61 and an area of casinos and I-55 north into Memphis, Tennessee. This route generally serves as a connector for through traffic heading south to U.S. 61 near Tunica and Interstate 55 by Hernando, Mississippi. The first section of Interstate 69 south of the original Indiana to Michigan corridor to be signed was the 14.7 mile stretch between U.S. Once in Port Huron, I-69 and I-94 meet for a second time and combine eastward to the Blue Water Bridge to Sarnia, Ontario. The freeway returns to rural areas east of Flint en route to Lapeer and Port Huron. Beyond Lansing and the overlap with Interstate 96, I-69 crosses I-75 at a nearly 90 degree angle within the city of Flint and then meets Interstate 475. Once in the Lansing area, I-69 changes directions: A sign once indicated that I-69 north becomes I-69 east (this sign was removed by 2011). Business loops along the way serve communities bypassed along old U.S. 27 north to Lansing, Michigan.Ĭrossing into the Great Lakes State, Interstate 69 heads northerly to Marshall and a junction with Interstate 94 before bending eastward toward the capital city of Lansing. Also in Fort Wayne, I-69 overtakes the former route of U.S. Through Fort Wayne, I-69 passes west of Downtown while a beltway, Interstate 469, encircles the Summit City to the east as both a commuter route and connection to the Fort to Port Corridor, U.S. The freeway begins at the Indianapolis Beltway (Interstate 465) and connects the capital city with Muncie, Fort Wayne and Angola in northeastern Indiana. Interstate 69 connects the cities of Indianapolis, Lansing, Flint and Port Huron within the Great Lakes region. The long range goal is to unite all of the separate sections into a seamless corridor linking Canada with Mexico. Additional sections are posted in southeast Texas, northern Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee, western Kentucky and southwestern Indiana. 12 The original segment stretches northward from Indiana to Michigan. Interstate 69 currently consists as a disconnected route along a 1,660 mile corridor.
