Conway, Florida – The City of Conway is set to receive a significant boost to its infrastructure as it has been awarded $3.62 million in Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds from Metroplan. This funding will support the construction of a much-needed bridge and pedestrian underpass at Tucker Creek, specifically along College Avenue, one of the city’s busiest corridors.
This project aims to alleviate congestion, improve traffic flow, and enhance pedestrian safety. The addition of the College Avenue bridge and underpass is expected to make it easier for vehicles and pedestrians alike to navigate the area. These improvements will not only address traffic concerns but also contribute to the city’s broader goal of promoting multi-modal transportation options and creating a more walkable environment for residents.
“This vital infrastructure project will improve traffic flow, increase pedestrian safety, and enhance connectivity in one of Conway’s busiest corridors,” said a city spokesperson. The new bridge and underpass will connect key parts of Conway, making it easier for both drivers and pedestrians to move through the area. This is especially important as Conway continues to grow and develop, with increased traffic and a rising demand for safer, more efficient routes.
The project aligns with the city’s ongoing commitment to fostering a community where transportation is accessible to everyone, whether they are driving, walking, or cycling. The bridge and underpass will provide a safe, accessible passage for pedestrians, which is particularly crucial in a city that is emphasizing walkability and sustainable infrastructure.
“Stay tuned for construction updates and timelines,” the spokesperson added, encouraging the community to stay informed as work begins on this transformative project. As construction progresses, updates will be provided to ensure that residents are aware of any disruptions or changes to their daily routines.
This $3.62 million award is a testament to Conway’s dedication to improving its infrastructure and making the city a safer, more connected place to live.
