Talk:Interstate 69

Planned Canada to Mexico I-69

• Having recently visited USA for the first time and seen the "future corridor" signs to the southwest of Houston, Texas I have been surfing the net and found out about the planned Canada to Mexico I-69. I feel this should be mentioned in the introduction to this article, not just under "Notes" and "External Links". --PeterR 16:58, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Temporary I-164 Designation in S. Indiana

Below is an excerpt of my e-mail reply explaining the possibility of the southernmost segment of I-69 (SIU 3) being temporarily signed as I-164.

The southernmost segment of I-69 in Indiana possibly being signed temporarily as I-164 is speculation at this time. Logically, it makes sense because the new section will not yet connect to any other portions of I-69, but it will start at the I-164 terminus and continue north for 13 miles. My thought is that once the remaining sections further north are built, tying into the existing I-69 at Indianapolis, the entire route will then be signed as I-69.

Signing a proposed Interstate route temporarily as a 3-digit spur of another Interstate is actually quite common, since the FHWA and AASHTO try to avoid having many discontinuous segments with the same 2-digit route number, which would be the case with I-69.

A similar approach is being taken with the Interstate 49 extension north to Kansas City and south to New Orleans: One section of I-49 west of New Orleans has been temporarily designated as I-310, and another segment in Arkansas has the temporary designation of I-540. Like I-164 in Indiana, I-310 and I-540 will be re-designated as I-49 once additional segments connecting it to the existing I-49 are built. --Wxstorm

I-69 map

Can someone update the map so that I-69 around the I-465 loop is red, I-69W is WAY shorter. And I-69 in Tennessee can be fixed? Thanks! Xuppu (talk) 21:46, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
