littlevito Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Those traveling south on I-69 on Friday may want to find a different path once they get close to Anderson, or give themselves extra time. Heard from a person today that it took them an hour and 20 minutes to get through about 15 miles of roadway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exactly126 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 US 40 and/or I70 are good options. I would suggest going west on US 30 to Merrillville. Hang a left on I65 , straight to Bankers Life. This is the best route to avoid all those potholes. bog190 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was going to cut across on US 30, then I would catch US 31 in Plymouth and take it down to Indy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exactly126 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Maybe to the average traveler 31 is an option. However, the interchange from US30 can be very confusing. Avoid the construction and confusion, go via Merrillville. bog190 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying instead of going I-69 from the NE side of Indiana to Indy, someone should instead drive across to the NW side of the state and then down I-65? Wouldn't that add at least 1 to 1-1/2 hours? UncleJimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exactly126 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 It might add some travel time. I'm not sure how much time, it would take to fix a broken axle. My moto is safety first. As Littlevito said allow for extra driving time. bog190 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you own a restaurant and/or gas station on that route and this is a nifty marketing plan? backtothemat, base, IMrule and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exactly126 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 No, I'm just a concerned wrestling fan. However I have heard from many people, that a higher than normal traffic flow on I65 is expected, due to the pothole situation. I have taken the precaution of booking 3 spots in the express lane for 2:30 Friday. If anyone wants to get ahead of the certain traffic jam, book now.

rookie78 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Traffic from Steuben county was pretty good today. We jumped on the road at 930, arrived at the hotel at 12. No pot hole issues and traffic only slowed a little bit north of indy. Maybe worse now, but was easy to navigate this morning. Northbound traffic was backed up and moving slow though. Safe travels.

Y2CJ41 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I think the Bellmont people just wanted to scare people away so they could drive faster. backtothemat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
