Evansville to Indianapolis airport (I-69) question

37 south of I-465 is a construction mess. I would absolutely use 39, 67, and Ameriplex. I live here.

OP here,
Looking to make the trip again in a few weeks.

Any local update on construction progress?

Better than it was last year since they are no longer detouring all traffic. Still a short distance of 55 and 45MPH right before Martinsville. 69 to 39 to 67 to Ameriplex is for sure the way to go. I was just up there Wednesday. Only thing new this year is the ramp to 39 in Martinsville has changed. Same place, but the layout has changed so the turn in it is pretty tight and you have two roundabouts as you get to the end.

When you see the sign for exit 87 1 mile, toot your horn as you’ll be close to me!

OP here, thank for the latest update.

I did the suggested route recently and it is a pretty direct way to go. I definitely notice the less construction from last year.

I am used to that route doing now for a few years in a row and I gotta' ask the question: Is this still the preferred route to get to the airport even when I-69 get completed?

OP here...
Any construction progress update?

on edit:
In looking at the "I-69 Finish Line" website, it appears that it is complete up to 144 at Waverly.

I69 has progressed, but there have been closures on 465. Preferred route is still 69 to Martinsville, take exit 137 and use 39 to jump over to 67 and then Ameriplex to the airport.

^^--Thank you, John, for the update.

I am used to that route and will heed the advice. Perhaps next year it will all be complete (but wonder if it will be the preferred route to the airport once 465 is done.)

I like allowing plenty of time (don't like to rush) and enjoy the 2-lane Indiana country roads. If I get stuck be behind a 'binder, then so be it... life goes by too quick without needing to add to the haste.
