AI Summary

This bill establishes a competitive grant program to repair, improve, rehabilitate, or replace bridges in order to improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of people and freight over bridge crossings. The program provides grants for eligible projects, with larger grants (over $100 million) going through a more rigorous evaluation process. Grants can be used for development, construction, and protection of bridges. The bill sets aside funding for tribal transportation facility bridges and requires the Secretary to consider geographic diversity and the needs of rural and urban communities when awarding grants.
