According to Title 23 of USC Section 125 “In no event shall funds be used…for the repair or reconstruction of bridges that have been permanently closed…by the State or responsible local official because of imminent danger of collapse due to a structural deficiency or physical deterioration.” The conditions are likely covered by other funds. Note, however, that if a bridge was closed for a hurricane-related issue not related to design or construction techniques, it would be eligible for ER funding.
