| recently had the opportunity to join U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and a delegation of leaders from Indiana and Kentucky in Washington, D.C., to discuss the progress of the I-69 Ohio River Crossing project and to advocate for federal funding for the bridge. Members of Congress, legislative staff and other representatives from the region were also in attendance.
The I-69 Ohio River Crossing project is a bi-state effort that will connect Evansville to Henderson, Ky. It will provide interstate cross-river connectivity to reduce traffic congestion and delays while improving safety for drivers. The project is divided into three sections for construction and project delivery. The I-69 bridge is part of section 2 and construction is expected to begin in 2027. The I-69 Ohio River Crossing project is vital for the future success and economic growth of our region. Meeting with Secretary Duffy and working alongside our Kentucky partners shows just how committed we are to making this project a reality. It will enhance commerce, drive long-term growth and improve the daily lives of residents in Southwest Indiana and the surrounding area. It’s an honor to serve you and represent the people of Southwest Indiana at the Statehouse, and on projects that affect our region like this one.
