Indiana Halts Sixty-Six Miles Of National Road
Indiana will leave 66 miles of the National road between Terre Haute and Richmond unbuilt this year while Illinois completes its stretch. Lawrence Lyons, Indiana highway director, says work will focus on linking completed sections and expediting the road to join coast to coast. The project progresses at about four miles per month with 20.24 miles finished in Indiana and 16.2 miles under contract. The federal aid plan covers half the cost, with Indiana’s share around 7.42 million dollars and total contracts for state roads at 3.96 million. The toll-free route spans Terre Haute, Brazil, Plainfield, Indianapolis, Greenfield, Knightstown, Cambridge City and Richmond, boosting travel through rich agricultural and industrial regions.
