I 69 Port Huron to Indy

Has anyone travelled I 69 from Port Huron to Indianapolis lately? What are the road conditions like these days? I'm going to be pulling a 16,000 Lb 5th wheel trailer down there in a couple weeks and wondering if there might be any problems/construction/etc. Thanks in advance!
  • Fort Wayne, Indiana to Pendleton, Indiana ... I certainly hope you have wheel insurance and reinforce the cabinets in your camper. You'll need it!

    Once you get past Pendleton, Indiana, you have about 20 miles of just finished, resurfaced, re-done 6 lane interstate ... once you get past the construction going on around Anderson, and hope you don't loose your entire rig in a hole somewhere!

    My suggestion ... Once you hit Fort Wayne, Indiana .... take any other State Highway or even back country roads, and you'll have a much more pleasant ride. Yes, it's THAT horrible... especially towing something that heavy!
  • 69 isn't bad in Michigan and from the state line to Fort Wayne it's good too but from Fort Wayne to the circle, it sucks. Lots of orange barrels and matching pot holes.
