The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $190,884.05 to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 5, 2025. This Formula Grant supports infrastructure improvements on Westside Boulevard and Salem Turnpike in Roanoke, Virginia. The project encompasses the installation of approximately 1,300 linear feet of curb, gutter, and sidewalk at the intersection of Westside Boulevard and Salem Turnpike, extending from the bridge over Peters Creek to the apartments on Westside Boulevard.

The scope of work includes construction activities beyond pedestrian infrastructure, specifically the installation of storm drainage systems and asphalt paving to support the curb, gutter, and sidewalk installation. This project represents a typical application of Highway Planning and Construction funding, which supports highway-related improvements including pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure development across states. VDOT, as the State Department of Transportation, administers the project in accordance with federal requirements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization.
