INDIANA (WISH) - Indiana officials are set to open the first 67 miles of the Interstate 69 extension slated to eventually run from Evansville to Indianapolis.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the opening of the highway's lanes of traffic at the Indiana 68 interchange near Evansville.
Governor Mitch Daniels will hop onto his motorcycle and lead a caravan along the new stretch of highway to near Washington , Indiana and then onto the U.S. 231 interchange, where the highway currently ends near the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center southwest of Bloomington.
The highway section will open to the public traffic Monday evening.
An Indiana Department of Transportation spokesperson says the project's first 67 miles cost just under $900 million.
