Highway safety improvement program PR-8 from KM. 0.00 to KM. 4.60, municipalities of SAN juan and carolina

This $1,470,258.80 Project Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program will fund the Highway Safety Improvement Program project on Puerto Rico Highway PR-8 from kilometer 0.00 to kilometer 4.60, covering the municipalities of San Juan and Carolina. The project aims to enhance highway safety and infrastructure along this critical transportation corridor. Key activities to be undertaken include highway reconstruction, bridge rehabilitation, installation of noise barriers, lighting system upgrades, and implementation of traffic control systems. The Puerto Rico Highway & Transportation Authority, a government entity responsible for Puerto Rico's highway system and public transit, will execute this project, potentially issuing sub-awards to municipalities and contractors for project implementation. This grant supports the Authority's broader mission to develop, repair, and modernize Puerto Rico's transportation infrastructure, particularly in the aftermath of recent hurricanes that have impacted the island's transportation networks.
