Indiana Toll Road Concessionaire Completes Ramp Project Ahead of Schedule

The Indiana Toll Road Concession Company (ITRCC) announced that an Exit 10 ramp construction project that began in March is substantially complete, and “key project milestones” have been met 30 days ahead of schedule. The project location is close to the Gary/Chicago International Airport. Although most traffic restrictions have been lifted, ITRCC advised motorists to exercise caution while crews remain on-site doing finishing work. It added, “An upgrade to the lighting infrastructure within the project area is planned for later this winter. Short-term lane closures may be needed to complete these remaining components of the project.”
