Wedeking defends high toll road cost in Indiana
Albert J. Wedeking, executive director of the Indiana Toll Road Commission, called a per mile cost comparison unjust as Indiana's east west road runs through the densely populated Calumet area of Lake County. He contrasted this with Ohio’s route that bypasses Cleveland and Toledo, saying comparisons ignore routing differences. The Indianapolis Times reported $350,000 more per mile cited for Indiana versus Illinois and Ohio plans, and noted toll road bonds yielded profits of 16 million dollars in under five months with over 4.2 million in tax free interest.
