The projects are aimed to help reduce deadly crashes across the state, Governor Mike DeWine said.
“With Ohio’s new distracted driving law, we’re beginning to see drivers’ focus return to the roads,” said Governor DeWine. “But we must also ensure that the roads themselves are structurally safe as well.”
