The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $256,728.00 to the Ohio Department of Transportation under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 7, 2025. This formula grant funds the removal and replacement of pavement on eastbound and westbound lanes of Tower Boulevard (LOR MR 4321 0.001) in Lorain County, Ohio, with work scheduled across two construction seasons. The project incorporates multi-modal transportation accommodations to enhance connectivity and accessibility for various modes of transportation.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, this award supports highway preservation and improvement activities that are typical of formula-funded projects administered by state departments of transportation. The FHWA allocates funds to states annually through statutory formulas, with State DOTs determining project selection based on state and local priorities. This project aligns with the program's core objective of assisting states in providing for the construction, preservation, and improvement of highways, with ODOT managing implementation and oversight in accordance with applicable federal requirements including environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act.
