FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne officials are celebrating a construction milestone.

The Summit City spent a record $31-million on roads, alleys, sidewalks, and trails in 2019, as part of $180-million in infrastructure work done over the past six years.

“I’m committed to continuing infrastructure projects that support residents and strengthen the neighborhoods they live in,” says Mayor Tom Henry. “We are making a difference in all parts of the community. Building better roads, creating new transportation options for pedestrians and bicyclists, and enhancing the places we live with drainage improvements, new lighting, and enhanced landscaping are critical to advancing Fort Wayne as a great place to live, work and play.”
