Governor Daniels says Indiana and Illinois have signed an agreement to study potential locations for a new highway that would run between Interstate 94 in Indiana and I-57 in Illinois.
Daniels says the so-called Illiana Expressway would be built with private funds and be operated as a toll road. He says it would help relieve traffic congestion in northwest Indiana and the Chicago area, particularly along I-80/94.
The study will cost between $5 million and $10 million and take no more than three years to complete.
The highway would be approximately 63 miles long, with about 50 miles in Indiana. It would connect with I-94 and the Indiana Toll Road south of Michigan City and run south of Crown Point.
