Macarthur/mill plain (heights infrastructure)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $9.39 million to the Washington State Department of Transportation on November 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the MacArthur/Mill Plain (Heights Infrastructure) project. The project will install enhanced multimodal facilities and implement other improvements to enhance traffic safety in the project area, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2030. This award reflects FHWA's standard formula grant structure for state-administered transportation infrastructure projects that support highway safety, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, and multimodal transportation improvements on public roads.

The City of Vancouver serves as the sub-grantee responsible for implementation of the project scope within its jurisdiction. As a prime recipient of federal transportation grants, Vancouver will deliver the enhanced multimodal facilities and safety improvements as specified in the project agreement. This award aligns with the city's established transportation infrastructure capability, which includes prior FHWA funding for street reconstruction, adaptive traffic signal systems, and corridor safety improvement projects across the Vancouver street network.
