They call it progress!!

From what I understand, I live North of ft wayne, that the I 69 project is from indy south to evansville. They have changed our exit signs. Our exit was 150 they have changed the sign to exit 350 instead now. I did not realize they were doing anything from Lafayette to Ft Wayne. That would make it nice for some.. I know Kokomo is
getting a bypass with 31. To much going on to keep up with it all.

This highway is already open from Logansport to Ft Wayne, we take that when we go to Mi. then from Logansport to Lafayette is what they are working on now, it will replace the old 25 from Logan to Lafayette. I drive 25 to and from work from almost to Delphi to Logansport.
I have been to Kokomo and know where you are talking about the bypass there also.

I will be glad when they are done with construction cause the Perdue traffic is terrible.

I know what you mean about people losing their homes. We had a new highway put in a few years ago and Tammy's parents (my DIL) were forced to sell their home. Like you said......progress.

Here is a update of the progress that has been made on this highway. The first 2 pic's are before and after (work still in progress) access to the new highway, just down the road from my house. I will add more pic's in the next post.

these are before and after of about the same area. One side has been open for about a year, but it has been only 2 lane with traffic going both ways, it is now 3 lanes in spots where they are putting finale layer on the side we have been driving on for the last year. They opened it before it was done so they could get the other side done. The dirt side we were walking on, the finished side I am on a part of the old highway that they left which is really nice cause no traffic is aloud on it but it is a good place to walk the dogs, it is much higher than the new highway.

just some pic's. The one with the trees is the old highway that they left. The red thing is my new ride I got just a couple of weeks ago.

It looks really nice Lynne!

And I love your new ride!
