The idea would have been to widen and improve I-70 and I-65 to three lanes in each direction border to border, outside of I-465. The coast of the project was estimated at $4.65 billion.

INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — A plan to look at adding tolling to Indiana interstates is getting the "no go" from Governor Eric Holcomb.

The state legislature had asked INDOT to look at what could be done.

The idea would have been to widen and improve I-70 and I-65 to three lanes in each direction, border to border, outside of I-465. The cost of the project was estimated at $4.65 billion.

That would have meant adding tolls to I-65, I-70 and I-94 if not other interstates.

A standard car would have paid somewhere between 4 and 7-cents per mile.

It would have required Hoosiers to have a tolling account and if not, pay 50-percent more per mile.

In a letter to the legislature the governor said, "While I do not intend to move forward with the plan, there may be good reasons to revisit this report in the future.
