The Town of Berlin has secured a $1.2 million grant from the federal government to study a possible connecting the two sides of town separated by Route 113.
According to a press release from U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin, the federal dollars, secured through the Inflation Reduction Act, will “support the planning and design of a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over Route 113 in Berlin, as well as other sidewalk and street crossing improvements, to better connect both sides of the Town, which is currently split by the roadway.”
The funding was awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation and provided through the Neighborhood Access and Equity Grant Program, which the lawmakers worked to create and fund through the Inflation Reduction Act. Last fall, the senators wrote to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in support of the federal funding.
