Innovations	Largest project ever constructed by DDOT and first river bridge replacement in the District in more than 40 years DDOT is using a form of tapered match that credits the department with $63.6 million in local dollar expenditures incurred after authorization of the project but prior to the issuance of the GARVEE bonds. In this manner, full repayment of the GARVEE bonds over 15 years will come from future Federal-aid revenues without the need for a payment-by-payment local match.
