The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Michigan Department of Transportation $119,000 through a Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 8, 2025. The award funds infrastructure improvements at the Lake State Railway in Pinconning, Bay County, Michigan, specifically the removal of track and restoration of pavement at three spur track crossings located at 3rd/Manitou Street, 2nd Street, and Van Etten Road.

This project represents a typical application of the Highway Planning and Construction program, which provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for highway-related infrastructure preservation and improvement activities. The work addresses critical transportation safety and infrastructure maintenance needs through pavement restoration at rail-highway grade crossings, a recognized eligible activity under the federal-aid highway program authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
