Officials chose the winning projects based on traffic volume and pavement condition.
They also looked at sustainable practices, such as recycling old asphalt. The goal is to make roads safer and prevent flat tires from potholes.
"Road resurfacing projects just are a win-win for lots of reasons," Nichole English, a planning and programming administrator with Cuyahoga County, said. "We're trying to hit projects that will impact the most people or the in the most need of repairs."
The county received more applications than it could fund this year. Officials encourage cities that did not get money to apply again. The county said other grants are available for different types of road and bridge work.
County Council members will vote on the funding at their meeting on Tuesday, July 21.
If approved, the road work will happen in 2027 and 2028.
