The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $510,251.29 to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) on September 9, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to resurface approximately 9.48 miles of the Wabash Cannonball Trail North Fork in Lucas County, Ohio. The project, scheduled for completion by April 2, 2029, encompasses pavement repairs, curb ramp upgrades at intersections, asphalt overlay placement, striping, and related work extending from Fulton-Lucas Road to Jerome Road. This transportation alternatives project supports multimodal infrastructure improvements consistent with the FHWA's statutory formula allocation framework established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

ODOT is executing this work as the primary awardee with a sub-award to the County of Lucas for shared use path development. The project represents a typical application of Highway Planning and Construction funding for trail resurfacing and pedestrian accessibility enhancements, which are eligible activities under CFDA 20.205 and support broader state and local transportation planning priorities in Ohio.
