The CBMP has been instrumental in addressing the critical need for county bridge replacements, supporting rural communities and local economies. Many rural communities depend on these bridges for vital connections, and the program has provided essential funding to ensure their longevity and safety. Created under the Transportation Innovation Act (TIA) of 2016 , the program is funded through the Transportation Infrastructure Bank (TIB).
Renewed under LB 1030 (2024), CBMP continues to provide vital resources to help counties tackle the costly challenge of maintaining safe and reliable bridges. The passage of LB 1030 also created a working group to oversee the program, ensuring local officials have a voice in decision-making. Altogether, NDOT projects that the TIA will generate $529 million for infrastructure investments before it sunsets in 2033.
A working group of two county highway superintendents representing the Nebraska Association of County Officials (NACO) and three representatives from NDOT ensures that the voices of local experts are heard and that decisions are made with a comprehensive understanding of the unique needs of Nebraska’s counties.
