DELPHI— For at least one day, it did not matter which political party they belonged to or whether the governor’s Major Movesroad program was a good idea.

Residents and elected leaders, Republicans and Democrats, shared in the thrill of cutting the ceremonial ribbon and taking an inaugural drive on the newest section of the Hoosier Heartland Highway.

“Next to the folks who live along here, no one is happier to see this come together,” said Gov. Mitch Daniels.

The 12-mile stretch of road will replace the existing winding, hilly, two-lane Indiana 25 that has linked Lafayette and Delphi.
