Parallel to highway 29 between madison street in yountville and pratt avenue in ST. Helena design and construct a 10 mile long, class 1 multiuse path

This $3,840,506 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) is for the design and construction of a 10-mile long, Class 1 multi-use path parallel to Highway 29 between Yountville and St. Helena, California.

The primary awardee, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), will oversee the project to close a gap in the Napa Valley Vine Trail between existing segments. The project will involve constructing the multi-use path within the unincorporated county and city, starting at the intersection of Highway 29 and Madison Street in Yountville and following the alignment of the Napa Valley Wine Train tracks and Caltrans' Highway 29 right-of-way to Pratt Avenue in St. Helena. A sub-award to the County of Napa will support the county's involvement in the project.

This federal grant award aims to enhance transportation infrastructure, improve multimodal connectivity, and promote accessibility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists in the Napa Valley region.

Parallel to highway 29 between madison street in yountville and pratt avenue in ST. Helena design and construct a 10 mile long, class 1 multiuse path within the unincorporated county and city of ST.
