Bill overview
The SAFE Bridges Act of 2019 aims to improve the safety and condition of bridges across the United States. It directs the Department of Transportation to establish a program that provides financial assistance to states for the rehabilitation or replacement of bridges classified as ‘in poor condition.’ The program will use a formula based on the total cost of rehabilitation or replacement needs in each state to distribute funds, with a 100% federal share for project costs. The goal is to prevent bridges from being classified as ‘in poor condition’ after improvements are made.
