Road construction for Kosciusko County is now officially planned.
On May 18 State Reps. Bill Friend and Bill Ruppel announced the final list of Major Moves highway projects, a fully-funded program also planned for Marshall County.
Included in the project is the long-awaited construction on Ind. 13, Ind. 15 and U.S. 30. Cost for Kosciusko County construction and resurfacing alone totals to more than $22.3 million.
However, along with both Friend and Ruppel, the Indiana General Assembly approved the Major Moves legislation, doubling the amount of new highway projects in the state over the next 10 years - all without raising taxes.
"The projects once promised are now guaranteed to be built." said Friend.
This legislation resolves huge highway funding problems that no one else, until now, has solved.
Called the "Crossroads of America" Indiana is now moving toward becoming the crossroads of the world. Indiana's competitive advantage in the global economy is a first-class transportation system.
"Kosciusko County will see key resurfacing projects taking place in the near future on Ind. 13 and U.S. 30," Ruppel announced Thursday.
A 2006 resurfacing of Ind. 13 and U.S. 30 is the first step for Kosciusko to contribute to Indiana's first-class system. Resurfacing for Ind. 13 starts at U.S. 30 and ends at the Tippecanoe River, totaling a cost of $1.6 million. Resurfacing for U.S. 30 starts at Ind. 13 and ends at Ind. 5 and totals $1 million in costs.
New construction on Ind. 15 is set to begin in 2011 and is estimated to cost more than $19.7 million.
Total costs for Kosciusko County road construction and MVH distribution equal out to more than $24.3 million.
"These projects and the other $2 million in MVH funding will provide a tremendous upgrade to our local infrastructure." said Ruppel. [[In-content Ad]]
