Rigney RD pavement preservation

Federal Grant Award Summary: Rigney Road Pavement Preservation Project

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $593,000 to the Washington State Department of Transportation on July 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205). The award funds the Rigney Road Pavement Preservation project, which encompasses pavement repair, grinding and hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay installation, pavement markings, and curb ramp upgrades in Washington. As a formula grant, these funds were allocated to Washington State based on statutory distribution mechanisms established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and are administered through the State's established transportation infrastructure improvement priorities.

The project represents a typical highway preservation activity supported under CFDA 20.205, focusing on maintaining and extending the service life of existing roadway infrastructure. Formula grants under this program provide States with predictable annual funding to address transportation infrastructure needs within their jurisdiction, with project selection and implementation determined by State DOTs in cooperation with local officials. The Rigney Road project directly supports the program's core objective of preservation and improvement of highways while maintaining compliance with applicable planning, design, and environmental requirements under the FHWA Stewardship and Oversight Agreement framework governing federally-assisted State-administered highway programs.
