State Road 49 (SR 49) in the U.S. State of Indiana is a state highway in northwest Indiana. It runs from just north of Chesterton, at the intersection with U.S. Route 12 (Dunes Highway) south, to a rural interchange, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Rensselaer, with State Road 14. This is a distance of about 44.15 miles (71.05 km).

Route description

The southern terminus of SR 49 is in Wheatfield at State Road 14 (SR 14). SR 49 heads north from Wheatfield toward Valparaiso, just south of Valparaiso SR 49 becomes a four-lane divided highway. Then in Valparaiso SR 49 has an interchange with U.S. Route 30 (US 30). After the US 30 interchange, SR 49 and State Road 2 have an interchange. Then SR 49 leaves Valparaiso heading north toward Chesterton having an interchange with U.S. Route 6, Interstate 80/Interstate 90/Indiana Toll Road, Interstate 94, U.S. Route 20, and U.S. Route 12.
