Install intelligent vehicle highway system on US 287.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $420,167.84 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on July 10, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The project involves the installation of an Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) on US 287 in Texas, specifically along the corridor from the southbound off-ramp at Riverside Drive to Village Creek Road. The deliverables include the deployment of wrong-way driving detection equipment, LED flashing warning signs, pavement markings, and communication infrastructure designed to enhance traffic safety and operational efficiency on this highway segment.

This award supports TxDOT's broader transportation safety and infrastructure improvement initiatives funded through the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides formula-based allocations to state departments of transportation for highway construction, preservation, and safety enhancements. The IVHS installation represents a safety-focused enhancement activity eligible under CFDA 20.205, contributing to the program's objective of improving highway infrastructure and reducing traffic incidents through advanced technological solutions.
