I-90 Indiana Toll Road Expansion Planned

Interstate 90 -- the Indiana Toll Road -- will be expanding to three lanes from Ripley Street in Lake Station to mile marker 10 in Gary, Indiana, according to the Indiana Toll Road Concession, reports the Post-Tribune.

Road work on the $215 million road construction project is scheduled to begin in 2008 and continue until 2010.

"We're going to maintain two lanes of traffic east- and westbound throughout the project," ITR spokesman Matt Pierce said. Work has begun on moving utilities and railroads around the structure, Pierce said.
