SR 487, white pine county, baker road 1 mile south; MP WP 5.00 to MP WP 6.00

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $120,000.00 to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) on August 15, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The formula grant funds the construction of a multi-use path along the southbound side of State Route 487 in White Pine County, Nevada, spanning from mile post (MP) 5.00 to MP 6.00 near Baker Road, approximately one mile south of the primary intersection. This project supports NDOT's transportation infrastructure objectives by enhancing multimodal connectivity and pedestrian/bicycle facilities within the state's highway network.

NDOT has sub-awarded project implementation responsibilities to White Pine County, the local jurisdiction where the work will be performed. The multi-use path construction represents a typical eligible activity under CFDA 20.205, which authorizes federal-aid highway funds for pedestrian and bicycle facility development alongside highway preservation and improvement initiatives. Project completion timelines and specific construction specifications remain subject to FHWA oversight and the stewardship and oversight agreement established between FHWA and Nevada's state transportation department.
