(INDIANAPOLIS) — What’s next for the expansion of Interstate 69? With two-thirds of the roadway expanded and open for business in southwest Indiana, the economic development engine that is I-69 is moving closer to completion.

The Indiana Chamber of Commerce is hosting the I-69 & P3 Summit on June 6 at the Bloomington Monroe Convention Center. Hoosiers can find out what’s ahead and how others are already benefitting from the I-69 expansion.

The summit will highlight the alternatives for the Ohio River Crossing, as well as the future of transportation funding.
