I 69 Road Project Picking Up Speed
Acquisition on the I 69 road project is moving fast. Recently, the Governor, Mitch Daniels instructed INDOT to “fast-track the project to take advantage of the cheaper prices.”
Original completion of the first three sections of the interstate, from Evansville to Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, was scheduled for 2015; however, low construction bids, driven by the suffering economy, have cut projected costs by 25%, allowing Daniels to up the projected completion date to 2012 for the first three sections of I-69. The fourth section of I-69, from Crane to Bloomington, is projected to be completed by 2014, almost six years ahead of schedule.
Daniels is being criticized by some for his fast-track, “take advantage of these terrific below-estimate prices” philosophy.
It is now more important than ever to be ready for the condemnation process. If you should have any questions about the acquisition of your land for the I 69 road project please feel free to give our office a call for a free consultation.
