The City of South Burlington is increasing transportation options to encourage walkable, sustainable downtown development in the City Center next to Interstate 89 (I-89) at Exit 14. The East-West Crossing Project - a bike walk bridge over I-89 - will provide those on foot and bicycle a safer and more comfortable crossing of I-89 and remove an obstacle to choosing to bike throughout the area for many people.
In November 2021, the City of South Burlington received notice that we had been awarded a RAISE grant from the U.S. Office of the Secretary of Transportation for $9.76 million dollars to build the project! This enables the City to move forward with design with support from the VTrans Municipal Assistance Services office and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
