State receives $127M grant for FlexRoad project

The Indiana Department of Transportation has received a $127 million grant from the National Infrastructure Project Assistance program to support a major interstate project in northwest Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb's office announced Monday.

The funding will support more than half of the cost of the I-80/I-94 FlexRoad project, which aims to make improvements to a 12-mile stretch of the interstate, known as the Borman Expressway.

The $212.5 million project involves identifying Traffic System Management and Operations strategies designed to improve travel times, increase reliability, enhance safety and reduce carbon emissions along the corridor, which runs from I-65 in Gary west to the IL 394 interchange in Cook County, Illinois.
