History
Before 1973, the state road from US 41 in Terre Haute to US 41 north of West Lebanon was two-lanes. In 1973, the State of Indiana began to build a four-lane divided highway in this area, the rest of the road stayed two-lanes. The expressway was completed in 1978, and some of the old route was designated as SR 263, to serve the towns bypassed. Until 2008, the road was one section and in 2008, the State of Indiana decommission the section from SR 246 South of Terre Haute to US 41 in Terre Haute.
