PROVIDENCE – The Federal Highway Administration has awarded $1.6 million in grants to Rhode Island for a series of road and bridge projects as part of a nationwide distribution of funds which DOT applied for earlier this summer.
The grants include:
• $847,860 for projects related to transit-oriented development in the area of the train station at the InterLink facility at T.F. Green Airport.
• A waiver of the 20 percent state match for replacement of the East Shore Expressway Bridge in East Providence.
• $350,000 for replacement of three structurally deficient bridges in and near the Arcadia Management Area in Exeter.
• $250,260 for training to help disadvantaged business enterprises prepare to compete for federal highway contracts.
The largest grants for projects near the T.F. Green station are provided under the administration’s Transportation, Community and System Preservation Program.
The funds for the T.F. Green projects will be used to advance and implement the Warwick Station Development District Master Plan developed by the city of Warwick. The plan is expected to guide approximately 1.5 million square feet of mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly development. •
