The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) a Formula Grant totaling $386,000.90 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 25, 2025. This award supports the design and construction of approximately 1.25 miles of multi-use trail as part of the New Haven Farmington Canal Greenway project, extending from Whitney Avenue to Long Wharf Pier in Connecticut.

The project delivers critical active transportation infrastructure by developing a multi-use pedestrian and bicycle trail that enhances regional connectivity and supports alternative transportation modes. As a state-administered Federal-aid highway project, CTDOT assumes primary responsibility for project oversight, design approval, and construction management in accordance with applicable environmental and planning requirements. This greenway development aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities supporting bicycle and pedestrian projects, which are exempted from standard Federal-Aid highway functional classification requirements.
