The Indiana Department of Transportation and Gov. Eric Holcomb recently announced that local government agencies have received a combined $126.5 million in state matching funds to support infrastructure construction projects. The funding, which was made possible through the Next Level Roads: Community Crossings Initiative, will be dispersed across 214 cities, towns and counties. Community Crossings, which was created by the Indiana General Assembly and signed into law by Holcomb in 2017, has awarded more than $738 million in state matching funds to local government agencies since its inception. The purpose of the program is to improve economic vitality by helping communities with projects such as road resurfacing and preservation, bridge rehabilitation and replacement, drainage work and road reconstruction to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. According to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, some 6% of Indiana’s bridges are classified as structurally deficient.
