Our visit included a stop to Indy\u2019s south side where construction is taking place on the 465-65 interchange.\u00a0 There, we met with carpenters, labor leaders, and officials from Walsh Construction Company to learn about the project. As a member of the Transportation Committee in Congress, I fight hard to ensure Indiana receives critical funding for its infrastructure - including transit, aviation, rail and highway projects like the 465-65 interchange.\u00a0 These decisions result in jobs for thousands of Hoosiers and millions of dollars in commerce, both from construction and from transportation of goods.While I am pleased to announce the 465-65 interchange will be completed in November, I know that too many of our country\u2019s roads remain in poor condition.\u00a0 One in four bridges require significant repair or cannot handle today\u2019s traffic, while sixty five percent of America\u2019s major roads are rated in less than good condition.\u00a0 What our country needs is a long-term transportation bill that addresses our country\u2019s crumbling infrastructure.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecently, I signed onto a letter asking the leadership in Congress to bring a long-term transportation funding bill to the floor for a vote.\u00a0 Our country is long overdue for a safer, more modern transportation system.I take great pride in knowing that my work on the Transportation Committee is making a direct impact on the 7th District.\u00a0\u00a0 If you are interested in more information about my work in Washington or if there is anything I can do for you, please contact my office.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAndr\u00e9\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVoting: Our Right, Our Responsibility\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne of the greatest privileges of being an American citizen is the opportunity to voice your opinion through the electoral process.
