Gardner- ELM street resurfacing and sidewalk improvements (SRTS)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) a Formula Grant totaling $3,457,028.56 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on March 25, 2025. This award funds the Gardner Elm Street Resurfacing and Sidewalk Improvements project (TAP-003S(670)X), which encompasses roadway resurfacing and pedestrian infrastructure enhancements in Gardner, Massachusetts. The Highway Planning and Construction program supports comprehensive transportation infrastructure development, preservation, and improvement across the United States, including highway construction, bridge rehabilitation, roadway resurfacing, safety enhancements, and multimodal transportation network improvements.

As a state-administered program, the FHWA formula grant provides MassDOT with federal financial assistance to deliver critical transportation infrastructure improvements that enhance safety and accessibility for the traveling public. The project delivers tangible products through street resurfacing work and sidewalk improvements that support Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) initiatives, contributing to MassDOT's broader mission of maintaining and improving the Commonwealth's transportation network. This award reflects the state's demonstrated capacity to execute federally funded highway infrastructure projects and its continued eligibility for formula-based federal transportation funding.
