Clayton County needs your help! Deadline July 23, 2026

In 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation will award up to $350 million in Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHBP) grants to support critical infrastructure projects across the country. CHBP is a nationally competitive grant program that provides funding for transportation bridge infrastructure.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT), in partnership with 20+ counties and cities, is applying to receive funding to rebuild 32 bridges in poor condition across the state. These bridge replacement projects would improve safety, increase communities’ connection to nearby areas, such as schools, businesses, hospitals, and parks, provide easier access for freight and agricultural-related movement, and allow for economic growth.
We need your assistance by telling us how you use the current structures and your thoughts on potential wider, safer bridges that can carry heavier loads. Linked below is a survey that will give us insight into your views on the bridges. The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. We appreciate your input!
