LIMA — The City of Lima is on the short list to receive a third infusion of money for the east-side grade separation of Elm Street, according to the city’s Public Works Department.
Public Works director Howard Elstro announced Wednesday that the project, which would construct an underpass underneath the Indiana and Ohio Railroad crossing at East Elm Street, is currently slated to receive $4 million from the Ohio Department of Transpiration’s Transportation Review Advisory Council as part of the council’s 2017-2020 major new construction draft list. An additional $2.5 million is slated to be approved from ODOT’s safety program for the roundabout project on the Elm, Bellefontaine and Calumet Street intersection.
The project had previously received allocations of $104,000 in the planning stage as well as $3 million for right-of-way acquisitions.
