Interstate 69 currently exists in two distinct sections: a continuous route from Indianapolis, Indiana to the Blue Water Bridge at Port Huron, Michigan, and a relatively short spur from Tunica Resorts to Hernando, Mississippi. In the US state of Indiana, Interstate 69 presently runs northeast from Indianapolis and traverses through the city of Fort Wayne In the US state of Michigan, Interstate 69 passes through the large cities of Lansing and Flint. The proposed Interstate 69 extension from Indianapolis southwest to Texas presently has a short piece completed in the U The Blue Water Bridge is a twin-span bridge that spans the St Port Huron is a city in the US state of Michigan.

The population was 6812 at the 2000 census

Interstate 69 in Indiana starts at an interchange with Interstate 465 in northeastern Indianapolis, running roughly northeast to near Anderson, Indiana, where it turns more easterly to provide indirect access to Muncie before turning more northerly towards Fort Wayne. Interstate 465 (I-465 is the Beltway circling Indianapolis Indiana, United States. Anderson is a city in Madison County, Indiana, United States. Muncie (ˈmʌnsi is a city in Center Township, Delaware County in east central Indiana, best known as the home of Ball State University and Fort Wayne is a City in northeastern Indiana, United States and the County seat of Allen In Fort Wayne, I-69 roughly runs along the western edge of the city while an auxiliary route, Interstate 469, loops east of the city. Interstate 469 (abbreviated I-469) also known as the Ronald Reagan Expressway, is an Interstate highway in the midwestern United States. I-69 continues northerly to the Indiana Toll Road near Fremont, then crosses the border into Michigan just south of Kinderhook. The Indiana Toll Road, officially the Indiana East-West Toll Road, is a tolled Highway running east-west across the northernmost part of Indiana Fremont is a town in Fremont Township, Steuben County, Indiana, United States.

I-69 in Michigan runs north passing through Coldwater and Marshall. Coldwater is a city in the US state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 12697 Marshall is a city located in the US state of Michigan. It is part of the Battle Creek, Michigan Metropolitan Statistical Area Near Olivet, I-69 begins to turn in a northeasterly direction passing through the Lansing metropolitan area. Olivet is a city in Eaton County in the US state of Michigan. Here I-69 is cosigned on with I-96, the only such palindromic pairing in the Interstate Highway System. Interstate 96 (I-96 is an intrastate Interstate highway that is entirely within the U A palindrome is a word phrase number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words The Dwight D Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly called the Interstate Highway System (or simply the Interstate System) I-69 is signed east-west from Lansing through Flint to Port Huron. At its eastern terminus, I-69 joins I-94 to cross the Blue Water Bridges at the Canadian border over the St. Clair River.

Interstate 69 in Mississippi and Tennessee starts at an at-grade intersection with the former route of Mississippi Highway 304 in Banks, Tunica County. Mississippi Highway 304 consists of two routes in northwest Mississippi: An freeway-grade route coinciding with most of SIU 10 of Interstate 69, beginning Banks is a small unincorporated farming community in northeastern Tunica County, Mississippi, United States. Tunica County is a County located in the Mississippi Delta region of the U It continues roughly north-northeast, crossing into DeSoto County, to a partial interchange with the current route of MS 304, then runs easterly to an interchange with Interstate 55 in northern Hernando. DeSoto County is a County located in the US state of Mississippi. Interstate 55 (I-55 is an Interstate highway in the central United States. Hernando is a city in central DeSoto County Mississippi. The population was 6812 at the 2000 census It then continues north, overlapping I-55 to the Tennessee state line. I-69 continues northward multiplexed with I-55 to the south side of Memphis. It then follows I-240 northward through downtown before joining I-40. Presently, the northern end of this section of I-69 is at the I-40/I-69/TN-300 interchange on the north side of Memphis. This portion of the route is the first "section of independent utility" of the proposed extension to be signed as part of the national I-69 route, and the first portion designed as part of the extension.

Proposed extension

In 2000, Corridors 18 and 20 were split into 32 sections of independent utility (SIUs) as part of the I-69 (Corridor 18) Special Environmental Study. [3] Some states use these SIU numbers to identify projects. I-94 between Chicago and Port Huron was SIU 27.

As of 2007, SIU 1 (north of Indianapolis) and SIU 2 (which will use I-465 around Indianapolis) are open, as is the short SIU 10 in northwestern Mississippi. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. SIUs 5 and 6 in Kentucky are built as freeways, but not to Interstate standards. I-blank widesvg|90px|right]] Standards for Interstate Highways in the United States are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials On June 6, 2008 President Bush signed HR-1195, designating these parkways as I-69. The legislation also authorizes Kentucky to immediately sign the parkways as I-69. Kentucky officials plan to place I-69 signs on Breathitt, Western Kentucky, and Purchase Parkways during the summer of 2008. [4][5][6][7] Two SIUs in Tennessee and Arkansas (9 and 28) are under construction with portions of each open to traffic. [8] Most of the remaining parts of the mainline are in the environmental impact statement (EIS) stages; the Federal Highway Administration has signed records of decision approving the final EIS for SIUs 7,[9] 11,[10] 12,[11] 13,[12] and one section of SIU 3. An environmental impact statement, in the United States, is a document that must be filed when the federal government takes a "major Federal action significantly The Federal Highway Administration ( FHWA) is a division of the United States Department of Transportation that specializes in Highway transportation [13] Despite approval of several segments, work has been completed on only one segment, due in part to increasing costs for construction materials and machinery. As a result, several states have indicated that construction of I-69 may not be possible without the use of tolls as the primary means to finance building the highway. A toll road, (also known as a tollway, turnpike, pike, or toll highway, especially if it is constructed to Freeway standards Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi passed legislation authorizing toll roads within each state. In Texas, a private firm will build, operate, then transfer the highway to the state after a specified period of time. Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT is a form of project financing wherein a private entity receives a concession from the private or Public sector to finance design construct Lawmakers in Kentucky are considering a bill that would authorize the re-tolling of three parkways slated to become I-69. Kentucky and Indiana plan to finance a new bridge across the Ohio River with tolls,[14] and governor Mitch Daniels announced in 2006 that I-69 through Indiana will be toll-free; about half of I-69 extension through southwest Indiana will be built using $700 million from the 2006 Major Moves deal, although the same Major Moves legislation gives Indiana the option to place tolls on I-69 if necessary. Major Moves is the name of a plan conceived by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels to lease the Indiana Toll Road for 75 years to an Australian [15]

The I-69/TTC project has been split into 15 SIUs, which match the original ones but do not share numbers. SIUs 1 to 8 (original 16 to 23) cover the main line along the "I-69 East" branch to Brownsville. The "I-69 Central" branch to McAllen is SIUs 9, 11, and 12 (original 24 to 26).

History

A route from Indianapolis northeast via Fort Wayne to I-80/I-90 near Angola was added to the proposed "Interregional Highway System" by the early 1940s. Fort Wayne is a City in northeastern Indiana, United States and the County seat of Allen In the US state of Indiana, Interstate 80 consists entirely of the following two routes The Borman Expressway from the The Indiana Toll Road, officially the Indiana East-West Toll Road, is a tolled Highway running east-west across the northernmost part of Indiana Angola is a city in Pleasant Township, Steuben County, Indiana, United States. Unlike most of the routes, it was not drawn along an existing U.S. Highway corridor, except north of Fort Wayne (where it used US 27); most of it ran along State Road 9. The system of United States Numbered Highways (often called U US Route 27 ( US 27) is a north-south United States highway in the southern and midwestern United States. State Road 9 in the US State of Indiana is a long north-south State highway in the eastern portion of Indiana [27] The extension beyond Angola to I-94 near Marshall actually started out as part of what evolved into I-94. In the US state of Michigan, Interstate 94 runs east-west through the southern portion of the state Marshall is a city located in the US state of Michigan. It is part of the Battle Creek, Michigan Metropolitan Statistical Area On early plans, the Chicago-Detroit route would have replaced US 112 (now US 12), splitting from I-80/I-90 at South Bend. US Route 112 ( US 112) was a largely east-west state trunkline highway across the southern portion of the U US Route 12 in Michigan is the section of the larger US highway in the U South Bend is a city on the St Joseph river and a twin city of Mishawaka Indiana. [28][27] By 1947, the route had been shifted north to present I-94, along what was then US 12, but the connection to South Bend remained, splitting at Kalamazoo. [29]

The Interstate 69 designation was assigned to the Indianapolis-Angola route in 1957, while the short South Bend-Kalamazoo route became Interstate 67. [30] I-67 was shifted east to the US 27 corridor by early 1958, becoming an extension of I-69 to I-94 near Marshall. [31][32] The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized an additional 1500 miles (2400 km) of Interstates, to be chosen by the Federal Highway Administration; among Michigan's proposals was a 156-mile (251 km) extension of I-69 northeast and east via US 27 to Lansing, M-78 to Flint, and M-21 to Port Huron. The Federal Highway Administration ( FHWA) is a division of the United States Department of Transportation that specializes in Highway transportation M-78 is a State highway in the US state of Michigan. The western terminus is the intersection with M-66 north of Battle Creek Flint is a city in the US state of Michigan and is located along the Flint River, 66 miles (106 km northwest of Detroit. M-21 is an east-west Highway in the US state of Michigan connecting the cities of Grand Rapids and Flint. Port Huron is a city in the US state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census the city had a population of 32338 with a 2006 estimate of 31302 [33] However, the FHWA only approved the route to I-475[34] in Flint. Interstate 475 (I-475 is an Interstate highway in the US state of Michigan. [35] The continuation to Port Huron was approved in late 1984. Michigan's 1241-mile (1997 km) portion of the Interstate system was completed in 1992, when the last piece of I-69 opened southwest of Lansing. [36]

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 included two High Priority Corridors that would later become parts of a proposed extension of I-69:[37]

Corridor 18 was extended southwest to Houston, Texas, where it connected to Corridor 20, by the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1993; the new definition read "Corridor from Indianapolis, Indiana, through Evansville, Indiana, Memphis, Tennessee, Shreveport/Bossier, Louisiana, and to Houston, Texas. Shreveport is the third-largest city and the principal city of the third largest Metropolitan area in the U Bossier City (Ville de Bossier is a City in Bossier Parish, Louisiana, United States. "[38] The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 made further amendments to the description of Corridor 18, specifying that it would serve Mississippi and Arkansas, extending it south to the Mexican border in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and adding a short connection at Brownsville, Texas. The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 () is a United States Act of Congress that was signed into law by President Bill Clinton Mississippi ( is a state located in the Deep South of the United States Arkansas ( is a state located in the southern region of the United States. The Rio Grande Valley is an area located in the southernmost tip of Texas. Brownsville is a city in and the County seat of Cameron County, Texas, United States. This act also specified that Corridors 18 and 20 were "future parts of the Interstate System", to become actual Interstates when built to Interstate standards and connected to other Interstates. The Dwight D Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly called the Interstate Highway System (or simply the Interstate System) I-blank widesvg|90px|right]] Standards for Interstate Highways in the United States are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Although the act designated Corridor 9 as Interstate 99, no number was assigned to Corridors 18 and 20 yet. Interstate 99 (I-99 is a partially-completed main route of the Interstate Highway System in central Pennsylvania. [39]

The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), enacted in 1998, greatly expanded the definition of Corridor 18 to include the existing I-69, as well as Interstate 94 between Port Huron and Chicago. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21 was enacted June 9, 1998, as Public Law 105-178 Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. A connection to Pine Bluff, Arkansas was added, and the extension to the Lower Rio Grande Valley was detailed as splitting into two routes at Victoria, one following US 77 and the other following US 59 and US 281 to the Rio Grande. Pine Bluff is the largest city and County seat of Jefferson County, Arkansas, United States. Victoria is a city in and the County seat of Victoria County, Texas, United States. US Route 77 is a north-south United States highway. It is unsigned in and around Dallas Texas. US Route 59 is a north-south United States highway (though it is signed east-west in parts of Texas) US Highway 281 is a north-south United States highway. It is 1872 miles was completed June 9 2008 formerly there was no direct access between the two freeways and This act also assigned the Interstate 69 designation to Corridors 18 and 20, with the branches on US 77 and US 281 to the Rio Grande being "I-69 East" and "I-69 Central". [40] With TEA-21, the I-69 extension took shape, and remains today as those segments. [41]

Opposition and controversy

Opponents believe that I-69, by subsidizing trade between Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America, will further contribute to the exploitation of workers in the global south. Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The United Mexican States ( or commonly Mexico (ˈmɛksɪkoʊ () is a federal constitutional Republic in North America. Third World is a name given to nations that are generally considered to be underdeveloped economically [42]

The construction of I-69 has also angered environmentalists. In particular, the portion of the route in Indiana would run through wetlands, existing farmland, and forested areas, and cut through geologically sensitive "karst" terrain, which environmentalists argue threatens to pollute underground water systems and harm the rare species that live there. Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble Bedrock, usually Carbonate rock such as Limestone A rare species is an Organism which is very uncommon or scarce [43]

Opposition comes also from urban planners who (in addition to the concerns above) believe the highway will require subsidies of up to $2 billion a year and will greatly increase the spread of suburban sprawl and automobile dependency at a time when oil prices continue to rise to unprecedented levels. Urban sprawl, also known as suburban sprawl, is the spreading of a city and its Suburbs over rural land at the fringe of an urban area [44]

More specifically, the extension of Interstate 69 has seen organized opposition in a number of states along the route, most notably Indiana, Tennessee, and Texas. The State of Indiana ( was the 19th US state admitted into the union Tennessee ( is a state located in the Southern United States. Texas ( is a state geographically located in the South Central United States and is also known as the Lone Star State.
