The Grant Bridge Program in 1982. The program has continued to provide replacement funds for deficient structures since its inception. To be eligible to participate in the Grant Bridge program the Local Government must be in compliance with the National Bridge Inspection Standards at the time the contract between the State and the Local Government is executed. These standards require that all bridges with a load rating less than 15 tons be properly closed or posted with appropriate load rating signs. TDOT approves all plans before funding is provided to the Local Government.
