STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) – Indiana's Community Crossings Matching Grant Program awarded local communities over $4.4 million in state funding for local road and bridge projects, according to State Rep. Lindsay Patterson (R-Brookville).
The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program provides local communities funding for road reconstruction, bridge preservation, intersection improvements and other projects. This year, 245 Indiana communities will receive more than $200 million in state matching grants.
"With these grants we can move beyond patchwork and other inadequate solutions to invest in better upgrades for our roads," Patterson said. "Safer, more durable roadways will benefit everyone and reduce the risk of accidents caused by high congestion and poor conditions."
Indiana was recently ranked as the best state in the nation for overall road conditions by ConsumerAffairs, noting our low rate of traffic fatalities and quality of roads.
Area grant recipients include:
Patterson said to qualify for funding, smaller municipalities must provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while larger communities must provide a 50 percent match. The state requires 50 percent of available matching funds be awarded annually to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or less. Since 2016, Community Crossings has awarded more than $2 billion to improve local roads and bridges.
