War SR 123 9.66

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) $134,060 under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG, CFDA 20.287) on August 20, 2025, for chip sealing improvements on a portion of State Route 123 in Warren County, Ohio. The project is scheduled for completion by May 2, 2029. Chip sealing is a cost-effective pavement preservation technique that extends the service life of roadway surfaces, and this award supports ODOT's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the condition of Federal-aid highways across the state.

The STBG program provides flexible formula-based funding to states and local jurisdictions for highway preservation and improvement projects without requiring competitive solicitation. As Ohio's primary transportation authority, ODOT administers substantial STBG allocations across the state, using the funding for diverse infrastructure improvements including pavement resurfacing, bridge rehabilitation, pedestrian infrastructure, and safety enhancements. This award reflects ODOT's continued implementation of highway maintenance priorities designed to preserve existing transportation assets and support safe, reliable travel across Ohio's roadway network.
