A $2 billion replacement terminal rising at John Glenn Columbus International, a $1.9 billion hospital tower just opened at Ohio State, two sewer tunnels boring under Cleveland, a $398 million viaduct replacement in Cincinnati and a $328 million rebuild of Cleveland's Innerbelt interchange headline Ohio's public pipeline.
*How to read the total: the sum of the published figures in the list below. Bases differ by project — most are total cost estimates, some are federal grants, program totals, or construction contracts as awarded. Each project's expanded view labels its own basis. We add them up with the labels showing rather than pretend they're all the same kind of number.
Hover a pin for the project snapshot. Pin numbers match the project list below. Locations are approximate (nearest city or corridor midpoint) on a schematic state outline.

17 major public projects: 6 in the Columbus area (including Ohio State's Powell outpatient centre in Delaware County), 4 in Cleveland, 2 each in Cincinnati and Akron, and one each at Wright-Patterson AFB, in Licking County and in Lawrence County. The listed figures sum to ≈$7.05B. The Brent Spence Bridge Corridor ($3.6B) is not in this tally and not on this page: it is a bi-state Kentucky/Ohio project listed once, at the total figure with the state shares disclosed, on Kentucky's page. This is a majors list, not an exhaustive inventory — ODOT alone advances dozens of funded projects over $10M in a construction season, and they are not all itemised here.
How phases and programmes are counted: only the funded, published piece is listed, never the programme total. Columbus Crossroads appears as its current $280M phase (4R/6R), not the ≈$1.4B Downtown Ramp Up programme built since 2010; the I-90 Central Interchange is the $328M awarded contract for Innerbelt Group 3 Part A, not the ≈$2B Innerbelt plan; NEORSD's two tunnels are listed at their contract figures ($328M bid; $324.8M awarded), not the $3B Project Clean Lake programme; the Akron NSIT is listed at its $215M contract against a ≈$283M amended total, and Ohio State's hospital tower at its $1.9B total project figure against a ≈$1.5B construction contract — in each case the other figure is disclosed on the record.
News-flagged sources: nine rows rest on news or trade-press reporting of official figures, flagged 'news-flagged' in the data — Ohio State's hospital tower (HCO News), LinkUS West Broad (Columbus Dispatch, FTA dashboard figures), both NEORSD tunnels (CEG and ENR), Columbus Crossroads Phase 4R/6R (Columbus Dispatch), the Lower Olentangy Tunnel and Akron NSIT (Granite Construction award releases), the SR 8 bridge (Akron Beacon Journal, ODOT fact sheet) and SR 16 (CEG, ODOT figures). Each record names the underlying official source. The softest record on the page is the Port of Cleveland's Warehouse A and electrification programme ($35.4M, from the Port Authority's own 2023 facilities plan) — a programme element, not a single contract.
Deliberately excluded: projects completed in a prior year, however large — the Akron Beltway / Central Interchange rebuild ($161M, completed November 2025), UC Health's Blood Cancer Healing Center in Cincinnati ($131M, opened 2024–2025), Toledo's I-475 widening and US 20A interchange (≈$102M, completed 2024), the Portsmouth Bypass (opened 2018) and Cleveland's Opportunity Corridor (completed 2021). Also excluded: the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor, listed on Kentucky's page (see above); Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), which is in Kentucky and on Kentucky's page; Cleveland Hopkins' CLEvolution terminal programme ($2.07B master-plan estimate published October 2026 — conceptual and not approved or funded for construction); the US 23–I-71 connector (study stage, unfunded); the Department of Energy's Portsmouth site cleanup (a remediation programme, not a building or infrastructure build); and private projects of any size — Intel's Ohio One semiconductor fabs, the Honda–LG battery plant, Anduril's Arsenal-1, the Browns' Brook Park stadium, the Wright-Patterson Stratos Hilltop developer lease, and private nonprofit hospital builds such as Cleveland Clinic's and Nationwide Children's — out of scope by rule.
