The state of Indiana needs $987-million more to maintain local roads and bridges and has a two-point-four-billion dollar shortfall over the next ten years.

The figures are from the Local Technical Assistance Program, which is a partnership between the state government and Purdue University.

28-percent of roads in the state are in poor condition, and those cost considerably more to fix at between $150,000 and $1.5 million per mile compared to roads in good condition, which cost between $1,000 – $7,500 per mile.
