The footprint of I-69 that uses the State Road 37 corridor through Johnson County and Perry Township is finalized in the Tier 2 Final Environmental Statement issued by the Indiana Department of Transportation. 
Interchanges are to be constructed at Indiana 144 just south of Johnson County, Smith Valley Road, County Line Road, Epler Avenue and I-465 with a new I-69/I-465 interchange just east of White River. 
Section 6 includes 26 miles of new interstate and 18 miles of new service roads.

I-69 is trimmed from proposed six lanes to four lanes north of Ind. 144 to County Line Road. 
There is no timetable for design, real estate or construction north of Martinsville.

“Even though construction won’t begin for some time, survey crews will continue to work collecting information required for final design and construction,” INDOT spokesman Andy Dietrick said. 

The 1,700-page FEIS is available online at http://ww.I69indyevn.org. Printed copies are available at Southport Library, 2630 E. Stop 11 Road, and Johnson County Library,  State Road 135 and Smith Valley Road.
