Gov. Holcomb, INDOT Award $139.7 Million Through Community Crossings Matching Grants

Seven local communities were among the grant recipients.

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Transportation gathered today to announce the recipients of Community Crossings grants.

Nearly $140 million was awarded through the Community Crossings matching grant program, a component of Governor Holcomb’s Next Level Roads program.

"Community Crossings has been an annual highlight over the years," said Gov. Holcomb. "The fact that nearly 14,000 miles of road and over 200 local bridges have been replaced or rehabilitated through this program since 2017 is simply astonishing, in addition to countless economic and quality of life benefits in hundreds of communities across Indiana."

Local grant recipients are listed below:

Communities submitted applications for funding during a highly competitive call for projects in July. Funding for Community Crossings comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund. The community Crossings initiative has provided more than $1.8 billion in state matching funds for local road improvement projects since its start in 2016.

"This program has impacted communities in all 92 Indiana counties, most more than once," said INDOT Commissioner Mike Smith. "I want to recognize all of the local agencies who have participated over time for their hard work and dedication to improving their local transportation networks."

A list of all 223 communities receiving matching funds in the 2024 fall call for projects is available here.
