The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the City of Harrisonburg a $14,368,180 Raise Grant to convert one driving lane of US-11 (Liberty Street and Noll Drive) to a two-way separated bicycle facility between the intersections of Main Street and Noll Drive and Grattan Street and Liberty Street. The grant will also construct a shared-use path along Main Street between Grattan Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
The new bicycle and pedestrian facilities are anticipated to increase bicycling and walking in the City, supporting Harrisonburg’s environmental sustainability, mobility, community connectivity and economic development goals.
Harrisonburg is in the process of getting under contract with US DOT. All funds must be expended by 2032.
