FHWA celebrated the ground “re-breaking” of an electric vehicle (EV) charger station in the heart of Ward 7 DC. The Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) received a grant from the Electric Vehicle Charging Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator (EVC-RAA) replace one broken EV charger with FOUR DC Fast Chargers. This program helps maintain and upgrade the existing infrastructure while we continue to expand our nationwide charging network and, at the same time, make sure these investments continue to work for people who need to charge their EVs. FHWA Deputy Administrator Kristin White joined DOEE Director Richard Jackson, District Department of Transportation (DDOT)’s John Thomas, and other partners in Washington, DC, yesterday to break ground on the electric vehicle charging site, the first in the nation under the EVC-RAA program. #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw #InvestingInAmerica

Summer heat is taking a toll on asphalt pavements. The FHWA Mobile Asphalt Technology Center (#MATC) is supporting agencies and contractors in their move towards balanced mix design. The Rapid Shear Rutting Test, or IDEAL-RT, is one test that can indicate the rutting susceptibility of asphalt mixtures at hot temperatures. It is one of many tests on pavement that the MATC demonstrates. Watch the MATC’s video on the IDEAL-RT: https://lnkd.in/eSpywKWu Want to learn more? Read the MATC one-pager: https://lnkd.in/ekPhAhnp

Our transportation system is one of the things that truly unites us as Americans. Hear from FHWA Administrator Shailen Bhatt about prioritizing the infrastructure demands of today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow, while announcing $1.5 billion to the Oregon Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation, to replace two aging vertical lift bridges over the Columbia River. This bridge will carry Interstate 5 and will include three travel lanes and one auxiliary lane in each direction to balance traffic. Together, we can ensure that our transportation network continues to unite and serve all Americans.
