Somers cove marina RT2314 ADA improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,088,247 to the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration on September 2, 2025, under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) for improvements to Somers Cove Marina in Maryland. The funding supports the replacement of a boat ramp and two piers, along with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility improvements to multiple piers and slips at the marina facility. The project is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2029.

As a formula grant administered by FHWA, the award provides formula-based funding designed to develop, maintain, and rehabilitate recreational trail and trail-related facilities for both motorized and non-motorized users. The Somers Cove Marina project represents an eligible use under the program through the development and rehabilitation of trailside and trailhead facilities, with particular emphasis on accessibility enhancements that support safe and equitable access to recreational boating infrastructure. This funding mechanism aligns with the program's broader objective of enhancing recreational access while promoting environmental stewardship and user safety.
