Holcomb To Increase Truck Tolls On Indiana Toll Road

Governor Eric Holcomb has announced that higher tolls for trucks on the Indiana Toll Road will pay for a billion dollars in infrastructure projects.

Tolls for passenger vehicles won’t be affected, but trucks who travel the Toll Road end-to-end will pay an extra six-to-34 dollars, depending on how big they are. The Governor says 600-million dollars of that will be used to connect the southern half of I-69 to Indianapolis by 2024…three years ahead of schedule.

Another 190-million will pay for improvements to several northern Indiana highways and will repair several bridges and resurface other highways. And INDOT will create new exits on U-S 31 at Peru and southern Miami County, and at the Hamilton-Tipton County line. When those projects are complete, two stoplights in Miami and Howard Counties will be the only ones remaining on 31 between Indianapolis and South Bend.

Governor Holcomb says the money will also create a 100-million-ollar grant program to expand broadband access to rural portions of Indiana, and a 90-million-dollar grant fund to add more hiking, biking and riding trails.
