Trumbull - construction of a sidewalk on the north side of CT 127 (white plains RD).

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) $125,000 on July 29, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to construct a pedestrian sidewalk facility on the north side of Connecticut Route 127 (White Plains Road) in Trumbull, Connecticut. The project delivers approximately 2,600 linear feet of new sidewalk infrastructure that will establish a critical pedestrian connection from the commuter parking lot opposite Shawnee Road to the Pequonnock River Trail at Twin Brooks Park, enhancing multimodal transportation accessibility and pedestrian safety in the area.

This formula grant allocation supports CTDOT's ongoing responsibility as Connecticut's state transportation authority to plan and execute highway and pedestrian infrastructure improvements utilizing federal funding distributed through established statutory formulas. The sidewalk construction project exemplifies the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities for pedestrian and bicycle facility development, which are among the priority infrastructure categories supported under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorization.
