I-69 Corridor in Southwest Indiana Receives Federal Approval
In March 2004, federal approval of the I-69 corridor connecting Evansville and Indianapolis made the new interstate a soon-to-be reality for the 1.3 million people living in the nine counties the corridor runs through; that is, if one’s definition of soon encompasses the next eight to fourteen years.
The approved corridor is to improve access to communities and businesses throughout southwest Indiana by linking Daviess, Gibson, Greene, Johnson, Marion, Monroe, Morgan, Pike, and Warrick counties (see Figure 1). I-69 would also be particularly important to the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center in neighboring Martin County.
