Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $912,729.49 to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) on July 21, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support the replacement of the East Water Street Bridge over Rocky Ford Creek in North Baltimore, Ohio. The project scope includes full bridge replacement and reconstruction of the approaching roadway infrastructure in Wood County. ODOT serves as the prime recipient and program administrator for this formula grant allocation, which supports eligible transportation infrastructure improvements through statutory formula distributions to states for highway and bridge work.

The Village of North Baltimore functions as the sub-awardee, responsible for direct delivery of the bridge preservation and replacement services outlined in the project. Formula grants under CFDA 20.205 are distributed annually to states based on statutory formulas and are generally administered through state departments of transportation in coordination with local planning authorities and project sponsors. The East Water Street Bridge project represents a typical application of Highway Planning and Construction funding, which authorizes federal financial assistance for bridge replacement and reconstruction activities on public roads and structures to improve transportation safety and infrastructure condition across the state.
