State Directs $200M For Ohio River Crossing

0

To improve safety and encourage growth, Indiana is going the extra mile by investing $200 million to complete the I-69 Ohio River Crossing project. The project includes an interchange with the existing I-69 and Veterans Memorial Parkway, as well as a new, 1.5-mile portion of I-69 approaching the river.

Since 2016, Indiana and Kentucky worked to develop the I-69 Ohio River Crossing near Evansville. The Indiana Department of Transportation and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will continue to partner on this project to see it through to completion.

Once fully connected, I-69 will be a continuous interstate from the U.S.-Canada border near Port Huron, Michigan, to the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. These investments will expand our transportation network and attract more businesses to the area, which will help create jobs and boost the local economy.
