RIC SR 0314 01.70

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $650,000 through a Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) on July 8, 2025. The funding supports the conversion of a two-way stop-controlled intersection into a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of State Route 314 and Millsboro Road (County Road 48) in Richland County, Ohio. This intersection improvement project represents a traffic calming and safety enhancement measure designed to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety while reducing traffic congestion at this rural intersection.

As a pass-through entity for federal highway funding, ODOT administers this project in accordance with FHWA requirements and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization. The roundabout conversion represents a typical Highway Planning and Construction program activity, falling within the broader category of intersection improvements and safety enhancements that ODOT regularly implements across Ohio's 88 counties. The project will be subject to standard FHWA oversight, environmental review compliance, and design and construction standards as specified in applicable federal regulations.
