On Track: I-69 Finish Line Project update

INDIANA – The Indiana Department of Transportation is celebrating the heartbeat of the I-69 Finish Line – the incredible people and partnerships that make it all possible. 

“Together, we’re more than a project; we’re a community that supports one another. As we work toward our end goals, we thank every individual and partner involved.

To our community, thank you for your patience as we build the newest interstate in the nation. I-69 Finish Line is on track to open to traffic by the end of 2024. The finish line is in sight!”

Driving in Construction Zones

While winter weather persists, construction progress continues as we get closer to the Finish Line. 

As a friendly reminder, please drive safely and stay alert, especially in construction zones.  Distracted driving and speeding can lead to serious crashes that could otherwise be prevented if these simple yet impactful steps are taken behind the wheel.  Put the phone down, reduce your speed, and drive safely.
