Herndon county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $817,813.96 to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) on May 23, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support preliminary engineering (PE) for the Van Buren Street multi-modal improvements project in Herndon County, Virginia. This formula grant funds the planning and design phase of a multi-phased streetscape project extending from Spring Street to Herndon Parkway, which is intended to enhance multimodal connectivity between downtown Herndon and the future Herndon Metro Station.

The project encompasses transportation planning and engineering services for pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements as part of a comprehensive downtown revitalization initiative. VDOT, as the state transportation department administering the federal funds, executed this award with a sub-grant to the Town of Herndon, the local implementing partner responsible for project execution. The funding supports the critical preliminary engineering activities necessary to advance multimodal transportation infrastructure development and enhance transit-oriented connectivity in the region.
