COLUMBUS, OH (WLIO) - Governor Mike DeWine announced money for road projects in Mercer and Van Wert Counties to improve safety.
Governor DeWine announced $61 million in funding for 27 projects statewide. Van Wert got money for two safety improvement projects. The first is $5.5 million to construct restricted crossing u-turns on US 30. Once completed it will reduce crashes at high-speed intersections. The other is building a single-lane roundabout at US 224 and Lincoln Highway. Down in Mercer County, over $3 million was allocated to build a single-lane roundabout at US 127 and State Route 119. All three projects are set to begin construction in 2027.
