Summary
The bill repeals the existing Carbon Reduction and PROTECT programs and moves their funding into a newly created National Bridge Program. States will receive bridge money based mainly on the total deck area of their federal‑aid bridges, with extra weight given to bridges in poor condition. This changes how federal bridge aid is calculated and distributed.
