Boscawen street pedestrian mall

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) a Formula Grant of $593,420.00 on July 16, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support the Boscawen Street Pedestrian Mall project in Winchester, Virginia. The project encompasses the construction and development of a pedestrian mall on Boscawen Street from Indian Alley to Kent Street (Route 50E), designed to replicate the existing pedestrian mall in downtown Winchester. The grant funding supports streetscaping improvements and construction activities associated with this multimodal transportation infrastructure initiative.

As the prime grantee, VDOT is administering the project with the City of Winchester serving as the sub-grantee responsible for implementation. This award reflects the Highway Planning and Construction program's authorization under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to fund diverse transportation infrastructure improvements, including pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The project represents a local priority selected through Virginia's transportation planning process and aligns with FHWA's emphasis on multimodal connectivity and pedestrian infrastructure enhancement within communities.
