Interstate 69 (I-69) currently has two discontinuous segments of freeway in the US state of Indiana. The original 157.8-mile-long (254.0 km) highway, completed in November 1971, runs northeasterly from the state capital of Indianapolis, to the city of Fort Wayne, and then proceeds north to the state of Michigan (reaching its capital city, Lansing and beyond). This original segment is also known as segment of independent utility 1 (SIU 1) in the national plan for expansion of I-69.

At present, the 152.7-mile (245.7 km) segment in Southwestern Indiana temporarily begins at the interchange with U.S. Route 41 (US 41) and Veterans Memorial Parkway in Evansville and, as of December 16, 2022, temporarily ends at the State Road 144 (SR 144) interchange in Bargersville, concurrent with SR 37. Between I-64 and Bloomington, four new terrain sections have opened in phases in 2009, 2012, and 2015 as part of the planned national extension of I-69 southwest from Indianapolis, Indiana, via Paducah, Kentucky; Memphis, Tennessee; Shreveport, Louisiana; and Houston, Texas, to the international border with Mexico in Texas. The portion of I-69 between US 41 and I-64 is known as the Robert D. Orr Highway and originally was designated I-164. This newer, southern segment is divided into SIUs 3 and 4, with SIU 2 being the existing segment of I-465 on which I-69 will eventually run concurrently around Indianapolis.
