The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $617,852.71 in formula grant funding under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Ohio Department of Transportation on September 9, 2025, for resurfacing and accessibility improvements to the Wabash Cannonball Trail North Fork in Lucas County, Ohio. The project encompasses approximately 9.48 miles of trail surface extending from Fulton-Lucas Road to Jerome Road and includes pavement repairs, asphalt overlay placement, upgraded curb ramps at intersections, striping, and related work. The project is scheduled for completion by April 2, 2029.

The County of Lucas, through its Board of Developmental Disabilities, serves as the sub-awardee for this shared-use path project, which falls within the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities for pedestrian and bicycle facilities and transportation alternatives. This award demonstrates the FHWA's investment in recreational trail infrastructure and accessibility enhancements across Ohio's communities, leveraging formula-allocated federal highway funds distributed to the state for project implementation.
