Illiana Expressway Stalls

The planned Illiana Expressway has hit another snag. Our partners at The Times of Northwest Indiana report the Indiana Department of Transportation has suspended work on the 48-mile toll road project, pending a decision by Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner on how his state will proceed. Last month, Rauner froze spending on all Illinois Department of transportation projects.

The 48-mile proposed toll way had received final federal approval prior to Rauner taking office.

INDOT's decision to place the project on hold was announced in a letter to Senator Rick Niemeyer (R-6) viewed by the Times of Northwest Indiana.
