Springfield, replace pedestrian bridge

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $100,000 to the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) on June 6, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This funding supports the replacement of a pedestrian bridge over the Black River at the Springfield Shopping Plaza in Springfield, Vermont. The project addresses critical infrastructure needs by enhancing pedestrian safety and accessibility through bridge rehabilitation activities in accordance with the Federal-aid Highway Program framework established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

The Vermont Agency of Transportation, as the state's primary administrator of federal transportation funding, will manage the design, permitting, and construction of the replacement pedestrian bridge. The project delivery will comply with applicable environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and oversight requirements established through FHWA's Stewardship and Oversight Agreement with Vermont. As a formula grant allocation, this funding represents Vermont's apportioned share of federal highway resources dedicated to supporting local infrastructure priorities that enhance transportation safety and mobility within the state.
