Ohio Preps to Begin $2.1 Billion in Transportation Construction

The Ohio Department of Transportation’s 2016 construction plan includes more than 1,100 projects that will cost about $2.1 billion. In central Ohio alone, ODOT has plans for 86 projects totaling $354 million.

“All of these projects are building on each other to help position and keep this area a strong economic hub for central Ohio,” said William Murdock, executive director of the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission.

Work across the state will include repaving, lane widening, bridge building and interchange redesigns. A portion of the work is focused on Interstate 270 in Central Ohio.
