HAM grooms road connector

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $3.8 million to the Ohio Department of Transportation on November 25, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to construct a new roadway connector linking Grooms Road to Reed Hartman Highway in Ohio. The project, designated the Ham Grooms Road Connector, represents a highway infrastructure improvement project funded through the federal-aid highway program, which provides formula-based grants to states for construction, preservation, and improvement of highways and related infrastructure on public roads. The project is scheduled for completion by November 25, 2029.

As the prime awardee, the Ohio Department of Transportation is administering the project with a sub-award to the City of Blue Ash, a local municipality in the Cincinnati area, for implementation of the new roadway construction. The Highway Planning and Construction program supports eligible highway projects including roadway reconstruction, widening, and related infrastructure improvements on public roads, provided they meet applicable planning, design, environmental clearance, and safety requirements outlined in the program's authorization under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
