This $1,832,848.75 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) supports a highway infrastructure improvement project in Franklin County, Ohio. The grant funds a major widening of State Route 16 (East Broad Street) from Interstate 270 to Outerbelt Street, expanding the roadway from five to seven lanes and making intersection improvements. The project involves signal modifications at three locations, adding and extending turn lanes at various intersections, constructing a shared-use path on one side and a sidewalk on the other, and median additions. The City of Columbus' Transportation Division received a $693,375 sub-grant under this award to fund the addition of through lanes as part of this infrastructure upgrade.
