The USDOT has released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects - Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Discretionary Grants for fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2018. (https://www.transportation.gov/buildamerica/infragrants). FY 2017 has $850 million available and FY 2018 $900 million available.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in partnership with the City of Jacksonville, Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), and Jacksonville Transportation Authority, is submitting an application to support the Talleyrand Connector Project in Jacksonville, Florida. The Talleyrand Connector proposes to remove and reconfigure the existing Hart Expressway (National Highway System facility) elevated ramp from A. Philip Randolph Boulevard to Festival Park Avenue, providing; 1) new freight access to the Talleyrand Port District; 2) freight and vehicle congestion relief along multiple points of the Hart Expressway; and 3) improved connectivity to eastern downtown Jacksonville. The Talleyrand Connector will remove obstacles to goods movement in northeast Florida’s international gateway to trade.
The INFRA grant application has been submitted to USDOT through the Grants.gov system. The following supporting material has been posted on this website for reference purposes:
