Mayor says Reynoldsburg won $2 million in federal funding for Bryce Road realignment

The mayor told the Reynoldsburg City Council on Feb. 9 that the city secured $2,000,000 in federal funding for the Bryce Road realignment project and outlined project elements and a possible timeline.

"You found out that the city of Reynoldsburg was the recipient of $2,000,000 in federal funding for the Bryce Road realignment," the mayor said, describing the planned improvements to include a realignment at the Bryce and Main intersection, additional north- and southbound turn lanes, resurfacing to Reigate, and coordination with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the regional transit authority. He added that a separate $4.2 million in transportation-support funding related to the Dakota BRT would cover work in areas not connected to the BRT.

The mayor described the project as a federal undertaking that will require engineering and coordination with federal agencies and state transportation officials; he estimated, subject to change, that work would likely commence in late 2027. He emphasized the federal process and approvals will determine the schedule and next steps.

Council members did not vote on the Bryce Road announcement; the mayor's remarks were informational and included references to related coordination with the Columbus Partnership and possible local park priorities connected to other funding opportunities.

The council later approved related transportation contracting and emergency legislation for other street projects during the same meeting.
