In November 1991, [[United States Congress|Congress]] passed the $151-billion (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{inflation|US-GDP|151000000000|1991}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}) [[Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act]] (ISTEA) 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>{{cite news|title=Congress Puts I-74 on Fast Lane to Coast|last=Condo|first=Adam|work=The Cincinnati Post|date=November 30, 1991|page=7A}}</ref>

On August 31, 1992, the [[Ohio Turnpike Commission]] passed a resolution to study making the extension of I-74 a toll road. Congress had authorized paying for 80&nbsp;percent of the cost, but the state would have to pay the remainder of the $56&nbsp;million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{inflation|US-GDP|56000000|1992}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}).<ref>{{cite news|title=Linkup May Take Toll|last=Penix|first=Len|work=The Cincinnati Post|date=September 17, 1992|page=1}}</ref>

The Ohio Turnpike Commission proposed that the extension run along SR&nbsp;32;<ref>{{cite news|last=Penix|first=Len|date=September 21, 1995|title=State: No new I-74 leg Project could use Ohio 32 instead|page=1|work=The Cincinnati Post}}</ref> while Representative [[Jim Bunning]] of [[Kentucky]] wanted the road to begin in the west as part of a greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky bypass, returning to Ohio near [[Maysville, Kentucky]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Dias|first=Monica|date=March 26, 1998|title=I-74 extension through N.
