FRA-33-24.49

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $3.75 million to the Ohio Department of Transportation under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 22, 2025, to widen U.S. Route 33 from two to three lanes in each direction along a segment extending from Interstate 270 to Gender Road (State Route 674) in Franklin County, Ohio. This infrastructure improvement project represents a direct investment in highway capacity enhancement and is consistent with the program's authorization under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to support construction, preservation, and improvement of highways and related transportation infrastructure.

The project delivers expanded roadway capacity through highway reconstruction and widening activities on a major regional corridor. As the state administering agency for Federal-aid highway funds in Ohio, the Ohio Department of Transportation will oversee project design, environmental compliance, and construction execution in accordance with Federal Highway Administration oversight requirements and applicable federal regulations. The initiative supports improved traffic flow and safety on a critical transportation link serving the Columbus metropolitan area.
