$52M in federal grants awarded for new Columbus-area bridges, paths and other projects
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission has distributed more than $52 million in federal funding for infrastructure projects around central Ohio.
Seven projects, from bus rapid transit to new bridges spanning interstate highways, were allotted federal transportation funding that is coordinated through MORPC.
Five of the seven projects awarded funding are in Columbus. They include:
● $9,328,863 for the East Broad Capital Trail, a multi-use path
● $7,382,832 for intersection improvements at Trabue Road at Walcutt Road on the city's Far West Side
● $14,400,000 for bus rapid transit improvements on East Main Street on the city's East Side
● $4,730,373 for the Big Walnut Trail between Cherrybottom Park and Morse Road on the city's Northeast Side.
● $9,155,409 awarded to Franklin County for the second phase of East Cooke Road reconstruction east of Interstate 71 between Glenmawr Avenue and Karl Road on Columbus' North Side. The road is the border between the city's North Linden neighborhood on the south and the Maize-Morse and Clinton Estates neighborhods on the north side.
The other two projects awarded new grants:
Dublin: $4,500,000 for the Emerald Connector, a new bridge crossing Interstrate 270
Grove City: $2,625,000 for the Southwest Regional Medical and Innovation Gateway Overpass, a new bridge over Interstate 71
These projects were approved from approximately $160 million in grants requested from around the region. A MORPC committee selected the projects 'with the greatest regional impact for these limited resources,' Tom Graham, principal planner at MORPC, said n a press release.
'MORPC is working closely with Central Ohio communities to invest in critical infrastructure projects,' said Parag Agrawal, MORPC's chief mobility and development officer. 'The $52 million commitment will enhance the multimodal transportation network, promote walkable and bikeable neighborhoods, and will enhance roadway safety.'

Wegmans opening 2 new locations this summer: See where
Wegmans opening 2 new locations this summer: See where Wegmans, a popular grocery store chain with over 100 locations along the East Coast, is continuing to expand in 2025. According to the company's website, it currently has stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Delaware. The company notes its expansion plans are concentrated "in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions." The company says on its website that it receives thousands of requests from people who have visited their stores for the first time or moved to a place without Wegmans for the company to build a location in their town. However, the company says it only builds "two or three new stores each year." Here's where the company is opening new locations in 2025, including two this summer. Where are new Wegmans stores opening in 2025 and beyond? Wegmans announced in December 2024 that it would be opening three new stores in 2025: Lake Grove, New York: Opened on February 26 Opened on February 26 Rockville, Maryland: Opening on June 25 Opening on June 25 Norwalk, Connecticut: Opening on July 26 The Lake Grove store is the company's first location on Long Island, according to a news release, while the Norwalk location will be the chain's first store in Connecticut. The Rockville location will be the company's ninth store in Maryland, according to Wegmans. The company also told USA TODAY in an emailed statement on June 2 that it will be opening a new store in Charlotte, North Carolina, in late 2026. New locations are also planned for Holly Springs, North Carolina, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, although opening dates for those locations have not yet been announced.
