Indiana lawmakers advanced road-funding legislation Monday morning without a provision that would have allowed Indianapolis to pose a referendum to its residents to pay for road improvements.
The final portion of the 150-mile project was completed with the opening of a newly built interchange linking I-69 and I-465.
In a final report, the task force found that improvements to Indiana’s road and bridge network should be paid by those who benefit from the network “in proportion to their use.”
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the new rule will save 50 lives per year and prevent 500 injuries when fully in effect.
Business leaders say the large amount of land that can be developed north of Evansville along the interstate gives the city unlimited possibilities for growth and change.
Some 200 people joined Gov. Eric Holcomb and his predecessors, Mike Pence and Mitch Daniels, to celebrate the opening of the I-465 interchange at I-69, marking the essential completion of a 16-year construction project linking Evansville and Indianapolis.

Indianapolis-based HG Ventures this week released a report in which it outlines how technology could solve long-standing issues such as traffic congestion, safety and sustainability.
Indy residents say they want the state to consider elements like signage, the locations of interchanges, pedestrian safety and the way these corridors represent—or fail to represent—the city as a whole.
The sensors are designed to give a more accurate depiction of when concrete has “matured” after being poured or repaired and is strong enough to handle heavy traffic.
Automatic braking systems in heavy vehicles would prevent nearly 20,000 crashes a year and save at least 155 lives, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
As they embark on a new vision for the interstates that run through Indianapolis, state transportation officials say they hope to learn from past mistakes by making community engagement a focal point of the planning process.
Pedestrian and cyclist fatalities increased, as did the number of deaths involving unbelted passengers, alcohol-impaired driving, speeding and trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds.
