[edit] Route description
[edit] Southern section
Indiana State Road 1 begins at an interchange of Interstate 275. Just after the interchange there is a stop light at U.S. Route 50 (US 50). SR 1 travels 14.53 miles (23.38 km) north-northwest until it reaches I-74; just beyond I-74 it crosses Indiana State Road 46 (SR 46). SR 1 continues north until it meets U.S. Route 52 (US 52) just west of Cedar Grove. Then US 52 and SR 1 continue north-northeast for 5.78 miles (9.30 km) until they reach Brookville; here, US 52 turns west on its way to Indianapolis, while SR 1 continues north-northwest for 16.81 miles (27.05 km) where it meets Indiana State Road 44 (SR 44). SR 1 and SR 44 travel together for 0.47 miles (0.76 km) where SR 1 turns north-northeast towards downtown Connersville. North of Connersville, SR 1 travels north-northwest until it reaches Cambridge City, where SR 1 crosses U.S. Route 40 (US 40). After the intersection at US 40, SR 1 heads north-northeast. After 2.90 miles (4.67 km) SR 1 has an interchange with Interstate 70 (I-70), then heads due north towards U.S. Route 36 (US 36). SR 1 turns east onto US 36 for 1.01 miles (1.63 km), then leaves US 36 and travels generally due north until it reaches Fort Wayne. Just south of Fort Wayne, SR 1 ends at an interchange with Interstate 469 (I-469).
[edit] Northern section
Just north of Fort Wayne at the Dupont Road exit on Interstate 69 (I-69), SR 1 begins and heads north-northeast until it meets Indiana State Road 8 (SR 8). After a 1.04 miles (1.67 km) concurrency with SR 8, SR 1 heads due north until just south of Indiana State Road 427 (SR 427). In Hamilton SR 1 begins a concurrency with SR 427 that lasts for 0.84 miles (1.35 km). Then SR 1 turns north and continues to its northern terminus at U.S. Route 20 (US 20).
[edit] History
[edit] Lawrenceburg
SR 1 began at US 50 and Main Street in Lawrenceburg and traveled north on Main Street until Main Street became Ridge Avenue. It then followed Ridge Avenue until it met the current SR 1.
[edit] Fort Wayne
Before I-469 was complete, SR 1 followed Bluffton Road heading north, then turned northeast on to Bear Field Thruway, later known as Airport Expressway. SR 1 followed Bear Flied Thruway until the intersection of U.S. Route 27 (US 27). SR 1 followed US 27 until the interchange with I-69, where SR 1 then exited at Dupont Road.
