We’re excited to share that Franklin County has received a $25 million BUILD grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to improve Alum Creek Drive, a vital freight and commuter corridor in Central Ohio. The project will:

• Widen 2.6 miles between SR 317 and Groveport Road
• Add a third lane in each direction
• Improve access to Rickenbacker International Airport
• Enhance safety, reduce congestion, and support future growth

We thank Senators Jon Husted and Bernie Moreno for their support, and our local partners for helping bring this investment home. This is a major win for our infrastructure, economy, and community.
