MRG SR 78 10.96

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $710,700.00 to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) on May 6, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support slope stabilization with drilled shafts in Morgan County, Ohio. This formula grant funds a critical infrastructure preservation project designed to address geotechnical challenges and enhance roadway safety through specialized soil stabilization engineering techniques. Slope stabilization projects of this nature are eligible activities under the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides federal financial assistance to state transportation departments for highway preservation and improvement initiatives.

As a pass-through entity for federal highway grants, ODOT will administer the project in accordance with the stewardship and oversight framework established with the FHWA. The project is subject to applicable environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act and must comply with federal procurement and grant management standards outlined in 23 CFR, 49 CFR, and 2 CFR 200. The state transportation department will maintain project records and coordinate with the FHWA division office located in Ohio to ensure compliance with project design, construction, and oversight requirements prior to commencing work.
