The Federal Highway Administration awarded the New Jersey Department of Transportation $19,753,066.27 on September 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to construct Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility improvements across multiple municipalities in Monmouth and Ocean counties, New Jersey.

The project, ADA Central Contract 1, encompasses construction of ADA-compliant infrastructure across various routes in the City of Long Branch, townships of Freehold, Howell, Neptune, Ocean and Wall, and the boroughs of Avon by the Sea, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Deal, Eatontown, Oceanport, Sea Girt, Spring Lake Heights, Tuckerton, and West Long Branch. Performance spans these locations across Monmouth and Ocean counties, with work scheduled through April 19, 2030.

The award is a formula grant obligating funds under the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides annual apportionments to states for highway construction, preservation, and improvement. The New Jersey DOT, as the state transportation department, administers the project in accordance with federal planning and design requirements, including environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act. State DOTs assume FHWA oversight responsibilities for design and construction, subject to FHWA division office approval of the project agreement before work commences.
