Reynoldsburg wins OPWC funding for Route 256 corridor improvements
Summary
Mayor Begany announced an Ohio Public Works Commission award for a $4,042,504 corridor project on Route 256 that includes a new traffic signal and ADA upgrades; the city will receive $2.6 million in grant funds and $878,000 in 0% loans, leaving roughly $542,000 local share.
Mayor Begany told council that Reynoldsburg had been awarded Ohio Public Works Commission funding to improve the Route 256 corridor, including a five‑way intersection upgrade, a new traffic signal with pedestrian ADA push buttons, reflective signal heads, improved crosswalks and curb ramps, and pavement-marking changes to add turn lanes.
"Earlier today, the city of Reynoldsburg was awarded the Ohio Public Works Commission grant funding for improvements in the 256 corridor," Begany said. She listed the project cost as $4,042,504, with $2,600,000 awarded in grants and about $878,000 in 0% loans, which left the city responsible for approximately $542,000.
Begany said engineering work will occur this year and construction is expected to begin in 2027. She asked council to note that full project details and project materials would be posted to the city's website the following day.
No formal appropriation vote was taken at the Nov. 24 meeting; council received the announcement as part of the mayor's report. The award will inform future CIP and budget planning ahead of construction.
