Citywide city of birmingham - citywide

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $168,451.43 to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) on May 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support a citywide streetlight modernization project in Birmingham, Michigan. The project involves the replacement of all mercury vapor streetlights with light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures along roadways throughout the City of Birmingham. This infrastructure improvement aligns with the program's stated eligibility for safety enhancements and transportation infrastructure improvements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization.

MDOT administered the award as the primary grant recipient, with the City of Birmingham designated as the sub-grantee responsible for direct project implementation. The LED streetlight conversion represents a common type of highway safety and efficiency project supported under the Highway Planning and Construction program, contributing to improved roadway visibility and reduced energy consumption for municipal transportation infrastructure.
