Portland, york street, high street sidewalks

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $125,000 to the Maine Department of Transportation on July 7, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund multimodal transportation improvements in Portland, Maine. The project encompasses sidewalk enhancements and multimodal improvements along York Street and High Street, with work beginning at State Street and extending north 0.16 miles to High Street, and from Commercial Street extending northwest 0.05 miles to York Street. This formula grant supports the agency's broader infrastructure development and preservation mission across Maine's transportation network.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance for a range of eligible highway-related activities, including multimodal transportation network improvements and pedestrian infrastructure enhancements. These Portland sidewalk improvements align with the program's focus on transportation safety and accessibility while supporting the FHWA's priority of developing comprehensive transportation planning and active transportation network development across the nation.
