IDIQ pedestrian & bicycle facility development, kent & sussex county, FY24-FY27 - rural

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) was awarded a $722,684.75 Formula Grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This funding will be used to design and construct pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements within Kent and Sussex Counties in Delaware from FY2024 to FY2027.

The project aims to enhance safety, connectivity, and mobility of the multi-modal transportation network in these rural areas. Key activities include closing gaps in alternative transportation facilities, creating new bike/pedestrian pathways, and upgrading existing infrastructure to be ADA-compliant. The goal is to provide improved access to destinations and enable safer, connected multi-modal transportation options, thereby reducing vehicular traffic and associated carbon emissions.
