HAM CR 266 16.31 kemper RD

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $263,117.00 to the Ohio Department of Transportation on May 1, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant supports the installation of pedestrian and accessibility infrastructure on a portion of Kemper Road in Symmes Township, Hamilton County, Ohio. The project deliverables include sidewalk construction, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps, and a mid-block crosswalk equipped with a Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility along the roadway corridor.

This award exemplifies the Highway Planning and Construction program's focus on transportation safety improvements and multimodal network enhancements. The ODOT, acting as the prime awardee and state administering agency, is responsible for project oversight and implementation. The project aligns with the program's eligible activities for bicycle and pedestrian safety enhancements, which are exempt from certain functional classification restrictions under federal aid highway requirements, thereby supporting community-level transportation improvements at the local level.
