Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels
plans to join Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear today in Louisville
when Beshear conducts a ceremonial signing of a bill that creates a two-state
authority for transportation projects with Indiana.

 

The plan seeks two bridges
over the Ohio River between Louisville and
southern Indiana‘s Clark
County, and a busy interchange of
interstates in Louisville.
The project was approved by the federal government in 2003, but has stalled as Kentucky lawmakers
debated how to fund their portion of the costs.

 

The project is expected to
cost $4.1 billion. Indiana
plans to pay it’s $1.1 billion portion largely with money from leasing the Indiana Toll Road
to a private venture.
