I-69 not included in INDOT budget crunch

The Evansville Courier Press has an article about an informational meeting wherein INDOT director of long-range planning, John Weaver, said that the $2.1 billion deficit that has led INDOT to reassess its projects does not include I-69. I-69 comes with its own $2.1 billion price tag. (So, in reality, INDOT seems to have a $4.2 billion deficit.) Weaver said that if funding mechanisms can be found for I-69, he would want to begin construction sometime before the year 2015.
