Indiana Gov. Mike Braun on Friday announced completion of Section 3 of the I-69 Ohio River Crossing Project in Evansville during an event at the site of the future I-69 bridge.
Braun was joined by Indiana Secretary of Transportation and Infrastructure Matt Ubelhor, Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Lyndsay Quist, members of the project team, state and local officials, and economic development partners, said a release from I-69 ORX. Henderson County Judge-Executive Brad Schneider was also at the ceremony.
