Route description
editSR 14 begins at the intersection of US 41 in Enos. The route travels eastward in a straight direction for 11 miles (18 km). Along the way, the route meets SR 55 and I-65. The route then turns north for 1 mile (1.6 km) before traveling eastward again. For the next 18 miles (29 km), the route serves Parr, US 231, SR 49 in Lewiston, and US 421. SR 14 travels north along US 421 for 2 miles (3.2 km) before turning east. On its way toward Winamac, SR 14 intersects with SR 39. In Winamac, the route travels along 11th Street, then turns north along US 35 for about 1+1⁄2 blocks, and turns east along 13th Street. After crossing the Tippecanoe River, the road shifts slightly southward. As SR 14 approaches Rochester, the route intersects with SR 17. Just before entering Rochester, SR 14 crosses over US 31 without a direct interchange. Also, the road becomes 18th Street. After turning north along SR 25 (Main Street), both routes enter the downtown area. Both routes then turn east along 9th Street. Just adjacent to the Fulton County Airport and Lake Manitou, SR 25 turns north, while SR 14 continues eastward.
At this point, SR 14 meanders eastward, serving Athens and SR 19 in Akron. Also in Akron, SR 14 turns north, while thru traffic continues as SR 114. For 2.3 miles (3.7 km), the route parallels SR 19 with 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) of space in between the two. SR 14 then turns east. On its way toward South Whitley, the route serves the following: SR 15 in Silver Lake, SR 13, and Collamer. Between Collamer and South Whitley, the route parallels the Eel River. In South Whitley, the route travels north along Main Street, east along Wayne Street, and southeast along SR 5 (State Street). After crossing the Eel River, SR 14 turns eastward at the intersection of SR 5/SR 105. For the remainder of the route, SR 14 intersects with SR 9, then becomes Illinois Road, and meets I-69/US 24/US 33 in Fort Wayne. At this point, the route ends and the road continues as Illinois Road.[2]
History
editPrior to 1926 SR 14 was routed between Cannelton and St. Croix, passing through Tell City.[3] In 1926 when Indiana State Highway Commission renumbered the state roads, the SR 14 designation went unused.[4] The SR 14 designation was used again in 1931 between Fort Wayne and the Ohio state line, along a section that later became part of SR 37.[5] During 1931 or 1932, new sections of SR 14 became designated routes between the Illinois state line and SR 53, now US 231, and again from SR 43, now US 421, to Fort Wayne. In this year, SR 14 between SR 53 and SR 43 was an authorized state road.[6][7][8] In either late 1932 or early 1933, the route's western end moved to US 41, while a new authorized section of SR 14 was routed between US 41 and SR 43, passing through Fair Oaks and Gifford.[8][9] During 1933, the new authorized route was dropped from the state road system and the road between SR 13 and South Whitley was rerouted onto its modern route. Also at this time, SR 14 was authorized between the Illinois state line and US 41 and authorized from SR 55 to SR 43.[9][10] Between 1934 and 1935, the authorized section became part of the state road system, It had a driving surface of either gravel or stone.[10][11]
Between 1939 and 1941, SR 14 was rerouted from Fort Wayne to Ohio state line, passing through New Haven. This routing replaced SR 230 from New Haven towards the east. The former route of SR 14 became part of SR 37.[12][13] The section of road between the Illinois state line and US 41 was removed from the state road between 1947 and 1948.[14][15] The rest of the roadway was paved in either 1966 or 1967.[16][17] The eastern end of SR 14 was moved from the Ohio state line to the interchange with I-69 between 1993 and 1995.[18][19] The interchange between SR 14 and I-65 was opened in July 2005.[20][21] Widening along SR 14 between Scott Road and Hadley Road was completed in August 2010.[22]

SR 230 was an east–west state road in Allen, running between New Haven and Ohio state line, in Edgerton. The highway began at an intersection with US 24 in New Haven and SR 230 heading east and parallel to the south of the New York Central railroad track. SR 230 headed towards and passed through an intersection with SR 101, before entering Edgerton and ending at the Ohio state line. The roadway continued east as Ohio State Route 113.[12][24] SR 230 was formed in 1932, running mostly north of the New York Central railroad tracks.[8][23][25] Between 1937 and 1938, the road was moved south of the railroad tracks.[25][26] The entire route of SR 230 became part of SR 14 between 1939 and 1941.[12][13] SR 14 was decommissioned along this section of roadway between 1993 and 1995 and it became county roads upon the decommission of SR 14.[18][19]
