Commons boulevard pathway - phase 2

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Delaware Department of Transportation $1,000,000 on August 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to develop the Commons Boulevard Pathway - Phase 2. This formula grant funds the construction of a 1-mile shared-use pathway extending along Commons Boulevard from Basin Road (State Route 141) to Old Airport Road in New Castle County, Delaware. The project delivers multimodal transportation infrastructure that enhances pedestrian and bicycle connectivity within the county's transportation network.

This award supports a critical pedestrian and bicycle facility improvement initiative eligible under the FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program, which authorizes funding for the construction and improvement of highways and related transportation infrastructure, including dedicated bicycle and pedestrian projects. As a state department of transportation administering federal highway funds, DelDOT serves as the prime awardee and will manage project development, design, and construction in coordination with applicable federal and local requirements, including environmental compliance and planning oversight by the FHWA division office in Delaware.
