Interstate 69 (I-69) presently has two discontinuous segments of freeway in the U.S. state of Indiana. The original 157.30-mile-long (253.15 km) highway, completed in November 1971, runs northeasterly from the state capital of Indianapolis, to the city of Fort Wayne, and then proceeds north to the state of Michigan (reaching its capital city, Lansing and beyond). This original section is also known as Segment of Independent Utility (SIU) 1 in the national plan for expansion of I-69.

The new 114-mile (183 km) segment in Southwest Indiana presently temporarily begins at the interchange with U.S. Highway 41 (US 41) and Veterans Memorial Parkway in Evansville and as of 9 December 2015^[update] temporarily ends at State Road 37 (SR 37) near Bloomington. Opened in phases in 2009, 2012, and 2015, this is the first major Indiana section completed of the planned national extension of I-69 southwest from Indianapolis via Paducah, Memphis, Shreveport, and Houston to the international border with Mexico in Texas. The portion of I-69 between US 41 and I-64 is also known as the Robert D. Orr Highway and originally existed as I-164.
