INDOT Oversees $216M I-69 ORX Section 3 Beneath sunny skies, local leaders and project supporters gathered near a corn field in Evansville, Ind., as ground was officially broken on Section 3 of the I-69 Ohio River Crossing (I-69 ORX) project. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is overseeing the $216 million design-build effort, which will improve the stateโs infrastructure. โThis is a transformational project that will complete the interstate connection between Evansville, Indiana and Henderson, Kentucky,โ said INDOT project manager Matthew Bullock. โThat connectivity will be a tremendous benefit to both communities, states and the entire region. It will support the safer and more efficient movement of both people and goods in the region and will open the door to new opportunities.โ I-69 ORX Section 1 involves the approach work in Henderson, Ky., and is being overseen by the Kentucky Department of Transportation. Work is expected to be complete later this year. I69 ORX Section 2 is a bi-state project between Indiana and Kentucky and includes the new four-lane river crossing. By Cindy Riley

Saying itโs โcommon sense to allow all eligible projects the same accessโ to low-interest financing, Sean Duffy, U.S. secretary of transportation, announced in July an update to the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA). This move will allow the financing of up to 49 percent of costs on all types of transportation infrastructure projects.
