ODOT District 10: No Active Projects in Vinton County Feb. 25, 2026

The Ohio Department of Transportation District 10 Vinton County webpage, updated Feb. 25, 2026, carries the explicit line, "There are currently no active projects in Vinton County. Please check back often for up," leaving Vinton listed without any active construction while neighboring counties see major investments. The Vinton County entry is a single, truncated sentence on the District 10 site dated Feb. 25, 2026.

That absence sits alongside a broader southeast Ohio program that District 10 officials have described as substantial. Ashley Rittenhouse, District 10 public information officer, told WTAP, "Specifically, here in southeastern Ohio, we have about $400 million of that chunk, and about 60 projects across our nine counties here in district 10." WTAP reported a statewide figure of $3.4 billion and 955 projects, while WSAZ reported a $3.2 billion statewide program; both outlets, however, attribute roughly $400 million to southeastern Ohio.

Athens County’s District 10 construction page, also showing multiple "Last Updated: February 25, 2026" notices, lists anticipated work for area roadways and carries ODOT safety messaging including an image overlay that reads, "Not Just Roadside Workers. Move Over. Slow Down." The Athens page repeats the recommendation to visit the OHGO travel site or follow ODOT District 10 on Facebook or X for updates and lists the District 10 Public Information phone number as (740) 568-3904.

Major projects cited for District 10’s region provide contrast to Vinton’s empty list. WTAP singled out the U.S. 33 widening as the district’s largest item with a $115 million price tag and quoted project guide dates of an expected start on June 1, 2025 and an expected completion on November 1, 2025 while also reporting the expansion will occur "over the next three years." WSAZ quoted Rittenhouse saying, "We are expanding the two-lane sections of US 33 to four lanes," and described the work as addressing the only two-lane section of US 33 between Columbus and the Ohio River.

Nearby Washington County has specific funding and timelines that Vinton lacks on the online list. Rich Oster, ODOT District 10 deputy director, told the Marietta Times Washington County is receiving around $6 million for two projects, including a roughly $2 million pedestrian safety project in Beverly along State Route 60 that remains in the design phase and is expected to take place in summer 2028. Beverly Mayor Jim Ullman said, "They have been excellent partners and asking me for some suggestions to add to their project," and added, "Our sidewalks are old and are in need of some tender loving care."

State-level grant context reported by the Marietta Times includes a $97.2 million announcement for 39 projects across 27 counties, with Governor Mike DeWine quoted, "We want Ohioans to get from place to place safely," and ODOT Director Pamela Boratyn named in the release; the Marietta Times notes funding for that program spans State Fiscal Years 2026 through 2031.

As of Feb. 25, 2026 the official District 10 Vinton County page lists no active projects; District 10’s Athens County pages and regional coverage from WTAP and WSAZ document active and planned work across neighboring counties and provide traveler tools and the public information contact at (740) 568-3904 for further clarification.
