I-69 south of Indianapolis

Uh... you know that I-69 between Indianapolis and Martinsville is to be complete by 2024? A interstate connecting Indianapolis to Evansville is sorely needed as there was no way to get to Evansville prior to the I-69 extension up to Bloomington and north to Martinsville. Also, Bloomington was the largest city in Indiana with no US routes or Interstates.

Heh.  I lived in Bloomington.  IN 37 has always been serviceable, so there was a way to get to Evansville.

That said, the "missing spoke" is welcome.

I-69 southwest of Kentucky then. I can maybe see the gaps between the Tennessee state line and I-465 being filled in my lifetime, but I wouldn't hold out hope for the rest.

Also, I think you meant "no good way," which would be fair to argue as an opinion.
