The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) a Formula Grant totaling $501,089 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 16, 2025. The grant funds the replacement of a failing 24-foot concrete pipe culvert with a new corrugated metal culvert located at the 1200 block of Woodward Avenue, approximately 4,700 feet west of the Business US-131 Loop in Michigan. This infrastructure improvement project addresses critical transportation asset preservation and is scheduled for completion by November 6, 2031.

This culvert replacement project falls within the scope of eligible activities under CFDA 20.205, which supports highway construction, preservation, and improvement initiatives across the United States. As the state's primary transportation infrastructure management entity, MDOT administers the project in accordance with federal-aid highway program requirements, including applicable environmental reviews, design standards, and federal stewardship oversight agreements. The multi-year timeline reflects the comprehensive planning, environmental compliance, and construction phases typical of transportation infrastructure projects funded through this program.
