SR 1501 (junny road); north willow ST; west lillington ST; construct sidewalk extensions

On August 8, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $526,380 in formula grant funding under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) for pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements in Harnett County. The grant supports the construction of sidewalk extensions with curb and gutter along three roadway segments: the east side of Junny Road from Glen Meadow Drive to North Broad Street, the east side of North Willow Street from Junny Road to Julia Street, and the south side of West Lillington Street from North Carolina 210 to South Park Street.

NCDOT sub-awarded the funding to the Town of Angier to serve as the implementing agency for the sidewalk construction project. The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to states and local governments for highway construction, preservation, and improvement activities, including multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian facilities. This sidewalk extension project aligns with the program's eligible activities supporting enhanced pedestrian infrastructure and transportation safety within the community.
