UNDER TOLL PROPOSAL, DRIVING TO CENTRAL INDIANA AND BACK WOULD COST $15.60
(Richmond, IN)--If I-70 becomes as toll road, a trip from Richmond to central Indiana and back would leave drivers with two options: either pay a $15.60 toll, or take U.S. 40 instead. That’s the proposal released Tuesday in an application filed by the Indiana Department of Transportation with the federal government. The application says that proceeds from the toll are needed to reconstruct and widen 70 from Richmond to Terre Haute. Under the state’s plan, tolling would begin in early 2029 with 70 reconstruction occurring over eight to ten years. Toll collection would not use booths but instead use electronic collection that would not require drivers to stop or slow down.
