STATEWIDE (NETWORK INDIANA) — The state of Indiana needs an additional $987 million to maintain local roads and bridges and has a $2.4 billion shortfall over the next 10 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 and $7,500 per mile.
