NTEC > Crossing the Missouri River was once a major challenge for travelers. In Washburn, crossing was accomplished by ferry until 1962 on the Sioux Ferry boat, built by Oscar Anderson. From 1952 onwards, the ferry transported people, cars, and horses from bank to bank. The ferry has been preserved with $60,000 in TE funds in 2006 and is now on display in Riverside Park in Washburn, on the Sakakawea Scenic Byway. This photo shows the ferry during the restoration process. There are many ways in which Transportation Enhancement funds can partner with scenic byways programs through any of the 12 categories of TE activities. Category 4, scenic or historic highway programs, includes construction of tourist and welcome center facilities, turnouts, overlooks, visitor centers, designation signs, and markers/interpretive panels. There are 10 state scenic byways in North Dakota, two of which have also been designated as National Scenic Byways. TE funds have contributed to the development of the scenic byways program in North Dakota in a variety of ways.

NTEC > An outfall on Turkey Branch, post-restoration. The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) received a $2 million TE grant in 2000 to construct channel restoration and habitat improvements in Rock Creek Park. In an effort to restore and protect the Rock Creek watershed, which ultimately drains to the Chesapeake Bay, this project added modern stormwater controls to 730 acres to the Turkey Branch Stream subwatershed (approx. 30% of the drainage area). The project including work along 12,000 feet of the Turkey Branch Stream, along 13,400 feet of the Sycamore Creek, and along Joseph's Branch Stream. The Rock Creek watershed drains approximately 60 square miles. You can learn more about the DEP's work in this watershed by visiting their website at: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/deptmpl.asp?url=/content/dep/restoration/home.asp
NTEC > The Forty Steps. The Forty Steps – a stone staircase that leads to down to a balcony over the sea about two-thirds down the side of the cliff. During the Gilded Age, the steps were a gathering place for the servants and workers from the nearby mansions. The 3.5-mile Cliff Walk is considered one of Newport, Rhode Island's top attractions. The scenic walkway, which runs from First Beach to Bailey's Beach, is bordered by the Rhode Island Sound and Atlantic Ocean on one side, and many of the famous seaside Newport Mansions on the other. In 1975, the Cliff Walk was designated as a National Recreation Trail. Local historians believe that the first paths along the Cliff Walk shore line were forged by deer, then by the Narragansett Indians, and later by colonial setters. Public use of the Cliff Walk was protected under the "Fisherman's Rights" clause in the Colonial Charter of King Charles II, and later in the Rhode Island Constitution which grants the public the "privileges of the shore." Efforts to establish the Cliff Walk began in about 1880, when a number of owners of adjacent property joined together to make improvements. Over time the property owners and the public made improvements to the path piece by piece. Portions of the Cliff Walk were badly damaged by hurricanes in 1938 and 1954. Between 1970 and 1976, the U.S Army Corps of Engineers made basic repairs to the path. Improvements continued in the early 1980s, and in 1994 TE funds were awarded (under Category 1) for further restoration that included new retaining walls to prevent erosion along the cliffs and repairs to areas damaged by Hurricane Bob in 1991. Federal Award: $1,200,000; Local Match: $300,000; Total: $1,500,000 For more information on the Cliff Walk visit http://www.cliffwalk.com/
