Interstate 64 West
Interstate 64 & U.S. 150 west enter New Albany, Indiana ahead of the Exit 123 off-ramp. Exit 123 connects the Sherman Minton Bridge with Elm Street east to State Street and Indiana 111 (Main Street). Indiana 62 no longer uses this interchange as the route now follows Interstate 265 and Indiana 265 north of New Albany, Clarksville, and Jeffersonville. Photo taken 06/05/08.

Interstate 64 & U.S. 150 reduce to four overall lanes north of the bridge. Exit 123 departs here for Elm Street east at Scribner Drive. Indiana 111 (Main Street) passes underneath the bridge en route to downtown New Albany. Indiana 62 originally followed Corydon Pike west from Main Street in New Albany and Spring Street east to Clarksville. Photo taken 06/05/08.
Reassurance markers posted for Interstate 64 & U.S. 150 west after Exit 123. Photo taken 11/12/04.
A directional interchange ties Interstate 64 & U.S. 150 west with Interstate 265 east and Indiana 62 at Exit 121. Interstate 265 provides a bypass route north of New Albany and Clarksville between Interstates 64 and 65. Photo taken 11/12/04.
Exit 121 leaves Interstate 64 & U.S. 150 west for Interstate 265 & Indiana 62 east. Indiana 62 joins Interstate 64 & U.S. 150 west from Exit 121 to 118 (Edwardsville). Interstate 265 will eventually link with the Kentucky Interstate 265 as part of the Ohio River Bridges project; currently the Interstate designation ends at Interstate 65 with Indiana 265 spurring east to Port Road. Photo taken 11/12/04.

Interstate 64 East
Interstate 64 & U.S. 150 continue east from the west end of Interstate 265 into New Albany. Exit 123 departs ahead for Spring Street to Main Street (Indiana 111). Spring and 5th Streets used to carry Indiana 62 west to West Main Street and Corydon Pike, but that route now follows Interstate 64 west from Interstate 265. Photo taken 11/04/09.
Drivers approach the Sherman Minton Bridge across the Ohio River at the Exit 123 folded-diamond interchange with Spring Street (former Indiana 62). Indiana 111 travels south from downtown New Albany along River Road to southern Harrison County and north via Vincennes Street to Charlestown Road (former U.S. 31W and Indiana 311). Photo taken 11/04/09.
Eastbound travelers enter the lower deck of the Sherman Minton Bridge at the Ohio River. Three eastbound lanes travel one mile to the split with Intestate 264 (Exit 1) in Louisville. Photo taken 11/04/09.
