventative maintenance issues on its bridges. The bridges are bundled primarily by work type. Location is also a consideration, but sometimes contracts are countywide. There are four types of bundled maintenance contracts: steel repair contracts, deck repair contracts, bridge washi

In the early 2000s, DelDOT discovered that it had a serious problem with deterioration of large pipe culverts. Due to a decision made in the 1980s to remove them from the bridge inventory, hundreds of large culverts in poor condition had escaped inspection for decades. DelDOT assessed the problem and began a bundling program to replace the culverts

This project started as a pilot in 2012. Bundled bridge projects are confined to one district, preference to one county, within a 15-mile radius. All bridges must be in poor condition and locally owned, with preference given to structures that are posted or closed. PennDOT targeted single-span bridges between 20 feet and 60 feet in length with skew

In 2000, Osceola County, FL, was faced with the challenge of delivering a large-scale design and construction program funded by newly adopted impact fees. The program required the concurrent construction of 9–11 major roadway projects with an additional 7 being completed in design each calendar year. Less than 7 years into the program, by using tra

I n October 2013, Governor Kasich announce that Ohio would invest $110 million to repair or replace more than 200 county- and city-owned bridges over the next 3 years. The program was 100% federally funded. ODOT used GARVEE bonds to pay for 80% of the program, and the 20% match was covered by using toll credits, eliminating any local match. ODOT wo

The Pennsylvania Rapid Bridge Replacement Project is replacing 558 structurally deficient bridges in 3 years under a single contract through an availability payment-based public–private partnership (P3). The bridges are primarily state owned, smaller spans that are on roads with low traffic volumes in rural areas across the state. The project accel

South Carolina began bundling bridges with a pilot program in 2003. That project was a D-B contract, which included 33 bridges at a cost of $20 million. SCDOT took their lessons learned from the pilot project and issued a second bridge bundle contract in 2008. Again, it was a D-B contract, but this time the bridges were chosen all within District 4

This was a fast-paced program to replace bridge decks on 116 bridges over a period of 2 years. The goal was to get New Yorkers back to work during the slow economy in 2012 and 2013. Both D-B-B and D-B project delivery methods were used to deliver bridge bundles to complete the work.
The NYSDOT (Region 1) uses a series of bridge bundling contracts to address preventative maintenance issues on their bridges. The contracts are assembled by the Bridge Design Section and are administered by the Construction Section. There are three types of bundled maintenance contracts: bridge preservation contracts, bridge painting contracts, and
