In 2025, 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.

Mitchell County, along with 20+ other counties, cities and the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT), is applying to receive funding to help rebuild 33 bridges in poor condition across the state. These bridge replacement projects would improve safety, increase communities’ connection to nearby areas, provide easier access for freight and agricultural-related movement and allow for economic growth.
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!
