Indiana Toll Road

The Indiana Toll Road, or more officially the Northern Indiana East-West Toll Road, is a limited access, divided highway in the extreme north of Indiana. It was privately financed and constructed during the 1950s, and user tolls pay for its capital costs and maintenance. It lies throughout its course no more than ten miles from either Lake Michigan or the Michigan state line. It feeds directly into two toll roads at the Illinois and Ohio state lines, the Chicago Skyway in the west and the Ohio Turnpike in the east. All of the Indiana Toll Road is designated as Interstate 90; all of the Toll Road east of the junction of Interstate 80. Interstate 90, and Interstate 94 is also designated as Interstate 80.

Control cities on highway gantries are Chicago, Illinois and Toledo, Ohio, and never South Bend.

Cities and towns for which the Toll Road gives direct access include

Tolls are collected at barriers near the Ohio state line and in the urban segment between the Illinois state line and Portage, and at interchanges in the sections between Portage and the Ohio state line (tolls collected at exits).
