Let’s face it. When it comes to Heavy Duty Equipment, from the outside, brands tend to run together. The real separator? Performance. As in ‘how reliable’ and ‘how productive’. That’s why Hyundai designs their equipment with features that matter. From the minute-by-minute, online ability to connect with your machines and know their exact productivity, to the best warranty in the business - 3 years/3000 hours full machine and 5 years/10,000 hours structural. Hyundai is an original in a look-alike world. Visit hceamericas.com for the complete story.

Kasich’s $2.5B Fuels Season Gov. John R. Kasich’s Jobs and Transportation Plan is fueling a $2.5 billion state construction season — the largest ever — that will put more Ohioans back to work building some of the state’s largest transportation projects. Just a few years ago, transportation officials were forced to push back — sometimes by decades — many of the transportation projects communities need in order to improve motorist safety and local economic vitality. In response, Kasich unlocked the value of the Ohio Turnpike to bond $1.5 billion to help fill the gap. That money, combined with federal state and local investments over six years, will allow for $3 billion in new infrastructure spending — and much of that work begins this year. “Ohio is leading the Midwest in job creation over the past three years and our highways are critical to our ability to keep our job creation momentum,” said Kasich. “By thinking creatively, we were able to develop a solution that will allow us to move ahead sooner with some key projects across the state and as a result, the future of our roadways is much better than it was a few years ago.” The Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) 2014 construction season includes 936 different projects throughout the state

totaling $2.5 billion. The Ohio Turnpike is partially or entirely funding multiple phases of 5 different projects that will begin or continue this year, including: • Construction of Cleveland’s eastbound George V. Voinovich Bridge in Cleveland • Interstate 75 highway reconstruction program through Wood and Hancock counties • Reconstruction of State Route 57 in Lorain County • Widening of Interstate 271 in northern Summit County • Construction of Cleveland’s Opportunity Corridor Locally, motorists will see work either begin or continue on a number of transportation projects including: • Interstate 75 pavement rehabilitation project in downtown Toledo • Interstate 475/ U.S. Route 23 interchange safety upgrade • McCord Road underpass project For more information, visit http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Services/RoadCo nstruction/Pages/Construction2014.aspx.
