Wilmington, along east main ST. (VT9); peng, rowa, new sidewalk, crosswalks and retaining walls

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $575,605 to the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) on June 20, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support pedestrian and traffic safety infrastructure improvements in Wilmington, Vermont. This Formula Grant funds the construction of new sidewalks, crosswalks, and retaining walls along East Main Street (VT9) within the town. These enhancements represent typical Highway Planning and Construction program activities, which prioritize safety improvements and infrastructure preservation on public roads.

The project falls within the scope of bicycle and pedestrian improvement activities eligible under the Federal-aid Highway Program, which are among the exception categories that allow federal funding on roads functionally classified as minor rural collectors and local roads. As the state's primary transportation authority, VTrans is responsible for administering federal highway funding and managing project oversight in accordance with Federal Highway Administration requirements and applicable federal regulations.
