I-69 Corridor Connecting Evansville to Indianapolis Finally Complete
With the completion of the I-69 corridor between Evansville and Indianapolis this week, you can now drive a continuous route from Evansville to the US-Canadian border in Michigan.
The Finish Line Project Is Finally Complete
The stretch of I-69 between Indianapolis and Evansville spans 142 seamless miles. The project, known as the Finish Line Project began in Martinsville, Indiana back in 2019. Now that it's complete, I-69 connects Evansville to the US-Canadian border in Port Huron, Michigan.
142 Miles of Interstate
Part of the project includes a new interchange at I-69 and I-465 with two flyover ramps, according to WTHI-TV.
The new interchange at I-69 and I-465 consists of two flyover ramps just west of the existing SR 37/Harding St. interchange. South of I-465, the newly constructed I-69 diverts from the current path of SR 37 north of Edgewood Ave. From the interchange, I-69 will run concurrently with I-465 to the I-69 interchange on the northeast side of Indianapolis.- WTHI-TV
I-465 Still Under Construction
While the southbound I-60 ramps to and from I-465 east and west are now open, the I-69 northbound ramps at I-465 east and west are expected to open sometime after Friday, August 9, 2024. However, drivers should still practice caution near I-465 as it is still am active construction zone with temporary lane closures and reduced speeds.
A Seamless and Efficient Route Between Two of the Three Largest Indiana Cities
For those of us that have family or friends in and around Indianapolis and points north, the completion of the Finish Line Project will have a huge benefit as it creates a seamless and efficient route between two of Indiana's three largest cities.
