Companies continue to find Indiana a good place to do business. Two key reasons are our location and our transportation network. Indiana has been deemed the Crossroads of America; it's easy to move goods and services in and out of our state, with easy connections to most of the rest of the country. It's safe to say that no matter where your business goes, you can definitely get there from here. Indiana is first in the nation for interstate highway access, intersected by more interstate highways than any other state in the nation. With more than 11,000 total highway miles, Indiana is within a day's drive of 80 percent of the U.S. population. But Indiana is at a crossroads when it comes to funding the transportation needs of the state in the future. Huge price tags await the completion of major projects like construction of I-69 between Indianapolis and Evansville, the completion of U.S. 31, the refurbishment of the Ohio River bridges and the Illiana Expressway. In addition to those major projects, routine maintenance, upgrades and other needs have leaders wondering what the future holds. Thanks to the Major Moves program, Indiana has been fortunate to have a fully funded transportation plan in recent years. That has allowed Indiana to advance many projects long on the transportation agenda for the state. Link
