Maintenance Operations External Page
INDOT is responsible for construction and maintenance of federal interstates, U.S. highways, and state roads in Indiana, including adjacent overpasses and ramps on these roadways. INDOT also is responsible for traffic control devices along these roadways, including signs and traffic signals. INDOT has six district offices across the state that handle day-to-day operations such as construction and detours, traffic signal operations, permits, and maintenance operations – such as filling potholes and plowing snow – along with various other responsibilities. The department works closely with other state, federal and local agencies to meet changing and growing travel needs. INDOT is committed to its mission to plan, build and maintain a superior transportation system enhance safety, mobility and economic growth.

Work Performance Standards
INDOT’s maintenance forces perform numerous work activities throughout the state, from pothole patching to signal repairs, by over 100 management units and over 1,000 employees. Consistent work methods and accurate reporting are essential to getting the job done, at the highest quality and lowest cost possible. The purpose of these work performance standards is to ensure that our maintenance work is done correctly and reported properly. Many of our activities have unit cost goals and quality assurance reviews. By following the work method, the resulting job should meet or exceed the cost and quality goals.

Maintenance Operations Performance Analysis Report
The state MOPAR integrates the maintenance, rehabilitation and operation of the state highway system into a single management plan that implements state and federal asset management requirements, including primary assets such as those from Session Law 2017- 57 Highway Maintenance Improvement Program (HMIP), Session Law 2019-251 Transportation Emergency Reserve use on events declared as emergencies under the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 – 5207), as well as a growing range of supplementary statewide transportation assets and priorities such as Governor Cooper’s Executive Order 80 (EO80) on clean transportation. The MOPAR reflects the core principles of asset management, using objective analysis to focus investments on measured condition and performance goals. The Chief Engineer’s Office continues to refine and expand the asset management framework, introducing new performance objectives to maintain and expand the network prioritizing key fundamentals – maintaining a customer focused approach, making data-driven decisions, adopting a performance and risk based approach and builds off practices mandated by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements, with additional guidance provided by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and other industry best practices.

Maintenance Manual
The MnDOT Maintenance Manual provides guidance on many aspects of highway maintenance. The intention of this manual is to provide information on the practices and guidelines established and practiced by MnDOT for maintenance operations. The manual does not contain all MnDOT policies, safety directives, and technical guidance in specific chapters for maintenance operations but does provide links to the primary guidance in specific chapters.

Peer Exchange Report on Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation for Highway Bridges
FHWA conducted two regional peer exchanges: (1) for the Midwest States which have environments with arid conditions or that experience frequent freeze/thaw cycles and use de-icing chemicals on their highway bridges, and (2) for the Northeast, Southeast, and West States which have environments that experience freeze/thaw cycles or have highway bridges exposed to a saltwater environment. These peer exchanges focused on State practices and materials used that mitigate bridge corrosion. The results of the peer exchanges can be categorized as (1) actions States are undertaking to slow down, reduce, and prevent corrosion from occurring to their existing bridges and (2) policy changes States are making to their design standards, details, and material specifications to eliminate root causes of corrosion.
