The U.S. Department of Transportation announced the list of recipients of nearly $500 million in discretionary grant funding for road, transit, maritime and rail projects through the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program.

The awards included a $7 million project in Georgetown, DE.

“TIGER grants are targeted investments for our local communities that will increase safety, create jobs and modernize our country’s infrastructure,” said Secretary Elaine L. Chao.

More than 64 percent of this round of TIGER funding was awarded to rural projects.

The Delaware project allocated $7 million for the Georgetown East Gateway. The Delaware Department of Transportation project will construct multi-modal improvements at the intersection of US 9, Airport Road and Sandhill Road including roadway realignment, additional turn lanes, signal improvements, pavement resurfacing, bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, transit stops, and lighting.
