Federal Highway Administration stops regulating bridges on federal dams

The Federal Highway Administration is removing its specific rules for building bridges on federal dams. This means bridge builders will only need to follow general safety and construction rules, not an extra layer of federal dam-specific regulations.

For decades, building a bridge on a federal dam meant navigating an extra set of rules from the Federal Highway Administration, on top of all the other regulations. This change removes that specific hurdle. It makes the process simpler and potentially faster for infrastructure projects that involve federal dams.
