The Indiana Department of Transportation and the city of Westfield will share any cost overruns related to their State Road 32 expansion project, now that the state agency has removed a cap on its contributions, an INDOT official said Monday night.
Jennifer Beck, a senior project manager for INDOT, appeared before the Westfield City Council to alleviate fears that an estimated $15 million project expanding State Road 32 from two lanes to four would cost the city far more than expected.
Beck said during the public comment period that INDOT will continue to contribute funds to the project beyond a previously established $7.5 million cap so long as those expenses are a result of increased bid costs and not the addition of local amenities.
