Maybe it's a faulty memory, but I seem to recall Terre Haute being signed with St. Louis for WB I-70 on SB I-465 many years ago - might have been before the new airport interchange was built on I-70.

Yup, in both directions on I-465... removed in 2008 for the new airport access on I-70.

Based on what I can see on an INDOT traffic camera looks like northbound I69 traffic south of Epler got shifted back to normal lanes this weekend.  Still lane restrictions but a step forward.

I remember Terre Haute on the signs near the airport; wasnt Columbus IN a control city somewhere near downtown, or maybe on the southside? Or I am remembering the old Columbus OH signs...?

"Columbus OH" is still listed as a control city for 70 east on some signs near downtown Indy even today, though most are Dayton. I don't remember Columbus IN being on any.

Those signs days are numbered. That new project they announced to widen 65 from 70 to 465 on the Southside almost certainly will remove those signs.

I-55

Looking at traffic cameras this morning I saw from the Harding St exit that the BGS for Exit 5 is uncovered over the westbound lanes. Due to the low resolution and the cable blocking the camera you can't read anything on the sign but it is definitely uncovered now. They also appear to be laying the final approach concrete at the bridges near mile 3.

Drove the I-465 corridor - virtually complete west of Exit 5, just the lanes closest to the center closed. I-69 is also signed entirely from Exit 5 to Exit 37, looks like new shields too for I-465 and I-74.
Apparently I’m a fan of I-69.  Who knew.
