Pence: Indiana to expand I-65 with new road funds

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence on Thursday announced plans to use $200 million in newly released funds to expand sections of Interstate 65, and a transportation department spokesman said project could reduced travel time for some commuters in the Indianapolis area.

“If you’re going to be the Crossroads of America,” said Pence, citing Indiana’s nickname, “You have to have the roads to back it up.”
