The Rhode Island Department of Transportation received a $1,475,516 project grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on August 10, 2021. The grant was provided under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund improvements to ferry dock pilings at State Pier 3 in the Port of Galilee in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Specifically, the grant will support the installation of 12 green heart piling clusters for two ferry dock ramps. This project is limited to work within the existing dock areas and aims to replace deteriorating pilings to maintain the functional and good repair state of the ferry boat docks. The sole sub-awardee is the Rhode Island DOT which will oversee delivery of the piling installation services funded by this award.
