Deckers creek rail trail restoration

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $260,000 to the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) on June 5, 2025, under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) to fund the Deckers Creek Rail Trail restoration project in Monongalia County, West Virginia. The project encompasses rail trail resurfacing and construction activities designed to maintain and rehabilitate the existing recreational trail infrastructure.

This formula grant supports trail maintenance and restoration activities authorized under the Recreational Trails Program, which provides states with federal funding to develop and maintain recreational trails for both motorized and non-motorized uses. The Deckers Creek project represents WVDOH's execution of eligible trail restoration work, consistent with the program's permissible uses for maintenance and rehabilitation of existing trails. WVDOH, a state transportation agency with extensive experience administering FHWA grants, serves as the direct recipient and implementing entity responsible for project delivery and compliance with applicable federal requirements.
