On Wednesday, July 8, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) announced more than $57.8 million in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant Program for four transportation infrastructure projects across Indiana.

Locally, $12 million will go to the Revolutionize State Road 37 Project:

• Completes final design for reconstruction of a 1.6-mile segment of State Road 37.
• Converts the corridor into a grade-separated highway.
• Replaces three signalized intersections with continuous-flow roundabout interchanges featuring pedestrian facilities.
• Includes an overpass bridge, bridge replacement, and additional access improvements.

The funding will support projects to improve roads, bridges, freight infrastructure, and transportation safety while supporting economic growth across the state. Sen. Young wrote letters of support for each of the projects.

“These investments will strengthen Indiana’s infrastructure, improve safety, support commerce and help communities prepare for future growth,” Sen. Young said. “From modernizing critical bridges and freight facilities to improving major transportation corridors, these projects will benefit Hoosiers for decades to come while keeping Indiana’s transportation network strong and our economy growing. I appreciate Secretary Duffy’s partnership in helping make these investments possible.”
