=== Indiana === {{Main|Interstate 69 in Indiana}} The new section of I-69 in southern Indiana presently begins at the [[U.S. Route 41|US 41]] interchange south of [[Evansville, Indiana|Evansville]] at the former southern terminus of [[Interstate 164|I-164]]. From there, it runs first east, then north, meeting [[Indiana State Road 662|SR 662]], [[Indiana State Road 66|SR 66]], and [[Indiana State Road 62|SR 62]]. At exit 18, [[Indiana State Road 57|SR 57]] joins I-69 on a [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]]. Shortly thereafter, it meets [[Interstate 64|I-64]] at a [[cloverleaf interchange]]. From there, it runs north to [[Indiana State Road 68|SR 68]]. Construction was completed on November 19, 2012, on a {{convert|67|mi|km|adj=on}} segment (SIU 3, Sections 1–3). This extension takes the route north-northeast from there to [[Indiana State Road 64|SR 64]] near [[Oakland City, Indiana|Oakland City]], then north-northeast to [[U.S. Route 50|US 50]]/[[U.S. Route 150|US 150]] at [[Washington, Indiana|Washington]], and finally northeast to [[U.S. Route 231|US 231]] near [[Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division]] (NSWC Crane Division). Construction for the final new terrain segment (SIU 3, Section 4), which takes I-69 from NSWC Crane Division northeast to [[Indiana State Road 37|SR 37]] on the southwest side of [[Bloomington, Indiana|Bloomington]], was completed in December 2015 and was extended north to [[Martinsville, Indiana|Martinsville]] in late 2018 (Section 5).<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=August 10, 2018 |title=Section 5 of I-69 project will be completed near mid-September, according to INDOT |url=https://fox59.com/2018/08/10/indot-section-5-of-i-69-project-will-be-completed-near-mid-september/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180811195814/https://fox59.com/2018/08/10/indot-section-5-of-i-69-project-will-be-completed-near-mid-september/ |archive-date=August 11, 2018 |access-date=February 18, 2019 |website=FOX59 |language=en}}</ref> Section 6 (Martinsville to Indianapolis) of I-69's SIU 3 is currently being upgraded to full [[Interstate Highway standards]] all the way north-northeast to I-465 on the southwest side of Indianapolis. The project is referred to as I-69 Finish Line Project. I-69 became a continuous segment in Indiana with the opening of the I-69/I-465 interchange on the south side of Indianapolis in August 2024.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2024-07-24 |title=Businesses looking forward to I-69 completion on Indy's south side |url=https://www.wthr.com/article/traffic/traffic-news/businesses-looking-forward-to-interstate-69-completion-on-indianapolis-south-side/531-7dd2609d-62b7-4c2c-9687-d31f0a234504 |access-date=2024-07-30 |publisher=WTHR-TV |language=en-US}}</ref> The original portion of I-69 in Indiana (SIU 1 of the overall national plan) starts at an interchange with [[Interstate 465|I-465]], the [[beltway]] around [[Indianapolis]] on the northeast side of that city. I-69 heads northeast to near [[Anderson, Indiana|Anderson]], where it turns more easterly to provide indirect access to [[Muncie, Indiana|Muncie]] before turning more northerly toward [[Marion, Indiana|Marion]] and [[Fort Wayne, Indiana|Fort Wayne]]. In Fort Wayne, I-69 runs along the western edge of the city while I-69's first (and for many years only) signed auxiliary route, [[Interstate 469|I-469]], loops east of the city. After crossing the [[Indiana East–West Toll Road]] ([[Interstate 80|I-80]]/[[Interstate 90|I-90]]) near [[Angola, Indiana|Angola]] and [[Fremont, Indiana|Fremont]], I-69 enters Michigan just south of [[Kinderhook, Michigan|Kinderhook]].
