Jahnke road-2 lane improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $1,504,761.31 to the Virginia Department of Transportation on May 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund roadway improvements on Jahnke Road in Richmond, Virginia. The project encompasses two-lane improvements extending from Blakemore Road to Forest Hill Avenue and represents a standard infrastructure modernization initiative within the federal highway system. As a Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program, this award provides federal financial assistance to support the State's transportation infrastructure development priorities as determined through the Commonwealth's established funding allocation mechanisms.

The Virginia Department of Transportation has passed the funding through to the City of Richmond as the sub-grantee responsible for project implementation and execution. The two-lane improvement project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities, which support roadway preservation, safety enhancements, and general highway infrastructure improvements on public roads. The project is subject to standard FHWA oversight requirements, including environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act, design and construction oversight, and state-administered project management protocols consistent with the federal-aid highway program framework.
