ODOT Investing In Safety Projects Across Ohio

Governor DeWine has announced that the Ohio Department of Transportation will invest $51 million for new safety projects across the state.

The governor and ODOT Director Dr. Jack Marchbanks say the projects are aimed to specifically address an increase in pedestrian-involved traffic crashes and fatal roadway departures on state and local roads.

ODOT statistics show both of those types of accidents hit their highest levels in 2021 in comparison to the previous decade.

One of those projects is the targeted widening and fixed object relocation along State Route 37 near Findlay to prevent roadway departure crashes.
