The Missouri Department of Transportation received a Formula Grant award of $271,995.10 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 9, 2025. This award funds pavement resurfacing work on Missouri Route 116 East in Clinton County, specifically addressing the roadway segment extending from Route 59 near Rushville to Route 169. The project represents a standard infrastructure preservation activity eligible under the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides annual formula-based funding to state departments of transportation for highway construction, reconstruction, and improvement initiatives.

As a formula grant distributed through established federal funding allocations, this award supports critical transportation infrastructure maintenance that enhances roadway safety and extends pavement service life. The project execution will be administered by MoDOT in accordance with federal oversight requirements, including compliance with applicable environmental review standards and design approval processes overseen by the FHWA division office in Missouri. This funding exemplifies the routine application of highway preservation dollars to state-priority transportation projects within the broader Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorization framework.
