This $2,750,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 20.940) on March 22, 2024. The funding will be used to study the opportunities and constraints of capping the recessed segment of the Interstate 65/70 Indianapolis downtown inner loop and the impacts to the surrounding communities. The study will build on two recent examinations of the inner loop to explore how to create more livable, reconnected communities; provide just and balanced development opportunities; and improve the overall environment in and around the highway, while maintaining equal or better interstate travel flow. This planning project aims to identify solutions for the Indianapolis I-65/I-70 southeast quadrant to reconnect divided communities and enhance livability, development, and interstate mobility.
