Federal Highway Administration's contract dollars, traced to the source.

Federal Highway Administration · Department of Transportation

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the Department of Transportation component that funds and oversees the nation's highway, bridge, and parkway network, largely through federal-aid grants to states plus direct construction on federal and tribal lands. Its direct-contract dollars — roughly $1.21B in FY2025 obligations — are dominated by heavy civil construction: the top awards are all large road, bridge, and parkway projects, including Granite Construction's Pretty Rocks landslide bridge in Denali (~$215M), Fort Myer's George Washington Memorial Parkway reconstruction (~$173M), and Wagman's Colonial Parkway rehabilitation (~$134M). Bridge replacement and parkway/roadway reconstruction under the Federal Lands Highway program drive the bulk of the procurement feed.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't

This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Federal Highway Administration awarding sub-agency. It shows where FHWA's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) slice from USAspending FY2025 award obligations, not FHWA's total budget authority, which is overwhelmingly federal-aid highway grants to states. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Transportation monitor.
