Gov. DeWine Invests $137.5M Investment in Roadway Safety
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Pamela Boratyn, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) director, announced July 3, 2025, $137.5 million in funding for 55 new traffic safety projects in 41 counties across the state.
The funding awards are part of Ohio’s Highway Safety Improvement Program, which invests more per capita on roadway safety than any other state.
“Ensuring the safety of Ohio's roadways is always one of our top priorities,” said DeWine. “Whether you’re driving or walking, we want every Ohioan to get where they’re going safely.”
Of the funded projects, 22 will directly improve pedestrian safety through the construction of sidewalks, shared use paths, or improvements to crosswalks. Last year, 125 pedestrians were killed in Ohio. So far this year, there have been 50 pedestrians killed. Five of the projects will target roadway departure crashes
curves. Roadway departure is the top factor in fatal crashes, accounting for about half of all traffic deaths in Ohio each year.
Ohio’s Highway Safety Improvement Program addresses road locations with a history of fatal or injury crashes where other safety improvements have not been effective.
“These targeted, data-driven investments not only improve safety for local communities but strengthen the transportation system across Ohio,” said Boratyn. “With the largest highway safety program per capita in the nation, we’re seeing real results — traffic deaths have been declining since 2021.”
Other roadway safety improvements funded in this round of the grant program include intersection upgrades, roundabouts, reduced collision U-turns and a realignment project.

Construction Begins On $274M U.S. 33 Expansion Project
State and local leaders, Kokosing Construction representatives and others joined the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) on June 16 to officially mark the start of construction on a U.S. 33 expansion project in Athens and Meigs Counties.
A total of 25 mi. of U.S. 33 in Athens and Meigs Counties will be converted from a two-lane highway to a four-lane, divided highway. The $274 million project was awarded to Kokosing Construction.
“Road construction projects of this magnitude don’t happen very often in southeastern Ohio, so we’re excited to get started.”
Rich Oster Ohio Department of Transportation
Upgrade of U.S. 33 between Athens and Darwin include:
• converting 10.78 mi. of the 2-lane highway to a 4-lane highway;
• converting the following intersections with U.S. 33 to interchanges: Pleasant Hill, Pleasanton Road, Rainbow Lake Road and State Route 681;
• building seven new bridges; and
• resurfacing the existing U.S. 33 roadway.
Upgrade of U.S. 33 between SR 7 and Ravenswood include:
• converting 14.19 mi. of the 2-lane highway to a 4-lane divided highway;
• adding left turn lanes to at-grade intersections throughout the corridor;
• building three new bridges;
• minor drainage improvements; and
• resurfacing the existing U.S. 33 roadway.
Project Significance
These are the last remaining two-lane segments of U.S. 33 between Columbus and the Ohio River. U.S. 33 is the direct route between central Ohio and the southeastern United States via a connection with Interstate 77. It is an emerging freight corridor, with trucks making up an increasing percentage of the average daily traffic.
“Road construction projects of this magnitude don’t happen very often in southeastern Ohio, so we’re excited to get started,” said Rich Oster, ODOT District 10 deputy director.
“With this $274 million investment, we are improving safety and efficiency and ensuring the U.S. 33 corridor through Athens and Meigs Counties is positioned for the future.”
Construction is estimated to end in 2028.
