Communities across Indiana can roll forward with road and bridge projects thanks to a recent boost in state funding.

Indiana’s Community Crossings Matching Grant program will provide $207 million to 252 Indiana towns, cities and counties. Funds can be used for road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements and other items.

To qualify for the competitive grant, smaller municipalities provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while larger communities provide a 50 percent match. State law requires 50 percent of the available matching funds be awarded annually to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer. 

Since 2016, Community Crossings has awarded more than $1.4 billion to improve local roads and bridges.

Visit the Indiana Department of Transportation website to learn more about the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program and view the full list of award recipients. The next call for projects opens July 1.
