OR141 (SW hall blvd): fanno creek trail - SW omara ST

The Federal Highway Administration awarded $550,000 through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Oregon Department of Transportation on August 4, 2025, for design and construction improvements to the Fanno Creek Trail crossing at SW Hall Boulevard in Oregon. The project encompasses two primary deliverables: design and upgrade of a roadway trail crossing at Fanno Creek, and construction of a new enhanced roadway crossing at SW Omara Street. These improvements align with the program's eligible activities supporting multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

As a formula grant distributed under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this award represents federal investment in Oregon's transportation infrastructure through the state-administered Federal-aid Highway Program. The project falls within the scope of bicycle and pedestrian projects that are exempt from certain functional classification restrictions, allowing funding on local roads and collectors. ODOT, as the state transportation department administering the award, is responsible for project oversight, design approval, environmental compliance, and construction management in accordance with applicable federal requirements and state transportation planning priorities.
