MA & PA connector trail - segment 3

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $689,919.10 to the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration on May 6, 2025, through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant funds the development of Segment 3 of the MA & PA Connector Trail, a bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure project extending from the North Avenue Parking Lot to Blake's Venture Park in Maryland. The project represents the awardee's continued execution of multimodal transportation network improvements designed to enhance active transportation connectivity and safety across the state.

As a formula grant under the Federal-aid Highway Program, this award supports the construction phase of the bicycle and pedestrian route, which falls within eligible project categories that prioritize non-motorized transportation alternatives. The Maryland Department of Transportation, leveraging its substantial capacity in executing FHWA-funded transportation infrastructure projects, will deliver this shared-use path improvement as part of its comprehensive approach to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure development throughout Maryland's regions.
