I didn't get any pictures of this. I-555 had a similar thing happen when it was initially granted IH status back in 2017 across the drainage ditch/Right Hand Chute Little River between exits 14-18.
I think they're waiting for a Congressional exemption to allow farm vehicles to use the bridge over the White River before they can sign that stretch as I-57. The bridge itself and the roadway on either side are all up to interstate standards, but because farmers use that stretch to get to their fields on either side of the river, it needs the Congressional exemption to allow farm vehicles. Same thing happened when they were trying to designate US-41 in Wisconsin as I-41.
