Summary
The Federal Highway Administration is eliminating old rules that allowed states and contractors to start building highway projects before receiving final federal approval and funding. This change simplifies the process for how federal road projects get built, potentially making it faster and clearer when construction can actually begin.
Key Points
- 1The FHWA is removing outdated procedures that permitted advance construction of highway projects funded with federal dollars
- 2Previously, states could begin work on certain roads before getting final federal sign-off, which sometimes created confusion about funding and project status
- 3This change affects state transportation departments, construction companies, and others involved in building federally-funded roads
- 4The new rules should clarify the approval process and establish clearer timelines for when construction can start
- 5This primarily impacts how federal highway dollars flow and how projects are managed between the federal government and states
