Willow bend trail

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) a Formula Grant of $550,898.66 on June 12, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to enhance multimodal transportation infrastructure in Colorado. The award funds the Willow Bend Trail project, which involves constructing and improving a bicycle and pedestrian trail extending from 920 S Bosie Avenue to 2825 E 1st Street. This project represents a typical application of Highway Planning and Construction formula funding, which supports the development and improvement of transportation infrastructure across states, with particular emphasis on bicycle and pedestrian projects that fall within eligible activity categories.

The trail improvement project advances CDOT's mandate to develop comprehensive multimodal transportation networks across the state. As a Formula Grant under the Federal-aid Highway Program authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), this award demonstrates FHWA's commitment to supporting active transportation infrastructure that enhances connectivity and safety for non-motorized users. CDOT, as the state transportation authority and prime awardee, will administer the project in accordance with applicable federal requirements, including environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act and compliance with federal transportation regulations.
