Governor proposes 75-mile tollway bypass of Marion County

WTHR :
"Governor Mitch Daniels wants to build a 75-mile long tollway around Indianapolis. He wants a public-private partnership to build the outer-belt tollway. It would run through six counties and connect several interstates from I-69 in Hamilton County to I-70 at Indianapolis International Airport.

The hope is the 'Indiana Commerce Connector' will attract new jobs, create six new job zones, alleviate traffic in high traffic areas and bring the communities all the road closer to the national economy, all without raising taxes.

The connection points for the proposed tollway - ambitiously dubbed the Indiana Commerce Connector - include Pendleton, Greenfield, Shelbyville, Franklin and Martinsville, as well as the airport.

'This would be a toll road built with my favorite revenue source- other people's money,' said Daniels."
