Braun. \u201cAs we celebrate 250 years of American freedom, these signs are a fitting tribute to Indiana\u2019s proud legacy as the Crossroads of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Braun unveiled the signs during a ceremony held today at the I-70 eastbound rest area near Plainfield. Gov. Braun was joined by INDOT officials to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a unique opportunity we are proud to take part in,\u201d said Secretary of Transportation and Infrastructure Matt Ubelhor. \u201cI-70 and U.S. 30 are main thoroughfares traveled by thousands of Indiana residents and visitors each day. Both are significant in the history of transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Motorists may see similar highway signs in other states as they travel. Branded signs and flags were included in USDOT\u2019s national \u201cFreedom Moves You\u201d campaign, a subset of Freedom 250, to mark this historic milestone along the nation\u2019s highways and interstates. The signs will remain in place through the end of next year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/indot\/who_repairs_my_roads.png\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Who repairs my roads? graphic from INDOT.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='ff1931e5ddc2d3de6ee1cfad3eb3361f' data-image-id=\"10095\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/indot\/who_repairs_my_roads.png\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/indot\/thumbs\/thumbs_who_repairs_my_roads.png\" data-title=\"Who repairs my roads?\" data-description=\"Who repairs my roads? graphic from INDOT.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Who repairs my roads?\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Who repairs my roads?\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"10095\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/indot\/thumbs\/thumbs_who_repairs_my_roads.png\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/project-renderings\/t2019_10_30_SpyRunBridge2.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Rendering of the proposed Spy Run Avenue bridge redesign.
