State of the Interstate

This page includes a summary of progress on all 32 I-69 sections of independent utility nationwide. More detailed commentary on each segment can be found by following the links in the first column.

Note that “Estimated Completion” refers to when the route is likely to be open at Interstate standards and may partially depend on particular routing decisions and the availability of funding.

In addition, sections are color coded based on the current planning and construction status of the route, according to Federal Register notices:

DEIS Draft environmental impact statement preparation is underway; potential corridors are being considered. [22 SIUs] (This also includes environmental assessment processes, where a determination of whether or not to proceed with a full EIS is involved.)
FEIS Final environmental impact statement preparation is underway or complete; a specific corridor has been selected. [2 SIUs]
Tier 2 DEIS Certain parts of the I-69 corridor (between Evansville and Indianapolis, and along the Trans Texas Corridor) are being studied using a two-tier EIS process. This portion of the process refines the corridor determined in Tier 1 to a specific alignment. [1 SIU]
