Indiana Report

Indiana faces significant funding needs, but transportation conditions have improved in recent years.

Indiana Infrastructure Overview

While the nation’s infrastructure earned a C in the 2025 Infrastructure Report Card, Indiana faces infrastructure challenges of its own. For example, driving on roads in need of repair in Indiana costs each driver $638 per year, and 6% of bridges are rated structurally deficient. Drinking water needs in Indiana are an estimated $7.5 billion. 266 dams are considered to be high-hazard potential. The state’s schools have an estimated capital expenditure gap of $518 million. This deteriorating infrastructure impedes Indiana’s ability to compete in an increasingly global marketplace. Success in a 21st-century economy requires serious, sustained leadership on infrastructure investment at all levels of government. Delaying these investments only escalates the cost and risks of an aging infrastructure system, an option that the country, Indiana, and families can no longer afford.

 

There are more than 19,000 bridges in Indiana and 5.6% of them are structurally deficient.
