The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) a Formula Grant of $1,135,332.06 on June 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support full-depth reclamation (FDR) work on State Route 29 in Cass County. The project, designated R-42457, encompasses pavement rehabilitation activities on SR 29 from the northern junction of SR 218 to US 24, located within INDOT's Laporte District. This formula-based funding mechanism, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), provides federal financial assistance to support highway preservation and improvement activities on eligible public road networks.

The FDR project represents a preventive maintenance and infrastructure preservation activity within INDOT's broader highway maintenance portfolio. Full-depth reclamation is a cost-effective pavement rehabilitation technique that involves recycling existing asphalt and base materials, reducing the need for new aggregate resources while extending pavement service life. The funding aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's objectives to assist states in highway construction, preservation, and improvement activities, with project administration conducted by the state transportation department in accordance with federal stewardship and oversight requirements.
