Interstate 469 (I-469) is an Interstate Highway in the northeastern portion of the midwestern US state of Indiana. It is an auxiliary route of parent I-69 that also carries portions of US Highway 24 (US 24), US 30 and US 33 around the urban parts of Fort Wayne. In 2004, local officials named all 31 miles (50 km) of I-469 in honor of the late former US president Ronald Reagan.
I-469 begins at I-69, at exit 296, and Lafayette Center Road in southwestern Allen County. The interstate heads east, concurrent with US 33. The highway begins to turn southeast as a four-lane interstate, passing through farmland. The route has a diamond interchange at Lafayette Center Road East and at Indianapolis Road. The road begins to turn due east, passes just south of Fort Wayne International Airport before an interchange at the northern terminus of the southern section of State Road 1 (SR 1). This interchange serves the airport heading north on Bluffton Road. After Bluffton Road the highway begins to curve more to the northeast, having an interchange at Winchester Road. The interstate makes another curve going due east once again, moving into a residential area. Before the road curves back northeast is an interchange with US 27, US 33 leaves I-469 heading south concurrent with US 27.
After the interchange at US 27 the road curves northeast, having an interchange at Marion –Center Road. The road now enters a farmland with some houses, having an interchange at Tillman Road. The interstate passes southeast of New Haven having an interchange at Minnich Road. The interchange at Minnich Road also has access to Paulding Road. After the Minnich Road exit the road begins to curve due north on the east side of New Haven. The interstate has an interchange with US 30, this is the southern terminus of the concurrency between the two routes. This exit also gives access to SR 930 heading west towards New Haven and Fort Wayne. After the interchange at US 30 is a bridge on the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. Next is an interchange with US 24, this is the eastern end of the concurrency with US 24, heading northeast toward Toledo.
