Indianapolis, April 14, 2020 – Milestone Contractors: $5 Million Saved on Highway Project 

 

Project Manager Ed Wilson of the Indiana Department of Transportation goes to work every day on Indiana’s interstates.

“This is kind of like our office, and we invite people to come out and sit in our office and you’ll see how bad it is at times, the traffic just goes by so fast,” he said.

Wilson said there’s a lot less traffic flowing through his “office” ever since Governor Holcomb ordered Hoosiers to stay home to fight the coronavirus.

“There’s no doubt about that the traffic’s a lot less,” he said. “I would say it’s forty to fifty percent off.”
