INDOT awards $179.8 million to local communities for infrastructure improvements

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced today that $179.8 million in federal

transportation funding is being awarded to 50 cities, towns, and counties in rural portions of Indiana to invest in local road and bridge improvements and sidewalk projects.
Locally, the town of Plymouth was awarded $2,615,120 for a local TAP project on Oak Dr from SR 17 (Lake Ave) to US 30.
Marshall County was awarded $8,088,000 for a local bridge project on Michigan Road (Old US 31) over the CSX Railroad located north of US 6.
For this latest round of funding, rural communities will design, develop, and purchase right-of-way for local projects. While the funds awarded now are dedicated to construction, INDOT will also financially participate in design, engineering, and right-of-way acquisition components.
Communities must contribute at least 20 percent in local matching funds and meet other federal requirements to receive federal funding.
Communities were invited to submit project applications to INDOT for potential funding during a call for projects announced in November 2025.
