District 1; signing and pavement marking improvements at unsignalized municipally owned and maintained roadway intersections

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) $779,742.15 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 12, 2025. This formula grant supports signing and pavement marking improvements at unsignalized, municipally owned and maintained roadway intersections throughout Connecticut's District 1. The project addresses transportation safety enhancements by upgrading traffic control infrastructure—specifically signage and pavement markings—at intersections lacking traffic signal systems to improve visibility and driver guidance at these potentially hazardous locations.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for highway-related projects, including safety enhancements such as signage and marking installations. As the prime awardee, CTDOT will administer the project in accordance with FHWA requirements and established stewardship oversight agreements. The project falls within eligible highway safety activities under the program, which permits funding for improvements on public roads and includes exceptions for safety-focused initiatives regardless of functional classification.
