CHBP Public Engagement Survey

In 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation will award up to $250 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 additional transportation infrastructure funding to those who apply.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT), along with Keokuk County and 20+ other counties and cities, is applying to receive funding to help rebuild 34 bridges in poor condition across the state. These bridge replacement projects would improve safety, increase communities’ connection to nearby areas, 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 help by completing a brief survey! This survey will give us insight into your views on the bridges, how you use the current structures, and your thoughts on potential wider, safer bridges that can carry heavier loads. The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. We appreciate your input!
