The Indiana Department of Transportation is bidding a second round of state highway projects that are set to be funded through federal economic stimulus dollars.

Gov. Mitch Daniels said the plan to distribute the state's $658 million pot of road and infrastructure funding is nearly complete.

Details of 29 more projects included in INDOT's plan were released Friday. They total $43.6 million and include projects in Tippecanoe, Benton, Clinton, Jasper and White counties.
