INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis drivers could see some relief coming from bumpy roads around town.

The City-County Council is investing millions of dollars into infrastructure in their 2026 budget. It is also an effort to keep pedestrians safe on city streets.

City-County Councilor Joshua Bain (R-District 21) said in his six years on the council, infrastructure is clearly the top issue he hears from people about — especially in his district on the southwest side.

In the 2026 budget, Bain said a little more than $100 million would be spent on roads and bridges. However, he said a study from about five or six years ago shows that this is not nearly enough.

"It showed that we have to be spending between $400-600 million a year on roads just to maintain our current road condition," Bain said.
