It takes a lot to maintain the Crossroads of America. It takes even more during a pandemic, but the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDoT) took the challenges presented by 2020 and turned them into a successful year. Record investments, reduced project completion times and two major projects are among the reasons ENR Midwest has named INDoT its 2020 Owner of the Year.
INDoT has six district offices that handle everything from construction and detours to repairing potholes and plowing snow. The department maintains more than 29,800 lane-miles of highways across the state. It’s responsible for maintaining more than 5,700 bridges across Indiana. INDoT is also one of the state’s largest agencies, with approximately 3,500 employees.
