US50 lighting

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $167,858.75 to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on June 25, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant supports street lighting infrastructure improvements for US Route 50 in Canon City, Colorado. The project directly advances the FHWA's mandate to improve highway safety and infrastructure quality through targeted investments in transportation facility enhancements.

As a formula grant under the federal-aid highway program, this award reflects CDOT's allocation of congressionally authorized funds for highway-related projects meeting federal eligibility and environmental compliance requirements. The street lighting project addresses public safety and visibility on a major corridor, consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's focus on highway safety activities and infrastructure preservation. CDOT, as the state transportation authority, administers the project in accordance with applicable federal regulations and stewardship agreements with FHWA.
