INDIANAPOLIS — The office of Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, along with the Indiana Department of Transportation, announced on Thursday that more than $200 million in Community Crossings matching grants have been issued across the state.

According to a news release from the department, the grants will be for local road and bridge projects across 245 cities, towns and counties in the state of Indiana. This set of funding totaled $200,947,809.55.

“Improving and maintaining roads and bridges at all levels is crucial for enhancing quality of life and public safety for Hoosiers,” Braun said in the release. “Communities across the state need investment in their local infrastructure and we are pleased to partner with them to make necessary improvements.”

This funding includes the following communities:

“I travel Indiana’s 92 counties all the time, and I know how important it is for a community to have great roads and bridges,” Braun said in a statement on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, regarding these grants. “These $200 million Community Crossings matching grants will go to improve local roads and bridges across the state and improve quality of life for Hoosiers.”
