Hey folks, OP here...
Y'all helped greatly a year ago on the question. I will be doing the same thing in two weeks.
Last year I took I-69 to 37 to 465 to the airport. The road was good albeit, I wish the interstate construction was more complete. That was on a Sunday morning (and during covid.) Very little traffic at 6AM.
This year I plan on leaving around the same time or so but on a Monday and plan on doing the same route.
Has any more construction been completed in a year? Not too much update I could fins.
How is traffic on a Monday. Need to make a flight, wheels up at 11AM.
Should I get going earlier?
Construction is more significant now. 37 is closed at Martinsville so all traffic is forced onto 39 and over to 67. They added some extra lanes to help as you follow the detour. I’ve driven the route a half dozen times since the closure. Most of the time it’s just heavy traffic, but on a tight schedule at a busy time, you might want to consider 69 to 231 to I70 at Cloverdale. It’s longer, but more predictable.
If you go through Martinsville, get in the far left turn lane as you turn onto 39 going up, then stay in the right lane heading south to avoid having to change lanes in traffic. Don’t stop anywhere in Martinsville as it can be tough to get out into traffic to leave. Going up, don’t follow the detour signs back to 37. Just stay on 67 and turn left on Ameriplex Parkway.it’s the next major road after Camby Rd.
