Piedmont regional greenway. Linville road near salem lake to hastings hill road. Construct greenway

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $210,000 to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on August 14, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to construct approximately 6,500 linear feet of the Piedmont Regional Greenway along Kerners Mills Creek. The project extends from Linville Road near Salem Lake to Hastings Hill Road and includes construction of a pedestrian culvert under Hastings Hill Road to facilitate safe pedestrian passage across the roadway corridor.

As a formula grant distributed through the FHWA's statutory allocation process, this award supports NCDOT's multimodal transportation infrastructure priorities by advancing pedestrian and bicycle facility development as an eligible project category under the Highway Planning and Construction program. The greenway project represents a typical investment in recreational and active transportation connectivity within the state's transportation planning framework, with NCDOT administering the project in accordance with federal design, environmental, and oversight requirements established under 23 CFR and 49 CFR.
