The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)announced that it will move up by as much as a decade thestart dates for five major highway projects due to funds madeavailable by improved in-house efficiencies and an unex-pected bump in federal funds. “The sooner we can move forward with needed highway

projects the sooner those projects can start helping boostOhio’s economy and create jobs. Community leaders aregood about sharing with us the importance of specific newroad or bridge projects and these actions today demonstratethat we’re listening,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray.

“Governor Kasich has pushed us to find new ways to getthese projects built, because he knows that this is a way toput Ohioans back to work and help keep motorists to be safeon our roadways. We’re not giving up and will continue towork to find new revenue to put towards vital transportationimprovements.”Construction dates for all five projects were delayed more

than a decade when ODOT announced this past January a$1.6 billion budget hole that put the brakes on the construc-tion on some of the state’s largest, most complex transporta-tion projects.

The projects moving forward are:

Cuyahoga CountyThe next phase of the Lakefront West project will extend

and relocate West 73rd Street and construct a new bridgeunder the Norfolk Southern Railroad to access the WestShoreway and Edgewater Park. In order to get shovels intothe ground next year, ODOT is investing $12 million in theproject combined with $7 million from the city of Clevelandand $15 million from the Northeast Ohio AreawideCoordinating Agency (NOACA).

Franklin County The initial phase of the I-270 project will include the con-

struction of two new express lanes from I-270 to U.S. Route23 north. The lanes will actually go under the existing U.S.Route 23 and reemerge just north of the Franklin Countyline, bypassing traffic lights, reducing congestion andimproving motorist safety.

Franklin County This downtown project will include the construction of a

new bridge from I-70 on Mound Street and a second newbridge over I-70 on 18th Street. Construction for both proj-ects could begin as soon as next summer.

Clermont County This project is a phase of the Eastern Corridor in south-

west Ohio. It will include the reconstruction of an inter-change at I-275 and U.S. 32 to accommodate traffic increas-es and help reduce congestion.

Hamilton County This project will construct phase six of the Mill Creek

Expressway and includes the replacement and reconstruc-tion of a railroad bridge located south of SR 562 on I-75.In January, ODOT announced a $1.6 billion transportation

funding crisis that resulted in pushing back by decades someof the state’s largest construction projects. But by June, theagency was able to redirect more than $400 million throughimproved department efficiency, workforce and vehicle fleetreductions, higher than projected gas tax receipts, the elimi-nation of federal earmarks and savings from a mild winter.That money was used to help plug a portion of the budgethole and meant that future delays for some construction proj-ects were significantly reduced or eliminated. ODOT continues to explore options to generate addition-

al revenue, including public-private partnerships and lever-aging state-owned assets like rest areas and the OhioTurnpike.
