Silt i-70 PED bike overpass

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) a Formula Grant of $1,130,000 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 25, 2025. This award funds the design phase of a pedestrian and bicycle overpass project at Interstate 70 Exit 96 near Silt, Colorado. The project delivers multimodal transportation infrastructure that enhances active transportation network connectivity and improves pedestrian and cyclist safety by providing grade-separated crossing of the interstate corridor.

This award aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's broad scope of eligible activities, which includes bicycle and pedestrian projects as exceptions to standard federal-aid highway eligibility requirements. CDOT, as the state's primary transportation authority, administers the project in accordance with federal planning, design, environmental, and safety requirements established under 23 CFR and 49 CFR. Upon FHWA division office approval of the project agreement, design work will proceed under CDOT's oversight, with documentation retained per federal records management standards.
