Vantage highway shared use pathway

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Washington State Department of Transportation $325,000.00 on June 17, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to complete multi-modal improvements to the Vantage Highway. The project encompasses comprehensive roadway enhancements including widening and overlaying the existing pavement, installing a left turn lane, curb and gutter work, stormwater management facilities, sidewalk construction, a shared use pathway for bicycles and pedestrians, illumination infrastructure, and landscaping. The improvements will establish connectivity between existing sidewalk and pathway networks to enhance active transportation access and safety along the corridor.

This formula grant reflects the Federal Highway Administration's commitment to supporting state-administered highway infrastructure projects that serve multiple transportation modes. As a formula grant, the award provides predictable federal-aid highway funding based on established allocation formulas, enabling Washington State to advance transportation priorities within its jurisdiction while meeting the program's requirements for planning, design, environmental review, and engineering oversight.
