What Indiana Toll Road Bankruptcy Means – And Doesn’t Mean – For I-77

Contracts for the construction of toll lanes along I-77 between Exit 11 in Charlotte and Exit 36 in Mooresville have been signed, but strong opposition remains and there’s talk of a lawsuit being filed to stop the project.

The group raising money to file a lawsuit, Widen I-77, points to problems with another toll road in Indiana. The company that runs that road filed for bankruptcy this week.  That company is also part of the same corporation that’s building the toll lanes on I-77.  David Boraks of CorneliusNews.netlooked at what went wrong with the Indiana road and joins Morning Edition host Marshall Terry to discuss.

Marshall came to WFAE after graduating from Appalachian State University, where he worked at the campus radio station and earned a degree in communication. Outside of radio, he loves listening to music and going to see bands - preferably in small, dingy clubs.
