Bridgeport 获2,460万美元联邦 RAISE 拨款重建 Congress Street Bridge：联邦资金总额升至2,690万美元
美国康涅狄格州 Bridgeport 市，市长 Ganim 11月13日宣布，该市获得2,460万美元联邦资金，用于更换位于市中心区的 Congress Street Bridge。
这笔资金来自美国交通部的「重建美国基础设施与可持续和公平」计划（RAISE）。
计入这笔拨款后，Congress Street Bridge 更换项目的联邦资金总额达到2,690万美元。市长在声明中感谢国会众议员 Jim Himes、参议员 Richard Blumenthal 与参议员 Chris Murphy 为促成拨款遴选所做的推动。
Ganim 表示，三十年后，Congress Street Bridge 终于将重新连接繁忙的东区与市中心社区，并改善公共安全响应；市政府已准备好开工，确保项目迅速完成。他的原话说，这座桥将重新连接两个社区，并提升警察、消防与救护等公共安全力量的响应条件。
RAISE 计划允许州与地方政府等项目发起方，为难以通过其他拨款计划筹资的多式联运、跨辖区项目申请资金。按交通部说明，RAISE 拨款授予将对地方或区域产生显著影响的地面交通项目。
这笔拨款最早于2025年1月由康涅狄格州联邦参议员 Chris Murphy、Richard Blumenthal 与众议员 Jim Himes 宣布入选，市府11月13日再次公布资金总额与项目口径。
Bridgeport 是康涅狄格州人口较多的城市之一，位于 Long Island Sound 沿岸。市政府此次只公布了资金落地的消息，更换工程的具体施工时间表有待后续公布。

Bridgeport Receives $24.6 Million Federal RAISE Grant to Replace Congress Street Bridge, Total Federal Funding Reaches $26.9 Million
BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut, United States. Mayor Ganim announced on November 13 that the City of Bridgeport has received $24.6 million for the replacement of the Congress Street Bridge, located in the downtown area of the city.
The funding was received from the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant program.
With the RAISE grant included, the total federal funding for the Congress Street Bridge replacement now stands at $26.9 million. The mayor thanked Congressman Jim Himes, Senator Richard Blumenthal, and Senator Chris Murphy for their advocacy in securing the final funding for the project through the grant selection process.
I want to thank Congressman Jim Himes, Senator Chris Murphy, and Senator Richard Blumenthal for their steadfast advocacy to secure final funding for this project, Mayor Ganim stated. After thirty years, the Congress Street Bridge will finally reconnect the bustling East Side and Downtown neighborhoods and will increase public safety response times. The City of Bridgeport is prepared to get to work and ensure this project is completed expeditiously.
The RAISE program allows project sponsors, including state and local governments, to pursue multi-modal and multi-jurisdictional projects that are more difficult to fund through other grant programs. RAISE grants are awarded to eligible surface transportation projects that will have a significant local or regional impact.
The grant was first announced as selected in January 2025 by Connecticut Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal and Representative Jim Himes; the city restated the total funding and project terms on November 13.
Bridgeport is one of Connecticut's largest cities, on the shore of Long Island Sound. The city's announcement covers the funding award; a construction timetable for the replacement bridge is to follow as the project moves from funding into delivery.
