According to Cleveland.com, 24 percent of major locally and state run roads in Ohio are in poor conditions – that’s almost one in four.
That was followed by 41 percent of roads that are in mediocre conditions and 35 percent in good condition.
The non-profit group, TRIP released a report that analyzed bridges congestion, safety and funding.
They looked at the five major cities in Ohio: Cincinnati, Cleveland-Akron, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo.
