Brooke road flood mitigation and resiliency project

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Stafford County, Virginia a $911,000 Project Grant on September 24, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support the Brooke Road Flood Mitigation and Resiliency Project. This award supports transportation infrastructure improvements designed to enhance road resilience and mitigate flood-related hazards along Brooke Road in Stafford County. The project is scheduled for completion by November 30, 2030, and falls within the scope of eligible activities under CFDA 20.205, which authorizes federal financial assistance for highway construction, preservation, safety improvements, and resilience-focused transportation infrastructure enhancements authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The funding will enable Stafford County to implement flood mitigation measures and infrastructure improvements that enhance the durability and climate resilience of local transportation assets. As a local government entity, Stafford County will serve as the primary project administrator responsible for project oversight, design, environmental compliance, and construction activities in coordination with FHWA and state transportation authorities. This award reflects the county's strategic prioritization of transportation infrastructure resilience and aligns with federal emphasis on natural hazard mitigation within the Highway Planning and Construction program.
