Local naming conventions for long multiplexes

[mukade]

In Indiana:

At least around where I used to live, the US 35/SR 22 concurrency was called "22". US 31/US 35 in Kokomo is "US 31".

The I-69/SR 37 concurrency in Indy and Fishers is always "I-69".

I rarely hear I-80/90 called with both numbers, or even with numbers at all. It's either Indiana Toll Rd in Indiana or Ohio Turnpike (or just Turnpike) in Ohio.

I never hear it called 80/90. Like you said either Indiana Toll Road or Ohio Turnpike. Once 80 gets to the Borman though I've heard people call that 80/94.

I would say about 50% call it the Borman, 40% 80/94, and 10% just 80.

When I lived in NWI and Chicagoland, most people called the Indiana Toll Road, "the Toll Road".

I agree on the Borman percentages, but again based on when I lived up there, on the Illinois side "the Kingery" was not heard too often. I think it was mainly called "80-94" in Illinois. West of the split of I-80 and I-94, the road was called "the Tri-State" (not I-294 or I-80).

73rd Avenue in Merrillville and Ross Twp. was often called "330" even though SR 330 was short-lived and long gone. I suspect that is a thing of the past.

The real Indiana question: What will the completed freeway between I-465 and Bloomington be called commonly? "New"  I-69 or stick with IN SR 37?

I think SR 37 will be decommissioned from Bloomington to Fishers.....   so I-69.

Never know. Sometimes old habits die hard

I've never heard anybody refer to 73rd Avenue as 330. I have heard it called Joliet St.

That was back in the 70s and is why I said it is probably a thing of the past. Joliet St. is the name of the road in Schererville.
