Nine civil works megaprojects across the country will receive a total of $1.2 billion in funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, according to a press release from the DOT.
As part of its National Infrastructure Project Assistance discretionary grant program, the DOT evaluated more than 100 applications based on safety, economic benefits, cost-effectiveness, job creation, environmental impact and supply chain resiliency, according to the release. The grant program will invest a total of $5 billion through 2026, particularly on infrastructure projects too large or complex for traditional funding programs.
