Islandwide accessibility accommodation and drainage improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $140,039.47 to the Government of Guam - Department of Administration, Bureau of Statistics and Plans under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 20, 2025. This Project Grant funds islandwide accessibility accommodation and drainage improvements across multiple routes on Guam, including Route 1, Route 8, Route 14 (San Vitores Road), Route 16, and Route 30.

The project deliverables include reconstruction or modification of curb ramps, sidewalks, and driveways to improve pedestrian access along designated corridors. Additional services encompass minor widening of sidewalks, restriping of lane lines, and minor drainage improvements, with particular focus on Route 1 between Route 4 and Route 8. These improvements are designed to enhance accessibility compliance and address infrastructure deficiencies across Guam's transportation network, consistent with FHWA's mandate to support highway preservation and safety enhancements through federal-aid highway funding mechanisms.
