Blue heron trail. Construct blue heron trail phase III from royal troon drive to NC 801, davie county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $152,315.00 to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on August 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the Blue Heron Trail Phase III construction project. This project delivers the construction of a multi-use trail extension along US Highway 158 in Davie County, extending from Royal Troon Drive to North Carolina Highway 801. The trail infrastructure connects residential areas to commercial and retail centers while establishing connectivity to existing sidewalk infrastructure in Bermuda Run.

The Town of Bermuda Run serves as the sub-grantee, receiving pass-through funding from NCDOT to execute the trail construction work. As a pedestrian and bicycle facility project, this initiative aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities for multimodal transportation network development and represents a continuation of the Blue Heron Phase I multi-use path infrastructure. The project falls within the program's scope for bicycle and pedestrian projects, which are eligible for federal-aid funding even when located on functionally classified lower-tier roadways.
