That was the problem with I-69 all along - there was no money. The fact that even with the Major Moves theft, there isn't enough money to complete this interstate shows what a fraud it was from the beginning.

I am all for the I-69 extension. What I don't understand is why they simply didn't have it come off I-70 instead of I-465 where it ends up taking a lot more expensive property and is more disruptive. Maybe that requires too much backtracking to hit Bloomington, I don't know.
