INDOT announced the tool Wednesday, according to the release. It was designed so Hoosier taxpayers can quickly see roadwork planned near their residences, with “just a couple clicks of a mouse.”
When a person clicks on a county in the state, the county will turn dark blue and, off to the side, information will be shown about current projects happening in that county, including the route affected by the project, anticipated date contractor bids will be opened, type of work being completed and cost. There are even links to Google Maps so drivers can easily see where the construction will occur.
“This online, interactive investment map gives Hoosiers an opportunity to follow INDOT’s continuous work on roads and bridges throughout Indiana,” Gov. Mike Pence said in the release. “Over the next five years, my administration proposes to invest an estimated $4.6 billion on projects aimed at modernizing our transportation network for the future, and I am thrilled that Hoosiers can follow along as we move forward.”
The information on the map represents an 18-month outlook and is updated monthly by INDOT staff. It can be found at http://www.in.gov/indot/div/investment/.
