Indiana highway officials say construction of a four-lane divided highway connecting Fort Wayne and Lafayette is ahead of schedule and under budget.

They told Gov. Mitch Daniels on Wednesday that the $500 million Hoosier Heartland Corridor project originally due for completion in 2015 now may be finished two years sooner. The Logansport Pharos-Tribune reports the project is more than halfway complete, and land acquisition on all four segments should finish this year.

Daniels traveled to Logansport on Wednesday to get an update on the 99-mile project that will connect Interstates 69 and 65 and link with a four-lane highway from Fort Wayne to the Port of Toledo in Ohio. He says it will make State Route 25 between Delphi and Lafayette a safer road.
