Introduction and History

Note: Indiana has one of the most rational systems of numbering state highways in the United States. In general, odd one-digit and two-digit highways are north-south highways, numbers increasing toward the west; even one-digit and two-digit highways are east-west highways, numbers increasing toward the south. Single-digit and two-digit US highways other than U.S. Highway 35 are 'secret' state highways of the same number (that is, US-52 is also "Indiana 52"). Three-digit US routes have "secret" Indiana state route numbers, usually with two-digit numbers.

Three-digit routes are related, as a rule, to the single-digit or two-digit parent US or State route; thus Indiana State Highway 205 is related to Indiana State Highway 5 and Indiana State Highway 120 is related to U.S. Highway 20.

Blatant exceptions to this system are "47" and "67", clearly diagonal routes, the defunct "100" beltline around Indianapolis, and Indiana State Highway 135, which acts like a two-digit state highway.

No rule prevents the use of a number both as a state and as an Interstate route (Interstate 64 and Indiana State Highway 64 even meet)!

List of Indiana State Highways

Indiana State Highway 1

Indiana State Highway 2

Indiana State Highway 3

Indiana State Highway 4

Indiana State Highway 5

Indiana State Highway 7

Indiana State Highway 8

Indiana State Highway 9

SR 9 is a long north-south state highway in the eastern portion of the U.S. state of Indiana. Its southern terminus is near Columbus, Indiana on U.S. Highway 31. The northern terminus is at the Michigan/Indiana state line between Howe, Indiana and Sturgis, Michigan, where it continues as Michigan State Highway 66.

It passes through the following towns and cities, from south to north:

Some of Indiana 9 is divided highway and even freeway, but Interstate 69 largely supplants it as all but a regional route between Huntington and Anderson.

Indiana State Highway 11

Indiana State Highway 13

SR 13 is a north-south highway in north-central and central Indiana. Its northern terminus is at the interchange with the Indiana Toll Road, where it feeds into U.S. Highway 131 just south of the Michigan state line; its southern terminus is in Fortville, Indiana, where it meets U.S. Highway 36 and Indiana State Highway 67. All of SR 13 is undivided surface road.

It passes through (from north to south):

It has an interchange with Interstate 69 near its southern terminus, but at no identifiable town.

Indiana State Highway 14

Indiana State Highway 15

Indiana State Highway 19

SR 19from the Michigan line to Elkhart was originally part of US-112 from 1926 to 1934, and US-112S from 1934 to 1936.

Indiana State Highway 22

Indiana State Highway 23

Indiana State Highway 26

SR 26 is an east-west highway in north-central Indiana. From the west, Highway 26 begins at the Illinois State border and ends at the Ohio State border. In Illinois, Highway 26 turns into Illinois Highway 9 and in Ohio it turns into Ohio Highway 119. With the exception of traveling through eastern Lafayette, Highway 26 is an undivided surface road.

It passes through (from west to east):

It has an interchange with Interstate 65 east of Lafayette and with Interstate 69 east of Fairmount.

Indiana State Highway 28

Indiana State Highway 32

SR 32 is an east-west highway in central Indiana. From the west, SR 32 begins at the Illinois State border and ends at the Ohio State border. In Illinois, SR 32 becomes a county road, and in Ohio it becomes Ohio 47. In the Muncie area, some sections are divided, although the vast majority of SR 32 is rural and undivided highway.

SR 32 passes through the following cities, from west to east:

Indiana State Highway 37

SR 37 at one time ran from the northeast of the state to the south end. In the pre-Interstate era, Indiana 37 was the most direct route between Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, although Interstate 69 has supplanted it and some other highways as through routes. It remains as the principal link between Indianapolis and Bloomington.

The Indiana Department of Transportation has decommissioned some sections of Indiana 37 where it coincided with existing highways. It now consists of three discontinuous segments:

A proposed southward extension of Interstate 69 from Indianapolis will probably use parts of the divided, but not yet Interstate-standard Indiana 37 between Indianapolis and Bloomington.

Indiana State Highway 38

Indiana State Highway 39

Indiana State Highway 42

Indiana State Highway 44

Indiana State Highway 48

Indiana State Highway 49

Indiana State Highway 53

Indiana State Highway 57

SR 57 is a north-south, largely two-lane road in the southwestern portion of the state. It begins at U.S. Highway 41 in Evansville and provides access to Evansville Regional Airport. It is multplexed with the Interstate 164 Evansville by-pass for that highway's final three miles, to the junction with Interstate 64. The highway serves a number of small communities and the cities of Petersburg and Washington. The final few miles of SR 57 are multiplexed with U.S. 231. SR 57 ends at the south junction of U.S. 231 and SR 67, three miles southwest of Worthington.

Indiana State Highway 60

SR 60 is a mostly rural, two-lane highway that begins at U.S. Highway 50 near Huron in southern Lawrence County and ends at U.S. Highway 31 south of Sellersburg in Clark County.

SR 60 passes through the following cities and towns:

  • Mitchell (multiplex with SR 37)
  • Salem (multiplexes with SR 56 and SR 135)

Indiana State Highway 62

SR 62 is an east-west route that begins at a toll bridge over the Wabash River between New Haven, Illinois and Posey County. From the east side of Mount Vernon through Evansville, SR 62 is a divided expressway-grade highway. East of Evansville, the highway becomes a largely rural two-lane road, and for much of its trip through Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Harrison and western Floyd counties, it is narrow, winding and hilly.

SR 62 multiplexes with Interstate 64, Interstate 265 and SR 265, bypassing the cities of New Albany, Clarksville and Jeffersonville. The highway then turns to the northeast, serving the cities of Charlestown, Hanover and Madison before ending at SR 262 just south of U.S. Highway 50 at Dillsboro.

SR 62 passes through the following major cities and towns:

Indiana State Highway 64

SR 64 is an east-west highway in the southern portion of the state. It begins at a bridge across the Wabash River east of Mount Carmel, Illinois and ends at Interstate 64 near Edwardsville. Most of the route is two-lane undivided highway, with an undivided multi-lane segment in the city of Princeton near the junction of U.S. Highway 41.

Cities and towns served by SR 64 include, from west to east:

Indiana State Highway 65

Indiana State Highway 66

SR 66 is an east-west highway in the southernmost portion of the state. It begins at the eastern end of a toll bridge over the Wabash River in New Harmony and ends at U.S. Highway 150 east of Hardinsburg. SR 66 is a divided limited-access highway in the metropolitan Evansville area and also between the unincorporated communities of Yankeetown and Hatfield. For the most part, however, S.R. 66 is undivided rural highway, and a large portion of its route (from just east of Newburgh to SR 62 at Sulphur) carries the designation of the Ohio River Scenic Byway.

S.R. 66 passes through the following cities and towns, from west to east:

Indiana State Highway 67

SR 67 cuts a diagonal route from southwest to northeast across the state from the north side of Vincennes to Indianapolis, and then from Indianapolis to the Ohio state line, where it becomes Ohio Highway 49, east of Bryant.

SR 67 is a two-lane highway from Vincennes to near Martinsville, where it becomes a four-lane limited-access highway. SR 67 is multiplexed with U.S. Highway 231 from three miles southwest of Worthington, Indiana to six miles north of Spencer, a distance of approximately 30 miles.

Once SR 67 reaches Indianapolis, it is multiplexed with Interstate 465 around the south and east sides of the city until Exit 42, where SR 67 and U.S. Highway 36 depart the city to the northeast.

SR 67 joins Interstate 69 from Anderson to Daleville, where it leaves the interstate and becomes an expressway by-pass that serves the south and east sides of Muncie.

Northeast of Muncie, SR 67 wraps up its diagonal run in the same manner as it began: as a rural, two-lane highway. Portions of the route are multiplexed.

Indiana State Highway 70

SR 70 consists of two discontinuous east-west segments of two-lane rural roadway; the western portion runs entirely within the boundaries of Spencer County, from U.S. Highway 231 through the unincorporated town of Newtonville to SR 66, while the eastern segment is entirely within Perry County, beginning at SR 37 and ending at SR 66 in the riverside community of Derby. SR 70 passes through no cities or towns of significant size.

Indiana State Highway 100

SR 100 has been decommissioned and no longer exists as a state highway (although the roads themselves still exist). It was a vision to create a beltway around Indianapolis. It was decommisioned as a short route between US-40 & I-465 in the early 1990s. The highway began just south of US-52 at I-465. It traveled northward as Shadeland Avenue. It turned west in northeastern Marion County, and it became 82nd Street. Between State Roads 431 and 37A, it became 86th Street. The highway ended at the I-65/State Road 334 intersection.

The following places were along the highway's route:

  • Indianapolis's Visteon plant
  • Eastgate Mall
  • Indianapolis's Western Electric plant (closed in 1986)
  • Castleton Square Mall
  • North Central High School (Washington Township Schools)

Indiana State Highway 111

Indiana State Highway 112

SR 112 from Elkhart to US-20 was originally part of US-112 from 1926 to 1934.

Indiana State Highway 114

Indiana State Highway 120

SR 120 is an east-west state highway in the U.S. state of Indiana located close to the Michigan border. It has a western terminus in Elkhart at County Road 17 as a surface street and an eastern terminus on the short north-south border between Indiana and Michigan, where it becomes a county road (formerly Michigan State Highway 120, or M-120), a few miles east of Fremont.

Indiana's three-digit state highways are generally "children" of one-digit or two-digit state or U.S. highways in a manner analogous to that of the U.S. highway system. Indiana 120 has U.S. Highway 20 as its "parent", to which it is nearly parallel. Until the 1990s, when U.S. 20 was diverted to a limited-access highway to the south of Elkhart, Indiana 120 had its western terminus in Elkhart on U.S. 20. After the re-alignment of U.S. 20, the four miles of SR 120 between the former U.S. 20 through Elkhart and CR 17 were trimmed from it.

All of Indiana 120 is undivided surface highway. It is strictly an undivided surface highway, lightly traveled throughout most of its route, due to the nearby Indiana Toll Road, also known as Interstate 80 and Interstate 90, which carries most east-west long-distance travel through northern Indiana. Aside from Elkhart and Fremont, it does not traverse any towns with populations greater than 1000.

It has direct access to the Indiana Toll Road, and indirect access, through a short stretch of Indiana State Highway 127, to Interstate 69 a few miles west of Fremont.

Indiana State Highway 127

SR 127 is a very short north-south highway in northeast of the U.S. state of Indiana between Indiana State Highway 120 and U.S. Highway 20 in Angola, Indiana. All of it was part of old U.S. Highway 27, whose designation was moved to the new freeway Interstate 69 when the freeway was completed in northern Indiana in 1967.

Indiana 127 is in fact a "child" of U.S. 27; however, Indiana decommissioned all of U.S. 27 north of Fort Wayne, so Indiana 127 no longer connects with U.S. 27 anywhere. It functions in part to connect Indiana 120 to Interstate 69 and, south of its interchange with Interstate 69, it functions much like a typical Interstate business loop, except that Indiana does not designate any Interstate "business loops".

Indiana 127 provides access, through the very short Indiana State Highway 727, to Pokagon State Park.

Indiana State Highway 135

Indiana State Highway 152

SR 152 was part of US-152 until 1938.

Indiana State Highway 160

Indiana State Highway 161

SR 161 is a rural undivided north-south highway in the southwestern portion of the state. The route of SR 161 was extended by nearly 12 miles in the fall of 2002 when the Indiana Department of Transportation redesignated the former route of U.S. Highway 231 in Spencer County. SR 161 begins approximately nine miles southwest of Rockport at the northern end of the Glover Cary Bridge across the Ohio River, and ends at SR 64 approximately four miles west of Huntingburg.

SR 161 passes through the following towns and communities:

Indiana State Highway 205

Indiana State Highway 211

Indiana State Highway 213

Indiana State Highway 245

SR 245 is a two-lane north-south highway that runs from S.R. 70 east of Newtonville to S.R. 62 east of Dale. S.R. 245 is multiplexed with S.R. 162 through the town of Santa Claus and serves the Holiday World & Splashin' Safari theme park. In the town of Santa Claus, the S.R. 162 & 245 combination runs along Christmas Boulevard, while the northern stretch of S.R. 245 that leads northwest out of town toward Dale is called Holiday Boulevard.

Indiana State Highway 311

Indiana State Highway 327

SR 327 is a north-south, largely rural surface highway in northeastern Indiana. It is entirely undivided surface road throughout its entire course between the Indiana/Michigan state line just north of Orland, Indiana, at which it becomes a Branch County, Michigan county road leading to Bronson, Michigan, and a point near Garrett, Indiana, where it terminates at an intersection with Indiana State Highway 205.

As is typical of three-numbered state highways in Indiana, it has a 'parent' two-digit US or state route, in this case U.S. Highway 27, now de-commissioned in favor of Interstate 69 north of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

From Garrett southward, Indiana 327 became the designation for the old surface route of US 27 to the north side of Fort Wayne as Interstate 69 was completed. Since then, Indiana 327 was truncated just south of Garrett.

Indiana State Highway 335

Indiana State Highway 403

Indiana State Highway 427

Indiana State Highway 727

SR 727 is a very short east-west Indiana state highway lying entirely within Steuben County, Indiana, connecting Pokagon State Park to Indiana State Highway 127 and hence Interstate 69. Termini are at the gate of Pokagon State Park at its gate and Indiana 127 at a rural intersection.

Until 1967 it was designated as Indiana State Highway 127 when Interestate 69 was completed in northermmost Indiana, and Indiana State Highway 727 referred to a short, now decommissioned highway in northeastern Indiana. Both incarnations of Indiana 727 are or were "child" routes of the old U.S. Highway 27 which has been decommissioned in favor of Interstate 69.

Indiana State Highway 912

Known along its entire length as Cline Avenue, SR 912 is a freeway north of the Indiana Toll Road (Interstate 90), and a local access road serving Griffith south of the Indiana Toll Road.

The freeway runs from Whiting east to Gary by the Gary-Chicago Airport. This freeway is about 7 miles (11 km) long.

South of the Borman Expressway (Interstates 80/94 and U.S. 6), Cline Avenue becomes a residential street. Indiana 912 extends south 1 mile (1.6 km) to Ridge Road (Business U.S. 6). Cline Avenue continues south and exists noncontiguously (not as a continuous segment) to the Wabash River.

Indiana State Highway 930

SR 930 is a short urban highway entirely within greater Fort Wayne, Indiana. It consists of a divided surface highway that used to be U.S. Highway 30 between Interstate 69 and Interstate 469; at both termini (on the northwest side of Fort Wayne and at New Haven, Indiana) it feeds to and from US 30, which has been diverted to Interstate 69 and Interstate 469 as a bypass of Fort Wayne.

Originally it was a north-side bypass of Fort Wayne; like many urban bypasses it eventually became a corridor for suburban or suburban-like development and became severely congested.

Indiana State Highway 933

SR 933 is an urban highway consisting of sections of a now-decommissioned U.S. Highway 33 to the north of the St. Joseph Valley Parkway (U.S. Highway 20). It takes a north-south course from the Michigan state line, continuing Michigan State Highway 51 from Niles, Michigan, to downtown South Bend where it takes an abrupt east-west course through Mishawaka, ending at the St. Joseph/Elkhart county line.

All of it is surface highway, and the east-west segment from South Bend to its southeastern terminus is part of the first route of the Lincoln Highway in Indiana.
