Interstate 69 In Indiana
Interstate 69 (I-69) is two discontinuous segments of highway in Indiana. The original 157.30-mile (253.15 km) highway, completed in November 1971, runs northeast from the state capital of Indianapolis, to the city of Fort Wayne, and then proceeds north to the state of Michigan (reaching its capital city, Lansing and beyond). A new 67-mile (108 km) segment in Southwest Indiana starts at the I-64/I-164 interchange in Gibson County just north of Evansville and ends at US 231 near Crane, Indiana. Opened in phases in 2009 and 2012, this is the first major Indiana section completed of the planned national extension of I-69 southwest from Indianapolis via Memphis, Tennessee and Houston, Texas to the international border with Mexico in Texas.

“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn’t be here. It’d still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.”
