Woonasquatucket river greenway enhancements - subrecipient project with the city of providence

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation received a $9.6 million Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration on September 21, 2022 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The funding will support enhancements to extend and improve the Woonasquatucket River Greenway bike path in Providence, Rhode Island. Specifically, the project aims to connect downtown Providence to Olneyville Square and the city's west side by creating a higher quality extension of the existing greenway. The City of Providence will serve as a subrecipient, managing project implementation to develop the extended multi-use path. The Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program provides funding to assist states in constructing, preserving, and improving highway infrastructure, consistent with the goals of this award to enhance bike and pedestrian connectivity.
