MDOT Wins $32,245,500 CRISI Grant for Muskegon River Bridge Replacement
Michigan's state DOT secured $32,245,500 in FY2025-2026 CRISI funding to replace the Muskegon River Bridge and preserve freight rail service in rural Clare County.
The Michigan Department of Transportation has been awarded $32,245,500 through the Federal Railroad Administration's Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements program for the FY2025-2026 cycle. The funding will go toward replacing the Muskegon River Bridge in Clare County, Michigan, restoring the structure to a state of good repair and supporting continued freight service to rural northern Michigan businesses. The award carries a 30 percent non-federal match requirement and is designated as a rural project. As the state DOT rather than a railroad itself, MDOT is the direct recipient, with the project classified under the bridge archetype.
