GARY – A $250 million expansion of the Indiana Toll Road through Gary has been completed. The project added a third lane in both directions for the five-mile stretch between Gary and Lake Station.

Since 2006 when the Toll Road Concession Co. took over operations of the Indiana Toll Road in a $3.8 billion lease agreement with the state, some $350 million in improvements have been completed along the 157-mile highway.
