ADA accessibility improvements, clinton, franklin, jefferson, lewis, and ST. Lawrence counties

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the New York State Department of Transportation a formula grant totaling $1,967,222 on July 3, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility improvements on federal-aid eligible highways. The project encompasses ADA accessibility enhancements across five counties in upstate New York: Clinton, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties. The award, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2034, supports the state's efforts to improve accessibility infrastructure and ensure compliance with federal accessibility standards on designated highway corridors.

Under this formula grant, the New York Department of Transportation will deliver accessibility improvements designed to enhance infrastructure compliance for individuals with disabilities on targeted federal-aid eligible highway segments. These improvements represent part of the broader Highway Planning and Construction program's mandate to support highway preservation and safety enhancements, with ADA accessibility projects qualifying as eligible activities under the federal program. The extended project timeline through 2034 allows for phased implementation across the multi-county service area.
