In November 1991, the United States Congress passed the $151 billion Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act that included the I-73/74 North-South Corridor and made I-73 a priority and included an extension of I-74 from Hamilton County to I-73 at Portsmouth [REF].
On August 31, 1992, the Ohio Turnpike Commission passed a resolution to study making the extension of I-74 a toll road.
