Orange market park and ride/parking lot improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) a formula grant of $278,725.00 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 30, 2025, for the Orange Market Park and Ride/Parking Lot Improvements project in Roanoke County. The project delivers comprehensive multimodal transportation infrastructure improvements, including construction of a curbed and paved park and ride parking lot with striping, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps, continental crosswalks, landscaping enhancements, bicycle racks, and an identification sign. The improvements are designed to enhance pedestrian access to the Hanging Rock Battlefield Trail and support multimodal transportation connectivity.

The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2030, and represents a standard formula grant allocation under FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program, which supports states in improving highways and related transportation infrastructure through statutory formula distributions. The funding will support the construction and improvement of park and ride facilities, a project category eligible for federal assistance under the program's pedestrian, bicycle, and multimodal transportation facility provisions.
