Four Lanes Sought On Heavily Traveled Indiana Roads
A subcommittee of the Legislative Advisory Commission recommended four Indiana highways US 82 41 31 and Ind 37 be converted to four lane divided superhighways border to border. The plan aims to access all federal matching funds rising to about 21 million dollars next year and to secure 16 million dollars redirected from the highway department to match those funds. The group stressed maintaining a free highway system and continuing study of toll roads.
