Facilities for pedestrians & bicycles - iredell county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) a Formula Grant of $491,936 on June 26, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award funds the development of pedestrian and bicycle facilities in Iredell County, North Carolina, specifically the Mooresville-Bellingham Park Greenway extension project. The funded project will construct a greenway facility extending from Bellingham Park to Johnson Dairy Road, providing enhanced active transportation infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists in the region.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, FHWA provides federal financial assistance to state transportation departments for multimodal infrastructure improvements, including bicycle and pedestrian projects. This award exemplifies the program's support for alternative transportation network development, which qualifies for funding consideration as a categorical exception under federal-aid highway eligibility requirements. The project delivery will be administered by NCDOT, which receives formula-based federal highway funding to support transportation planning and construction initiatives that advance safety and infrastructure improvements throughout North Carolina.
