Indiana has pulled together these last few weeks unlike any other time in our
state’s history

<>
Friend,



Indiana’s roads are seeing a lot less traffic these days – and that’s great
news. It means Hoosiers are hunkering down, staying at home, and limiting the
spread of COVID-19.



In fact, we learned today that vehicle traffic is down 40% during the week and
over 50% on the weekends!



And while we’re not traveling, your Indiana Department of Transportation is
out making sure ourroad and bridge projects continue, so that when it is time
to hit the road again, it’ll be smooth sailing.



Here are a few ways they’re making that happen:



Community Crossings Grants
Community Crossings is the governor’s infrastructure program that assists
local communities in the repair, ongoing maintenance, and improvement of their
roads and bridges. While Governor Holcomb can’t be in each community to
celebrate this year in-person, these local infrastructureprojects will continue
as planned.



217 Community Crossing grants are being awarded in 61 counties and 156 cities
and towns…for a total of $126.5 million in matching grants! Check here

to see if your county or community has been awarded funds!



Jumpstarting Road Construction
With fewer Hoosiers on the road, INDOT is jumpstarting road construction: 

* I-70 on the east side of Indianapolis will be closed for major repairs.
Originally scheduled to take five months to complete, itwill now be done in one
month. 
* Section Six of I-69 (between Martinsville and Indianapolis) continues to
move forward as scheduled.
* Projects are occurring all over the state, including the Lloyd Expressway
in Evansville and I-469 in Fort Wayne.
 

Remember – for the safety of all Hoosiers, travel should only be done when
essential. Enforcement of Governor Holcomb’s latest order for Hoosiers to
hunker down at home goes into effect at midnight tonight. If you have questions
about what this means, check out thisupdated list of frequently asked questions.

As Governor Holcomb has said, “Indiana has pulled together these last few
weeks unlike any other time in our state’s history.” We’re in this together –
and together, we’ll come out of this even stronger.
