Notable milestones: I-64 bridge deck overlays expected completion by end of September 2026; US 41 intersection improvement project moved to April 2027 letting due to incomplete railroad coordination.

New Business

Informational only.

  3. FY 2032 Indiana Call for Projects (Aaron) – Six applications received; three recommended: a project in Vanderburgh County, Hoagroad Bridge replacement, and State Road 662/Yorkshire Drive/Frame Road Roundabout in Newburgh. Motion approved.
  4. FY 2026 Performance and Expenditures Completion Report (Carrie) – Informational report comparing actual performance to the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). Highlights: 56% increase in website users (6,315), 56% increase in new visitors (6,026), 34 TIP amendments and 49 modifications processed, 528 traffic counts, and transit vehicle assistance provided.
