E ST peter ST and N church ST sidewalks

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $330,239.94 to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) on February 18, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant supports infrastructure improvements on East St. Peter Street and North Church Street in Louisiana, with a revised project scope that encompasses the construction of sidewalks and installation of new water mains along these two corridors. The project aligns with FHWA's mandate to support highway-related improvements and multimodal transportation enhancements, which may include pedestrian infrastructure as eligible activities under the program.

As the primary awardee, the Louisiana DOTD will execute this project directly, leveraging its established capacity to deliver comprehensive transportation infrastructure initiatives across the state. The sidewalk construction component addresses pedestrian safety and accessibility improvements, while the water main installation supports critical utility infrastructure coordination within the project corridors. This award represents standard federal-aid highway program funding, whereby the state transportation department selects and administers projects within its apportioned federal allocations and in accordance with applicable environmental, design, and oversight requirements.
