Thanks to a huge increase in 2018 appropriations, the U.S. Dept. of Transportation has awarded about $1.5 billion in infrastructure grants for an array of project types in nearly every state, with highway and bridge projects snaring more than two-thirds of the dollars.
In formally announcing the winners of the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grants on Dec. 11 at an event at DOT headquarters, the department said it divided the funds among 91 projects in 49 states plus the District of Columbia.
