Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $188,086.00 to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on July 7, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award funds an overlay resurfacing project on US Route 85 (Santa Fe Drive) in Colorado, extending from Florida Avenue to Interstate 25. The project involves the application of an asphalt or similar overlay surface to the existing roadway, which enhances pavement condition, extends roadway lifespan, and maintains safe driving conditions on this important state corridor.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for a comprehensive range of highway-related projects, including construction, preservation, and improvement activities. CDOT, as the state's primary transportation authority, administers federal highway funds allocated through statutory formulas to support Colorado's transportation infrastructure needs. This particular project reflects the program's emphasis on highway preservation and maintenance activities that sustain the state's existing roadway network.
