Greetings and salutations!
U.S. Coast Guard sent this bulletin at 10/30/2023 03:07 PM EDTHello! A brief update on what's good and what's happening with the Coast Guard Bridge Program. First off, you asked for it and now we've got it - all of our Information Session presentations have been saved to PDF format and are available for viewing at PROJECTS (uscg.mil) under "Bridge Program Information Session Material." For the uninitiated, we've been spending a considerable amount of time visiting various state level DOT agencies (and federal interagency partners) offering a very comprehensive introduction to the Coast Guard bridge permitting process. These PDF's cover the bulk of the presentations and may prove useful to those who've attended our roadshows, but would like the chance to review some of the material we covered. Of course, we're still available if you have additional questions, so feel free to call or email us!
Second, we've included a couple of links worth checking out. The Federal Highway Administration is presently accepting applications for "Large Bridge Project" grant funding for Fiscal years 2023 through 2026. There's funding available via the Bridge Investment Program for those projects with a price tag in the neighborhood of $100M (or more). For further information, click below:

And as always, if you're interested in additional visits from Coast Guard Bridge Program staff, then by all means let us know and we'll make the necessary arrangements!
