Federal Grant Award Summary

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) received a $500,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective September 18, 2025, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2027. This award funds the design phase only for the Worcester Intersection Improvement project at Lake Avenue and Bigelow Davis Parkway (formerly Hamilton Street) in Massachusetts. The project deliverable consists of comprehensive engineering design services necessary to advance this intersection improvement initiative toward future construction implementation.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to states for highway and transportation infrastructure improvements, including planning, preliminary engineering, and design services as eligible activities. As a state-administered program, MassDOT leverages federal formula funding allocations to support transportation infrastructure development prioritized through the state's transportation planning processes. The design-phase funding reflects standard FHWA practice of supporting preliminary project development activities that establish technical specifications and construction readiness for infrastructure improvements prior to construction phase implementation.
