LA 15 & US 165-business: repairs

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Louisiana's Department of Transportation and Development $18.64 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 21, 2025, for roadway improvements at the LA 15 and US 165 Business intersection. The project encompasses signal improvements, pavement patching, mill and overlay asphalt work, and joint cement concrete (JCP) patching. The award obligates funds through a completion deadline of December 31, 2034, and reflects the state's administration of federal-aid highway funding to address transportation infrastructure preservation and safety enhancements on public roads in Louisiana.

This formula grant represents routine federal funding allocation under the FHWA's predominantly formula-based Highway Planning and Construction program, which distributes annual apportionments to states for highway preservation, reconstruction, and related improvements. The project delivers pavement rehabilitation and traffic safety infrastructure upgrades consistent with the program's emphasis on maintaining and improving the national highway system and supporting transportation alternatives to enhance public road functionality and safety.
