  1. Did you know that Hazel Dell Parkway is a federal highway? But it isn’t. So why is the bridge replacement supposed to qualify for emergency federal highway funding covering 80-percent of eligible costs? Shouldn’t federal highway funding be reserved only for federal highway funding? Indiana has 3,357 miles of Interstate highways and 45,333 miles of other federal-aid highways, nearly 2,000 miles of which the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration rates as in poor condition.

    1. I don’t disagree, but I believe it was a poorly written way of saying they were paying for the bridge due to the disaster declaration.

    2. Federal funding is not just for interstate or state roads. Most of the major routes in towns and cities, such as Hazel Dell pkwy, are already eligible for 80/20 match funding regardless of it being an emergency.

    3. Aren’t the Republicans running against Socialism this year? (I guess not if it benefits the wealthiest county in the state…)

    4. The funding mix is standard for roadway projects, then throw in the fact the bridge was destroyed in a disaster and the mix will still be the same.

      By state law, any bridge 20′ or longer is the responsibility of the county and not a municipality which is why it is the county and not Carmel footing the bill.
