The U.S. Department of Transportation will invest nearly $2 billion in Ohio through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to rebuild roads and bridges across the state.
The department unveiled its fiscal year 2023 plan detailing the allocation of federal resources for critical surface infrastructure projects.
As part of the plan, Ohio will receive $1.96 billion in the upcoming year from the Federal Highway Administration for improvements to roads, bridges, tunnels and other surface infrastructure.
The state will have flexibility in determining how the federal funding will be deployed.
“Our Bipartisan Jobs and Infrastructure Bill is doing exactly as promised–investing in Ohio’s future,” said Representative Marcy Kaptur. “These federal investments will create living wage construction jobs, increase safety and better connect workers and communities to regional job hubs.”
