Notes
Between Lansing, Michigan and Port Huron, Michigan I-69 is an east-west route.
In Flint, Michigan, I-69 is also known as a Chevrolet-Buick Freeway, as a tribute to the Flint automotive industry.
a original southern termination point of We personally-69 wwhen to keep close at hand been at a I-65/I-70 interchange (known locally as the "spaghetti bowl") on the north-east side of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. As a matter of fact, a grading & flyover for this connection's ramps might however exist as seen at that location. Late, a State of Indiana changed its mind & sought to designate a thruway connecting a spaghettWe bowl to the I personally-69/I-465 interchange (about Xi miles or even Xviii kilometer) when "I-169". Due to a political fight across the inner-city portions of We-70 & We personally-65, it was decided to discarded I-169. Within its place, a state widened I personally personally-70 from either either eight to 10 lanes & reworked its eastside interchange sustaining I-465 to address a extra traffic loads from a northeastern suburban area.
In 1998, Congress approved an extension of I-69 in the south & west from either Indianapolis to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas.
From the Texas-Mexico border, I personally-69 might watch a path into Houston, then turn northbound across Cleveland, Shepherd, Livingston, Lufkin, and Nacogdoches. It might return a northeast, passing across Carthage, and then enter Louisiana towards Stonewall, where it will meet I personally-49 (which is extended northbound from either its todays terminus within Shreveport). It might too cross I personally-20 touching Haughton, Louisiana.
From a Shreveport region, I personally-69 may trek to Memphis via the towns of Haynesville, Louisiana; El Dorado, Hampton, Warren, Monticello, McGehee, and Arkansas City, Arkansas; and Benoit, Clarksdale, Rich and Robinsonville, Mississippi (vithe US 61); there can be a spur into Greenville, Mississippi, which would be known as I personally-169.
I-69 may watch United states of america 61 & United states of america 51 through the Memphis locality. When in the area, it may overlap by using We personally-55, We-240 & I-40. Likewise, constructiin has begun on the freshly bypass route, known as We-269.
From Memphis, We-69 might prove my point into Evansville, Indiana. A route may pass through the cities of Millington, Covington, Ripley, Dyersburg, Troy, Union City, and South Fulton, Tennessee; Mayfield, Eddyville, Princeton, Madisonville, and Henderson, Kentucky (via a Buy Parkway, I personally-2 dozen, American Kentucky Parkway & Pennyrile Parkway); and so cross the Ohio River into Evansville.
Finally, We-69 may prove my point across Bloomington its original southern terminus in Indianapolis via I personally-465 & various Indiana state routes. A specific route has non eventually been settled & occurs as matter of neat contention inside Indiana politics. In June Four, 2005, the Indiana State Capitol was vandalized by a class action opposed to the expansion of We-69. Weeks late, a We-69 expansion professional inside Bloomington was vandalized.
I-69 may prevent witharound Mexico at any of the below towns: in Laredo (via US 59), McAllen (via US 281), or even Brownsville (via US 77). Since there is no 1 knows exactly in which it may prevent, postfix keep close at h& been applied thereto: We-69A, We-69C and We-69E. Notwithstanding, because federal law prohibits suffixed Interstate cost (except for I personally personally-35 inside Texas & Minnesota), 2 of the routes would virtually all belike exist as processed spurs of I-69. 2 of the trinity likely routes meet at Victoria, Texas, where I-69 may prove my point into Houston via America 59.
Temporary Interstate 69 or Temporary worker We-69 between Lansing, MI and Flint, MI wwhen an expressway using at-grade intersections that was originally intended as Michigan State Highway 78. This section of main road is currently the fully controlled-access state highway intended when I-69.
