INDOT proposes $5M in Central Indiana projects, including $4.16M I‑69 fiber relocation

INDOT’s proposed amendment to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program would add about $5 million in Central Indiana work. The largest line item is roughly $4.16 million to move fiber along Interstate 69 between State Road 39 and I‑465 (DES 2400752), funded with about $3.74 million in federal dollars and $416,058 in state funds, with construction proposed for fiscal year 2027.

The amendment also includes an approximately $810,000 project at U.S. 421 and Willow Road (DES 2600892) covering intersection improvements, with about $150,000 for preliminary engineering in fiscal year 2027 and roughly $660,000 for construction in fiscal year 2028. INDOT opened the amendment for public comment as part of the MPO process; the Indianapolis MPO portion of amendment A26‑MPO‑13 was listed as closing on Sept. 20, 2026. INDOT says projects must appear in the STIP to be eligible for federal funding.
