Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today announced Iowa will receive $44,640,000 to replace eight bridges across seven counties, including Cedar Rapids\u2019 Arc of Justice bridge. The U.S. Department of Transportation will administer the resources through its Bridge Investment Program, which was established in the Grassley-backed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).\n\n\u201cIowans consistently raise concerns about the safety of our bridges, and rightfully so \u2013 our bridges need upgrades. That\u2019s one of the reasons I voted for the bipartisan infrastructure law,\u201d Grassley said. \u201cThese grants will improve commuter safety and flood resilience, and strengthen our regional supply chain to help get Iowa products to market.\u201d\n\nAward Details:\n\nWashington County will receive $38,640,000 to remove and replace seven bridges in Washington, Hamilton, Buchanan, Jones, Cedar and Monroe counties.\n\nThe City of Cedar Rapids will receive $6,000,000 to replace the 86-year-old Arc of Justice bridge with a new, cable-stayed design. This will help raise the bridge above potential flood waters and improve hydraulic flow, reducing the height of Cedar Rapids\u2019 upstream floodwall.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/iowa-bridges-will-benefit-from-44-million-grassley-backed-federal-investment"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7916330359876156, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
