The City of Madison was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration's Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 20.940) on October 28, 2024. The grant will support planning and feasibility efforts for the Perry Street Overpass Project, which aims to reconnect Perry Street over the Beltline Highway (US Highways 12/14/18/151). This project is a key component of the city's strategy to revitalize South Madison's neighborhoods and address longstanding mobility needs by providing vehicle, bus, pedestrian, and cyclist access to businesses south of the highway. The proposed overpass will connect communities of color north of the Beltline Highway with employment opportunities and services to the south. The project's expected completion date is September 30, 2026.

The city of madison seeks reconnecting communities and neighborhoods funding to support planning and feasibility efforts for the perry street overpass project, a key component of the citys strategy to revitalize south madisons neighborhoods and address longstanding mobility needs.
