The US State of Ohio is planning an increase in spending on road construction for 2010. The authorities intend to increase spending by 30% over previous years to some US$2 billion. Part of the increase has been attributed to federal stimulus funds worth $1.1 billion that have been granted for projects getting underway in 2010 and 2011. Over 125 projects this season are located in the seven counties of the district and include: three intersection projects along the Ohio 4 bypass in Butler County, worth $25 million; completion of reconstruction work on the I-275 between Winton Road and US 42; and the beginning of the Mill Creek Expressway project, worth $664 million and located in Hamilton County. Altogether there will be 1,600 projects under construction in 2010, including cycleway, pedestrian, bridge, pavement and interstate projects.
