Interstate 64 (I-64) in the U.S. state of Indiana is a major east–west highway providing access between Illinois and Kentucky. It passes through Indiana as part of its connection between the two metropolitan areas of St Louis, Missouri, and Louisville, Kentucky.
I-64 has a route through the state which travels through mostly rural areas, but the final portion of the route is encompassed by the Louisville metropolitan area. The highway enters Indiana after crossing the Wabash River from Illinois. It passes through Posey and Vanderburgh counties, where it connects with U.S. Highway 41 (US 41), and I-69 which travels south to Evansville and north to Bloomington. Continuing eastward, I-64 passes through Warrick County before straddling the Spencer–Dubois county line, which is also the boundary between the Central and the Eastern time zones. It continues into and through Perry County (back in the Central Time Zone), before crossing into Crawford County where from that point on it remains in the Eastern Time Zone. This portion of the route also travels through Hoosier National Forest. Beyond the forest, the interstate travels through Harrison and Floyd counties before crossing the Sherman Minton Bridge over the Ohio River into Louisville, Kentucky.
