The Franklin County Engineer’s Office is excited to share that $1.5 million in federal funding has been awarded to support three key roadway improvement projects in our community: the Havens Corners Road at Taylor Station Road and Mann Road Roundabout, the Cooke Road Corridor (Glenmawr Avenue to Karl Road), and Morse Road (Johnstown Road to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road) Improvement Projects. These investments will help improve safety, reduce congestion, and enhance connectivity for residents, businesses, and travelers throughout the area.

We are grateful to Congresswoman Joyce Beatty for her support in securing Community Project Funding for these improvements and for her continued commitment to strengthening infrastructure across Franklin County.
