When did construction on I-69 begin?
Interstate 69
The original portion of Interstate 69 in Indiana (SIU1 of the overall national plan) starts at an interchange with Interstate 465, the beltway around Indianapolis on the northeast side of that city. I-69 heads northeast to near Anderson, where it turns more easterly to provide indirect access to Muncie before turning more northerly towards Marion, and Fort Wayne. In Fort Wayne, I-69 runs along the western edge of the city while I-69's only current signed auxiliary route, I-469, loops east of the city. After crossing the Indiana East-West Toll Road (I-80/I-90) near Angola and Fremont, I-69 enters Michigan just south of Kinderhook.
