South Bend Tribune Supports Illiana Expressway

The South Bend Tribune throws its support in favor of the Illiana Expressway Toll Road.

A proposal that would authorize the state to proceed with plans for the construction of the Illiana Expressway deserves the support of the Indiana House. ...

The expressway has long been viewed as needed. The Indiana Department of Transportation estimates 300,000 vehicles travel between Indiana and Chicago each day using the Borman, U.S. 6, U.S. 30, the Indiana Toll Road and local streets. Some officials believe a new expressway would reduce truck traffic on U.S. 30 by 59 percent and on the Borman by 22 percent. Such reductions would significantly improve public safety.

Plans for the Illiana Expressway deserve to move forward.
