STATEHOUSE (Aug. 6, 2024) – "With the extension of I-69, our vision of a seamless connection between Indianapolis and Evansville is now a reality. This development promises not only safer and more efficient travel, but also a surge in economic growth in Johnson County and Indiana," said State Rep. Michelle Davis (R-Whiteland).

"Today, we celebrate a significant milestone with the final extension of I-69. This critical infrastructure project will improve transportation safety and foster economic opportunities across the region. It's a testament to our ongoing efforts to connect communities and promote growth throughout Indiana," said State Rep. Craig Haggard (R-Mooresville).

"Extending I-69 has been a long time coming, and it's fantastic news for Indiana. This vital connection between Indianapolis and Evansville will enhance travel safety, boost economic growth and solidify our reputation as the Crossroads of America," said State Rep. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville).

"Having efficient and safe roads is not only important to the thousands of Hoosier families who use them everyday, but also to the thousands of small businesses that rely on them to move and receive the products they need. This project is an investment in the quality of life for the families, small businesses, and family farms in and around Johnson County," said State Rep. Robb Greene (R-Shelbyville).
