Norfolk - wrentham - walpole - shared - use path installation (metacomet greenway)

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) received a $1.55 million formula grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective September 10, 2025. The grant supports the design and installation of a shared-use path across Norfolk, Wrentham, and Walpole, Massachusetts, as part of the Metacomet Greenway project (TAP-003P(024)X). This multimodal transportation infrastructure initiative will enhance pedestrian and bicycle connectivity in the region, with project completion scheduled for December 31, 2027.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, FHWA provides federal assistance to states for highway and related transportation infrastructure improvements, including pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The shared-use path represents an eligible transportation alternative activity that expands non-motorized transportation options and supports regional connectivity objectives. MassDOT, as the state transportation authority responsible for administering federal highway funds in Massachusetts, will oversee project execution in accordance with applicable planning, design, environmental, and safety requirements established under 23 CFR and 2 CFR 200.
