Marilyn, Looks like it could be the same thing you are talking about. I found this information about it. I'm not so sure about this guy running for president though lol


PROJECT LOCATION

The proposed SR 25 project is part of the Hoosier Heartland Highway Corridor, which extends from Toledo, Ohio to Lafayette, Indiana, a distance of approximately 200 miles. The Indiana sections of the corridor are in various stages of improvement. The section from Fort Wayne to Lafayette is about 99 miles long. Once completed, the Hoosier Heartland Highway Corridor will connect I-69 in Fort Wayne to I-65 in Lafayette.

The corridor segment containing the proposed project is located in Tippecanoe, Carroll, and Cass Counties, Indiana. The project begins east of the SR 25 and Interstate 65 (I-65) interchange in Lafayette, and heads northeast to US 24, at Logansport, a distance of about 35.3 miles. The western terminus provides a direct connection to I-65, the major north-south interstate in Indiana. The eastern terminus in Logansport would connect to the recently improved US 24 section of the Hoosier Heartland Highway Corridor. This section of SR 25 is being advanced as an independent project because it is the major commercial corridor linking Logansport, Delphi, and Lafayette. As a major farming area, farmers depend on this corridor to move farm supplies and products to their markets in Logansport and Lafayette

Sounds like your corridor isn't I69, but connects I69 with another interstate highway. I'm all for progress as long as they don't take more land than is needed and as long as it belongs to "We the People" and not some foreign enterprise!!

We need to restrict foreign ownership of our lands and resources like some other countries do. Some would say that's not the American way, but we're out sourcing enough and need to preserve what we have here for our children and grandchildren. That's my opinion for what it's worth.

I agree with you, Marilyn!!

Rick Perry is using the bible to further his own political interests. This makes me so angry! There are many good people who believe in him when he quotes scripture, not knowing that his agenda may not be what they really want at all.

He's not the only one either. Too many politicians are doing this lately. I certainly can see someone promoting their deep faith, but not to the point that it is a large part of their political campaign.

Politicians are so phony that it is no wonder that they are the subject of such controversy lately. Comedians are having a field day with them, and I laugh also, but I remember when these were people who were respected. Not anymore!

Been a hot dusty summer, for about 3 weeks we had dump trucks coming and going moving dirt. They have stopped work here for a while now but they will be back to lay black top. These pics were taken back in May, they do have a section of the highway open now and i have to admit it will be nice when they get the rest of it open

This is what it looks like right now. You can't see it but in the last pic there is an over pass already done, just waiting on black top to get to it.

Thanks for the pictures Lynne I am probably the only person here who is nerdy about these things but road construction excites me lol!!! I design roads for a living so it's always interesting to see how roads are built everywhere else
