Safety - harnett county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $235,000 to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on June 25, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant supports the installation of rumble stripes with pavement markings and pavement markers on State Route 1115 (Buffalo Lake Road) in Harnett County, North Carolina, spanning from NC 27 to NC 87. The project is classified as a highway safety enhancement activity designed to improve road safety through auditory and tactile warning systems that alert drivers to lane departures.

The Safety-Harnett County project represents a typical application of Highway Planning and Construction funding for safety infrastructure improvements on public roads. As a state-administered federal-aid highway program, NCDOT identified this safety project within its planning priorities and secured federal funding through FHWA's formula allocation mechanisms. Rumble strip installations are eligible activities under CFDA 20.205 and serve as cost-effective safety interventions to reduce accidents and improve driver awareness on state highway corridors.
