Western terminus at Illinois Route 15, this usually congested bridge crosses the Wabash River to Mount Carmel, Illinois

State Road 64 in the U.S. State of Indiana is an east–west highway that crosses most of the southern portion of the state, covering a distance of about 107 miles (172 km).

Route description

State Road 64 begins at a bridge across the Wabash River at Mount Carmel, Illinois, connecting it with Illinois Route 15. It ends at Interstate 64 near Edwardsville. For the bulk of its length, it runs parallel to Interstate 64 and approximately 30 miles (48 km) north of the it. Most of the route is two-lane undivided highway, with undivided multi-lane segments in the city of Princeton near the junction of U.S. Route 41, and through the city of Huntingburg.

The stretch of State Road 64 between Princeton and Mount Carmel is scheduled to be transformed into a four-lane highway sometime around 2012 as part of Governor Mitch Daniels' Major Moves Project. This stretch of IN-64, currently a two-lane highway is often a very congested and sometimes very dangerous stretch of highway with numerous crosses along it referring to the stretch's numerous casualties.^{[citation needed]}

At the western end of this stretch are two very narrow bridges that typically handle^{[citation needed]} at least 900-1200 vehicles a day, doubling to ~2000 a day vehicles during Mount Carmel's Ag Days, Lone Ranger Festival, and other holidays. The road is heavily used by commuters to the Gibson Generating Station and residents of Mount Carmel and nearby cities in Illinois commuting to Princeton and cities and factories along U.S. Route 41. In April 2008 excavation began on a bridge to replace the current one spanning the Wabash River, and the bridge was completed in December 2010.
