In Kansas Fiscal Year 2027, the agency allocated approximately $20 million through the Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program for the replacement of 15 bridges and the permanent removal of four deficient bridges from the local system. Additionally, through the Off-System Bridge Program, $20.5 million in federal Fiscal Year 2028 funding will support 16 projects statewide. The funding mix includes federal Surface Transportation Block Grant funds, Bridge Program funds, and state funds.

Governor Laura Kelly stated that local bridges are vital for connecting communities and supporting the state's economy, and that improvement projects can create a safer and more reliable transportation network for those who depend on them.
