§ 661.23 How will a bridge project be programmed for funding once eligibility has been determined? (a) All projects will be programmed for funding after a completed application package is received and accepted by the FHWA. At that time, the project will be acknowledged as either BIA and Tribally owned, or non-BIA owned and placed in either a PE or a construction queue. (b) All projects will be ranked and prioritized based on the following criteria: (1) Bridge sufficiency rating (SR); (2) Bridge status with structurally deficient (SD) having precedence over functionally obsolete (FO); (3) Bridges on school bus routes; (4) Detour length; (5) Average daily traffic; and (6) Truck average daily traffic. (c) Queues will carryover from fiscal year to fiscal year as made necessary by the amount of annual funding made available.
