Gavarone Announces Funds for State Route 25 Improvements

COLUMBUS—State Senator Theresa Gavarone (R-Bowling Green) announced the Ohio Controlling Board has approved a waiver for $157,500 to complete improvements to eight miles of State Route 25 in Wood County. The costs are for the redesign of the asphalt mix being used to ensure quality and longevity of the pavement.

"I'm glad the Controlling Board approved these funds to keep the State Route 25 project moving," Gavarone said. "These necessary improvements will help all of our residents stay safe every day."

This $21.7 million project improves eight miles of State Route 25 in the Henry, Bloom, Portage, Liberty, Plain and Center Townships in Wood County by reconstructing asphalt roadway, cement subgrade stabilization, minor structure repairs, installing storm sewers, and other related work.
