This 2024 round of the program made up to $20 million ($16 million of state bridge funding/$4 million local match) available to fund bridge rehabilitation or reconstruction projects using PennDOT's retro-reimbursement process. DVRPC is pleased to announce eleven bridges have been selected.
DVRPC recently conducted a third round of the Municipal Bridge Retro-Reimbursement Program (MBRP), providing an opportunity for municipalities in the DVRPC-PA region to secure funding for projects to rehabilitate or replace locally owned bridges. This program allows the region to improve the safety and condition of its municipal bridges with state bridge funds from the Pennsylvania Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). In the past two rounds of the MBRP, twenty-one bridges have been rehabilitated or replaced to be classified as in a State of Good Repair. Previous MBRP projects have ranged from $130,000 to $2,200,000 and were located across Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. The last round of selected projects for this program occurred in December 2018.
This 2024 round of the program made up to $20 million ($16 million of state bridge funding/$4 million local match) available to fund bridge rehabilitation or reconstruction projects using PennDOT's retro-reimbursement process.
