CUY IR 077 11.11 replace

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation $7.21 million through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on April 9, 2025, to replace the CSX Railroad bridge over Interstate Route 77 located south of Grant Avenue in Cuyahoga Heights, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. This Formula Grant supports critical transportation infrastructure preservation under the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides annual funding to state departments of transportation for highway and bridge projects prioritized at the state and local level.

The funded project delivers bridge replacement services that enhance transportation safety and infrastructure reliability on a key Ohio transportation corridor. Bridge replacement projects of this nature typically involve design, environmental review, construction, and project administration conducted in accordance with applicable federal regulations and stewardship agreements between FHWA and the state. As the primary state transportation authority and pass-through entity for federal highway funding, ODOT directly administers this project to address critical infrastructure needs across Ohio's 88 counties.
