State Road 641 - Vigo County

Indiana State Road 641

Indiana 641 is a newer state road, created as a freeway bypass of the south side of Terre Haute to connect Interstate 70 with U.S. 41/U.S. 150. The projected 6.2 mile highway will help aid motorists who travel from Indianapolis to Evansville via the I-70/U.S. 41 route by bypassing the heavily commercialized section of U.S. 41/U.S. 150 south of its Interstate 70 interchange. If the new Interstate 69 were to be built along the I-70/U.S. 41 route it would have followed this freeway, but even with the I-69 corridor being moved elsewhere INDOT agreed on building the bypass anyway.

The new freeway begins at a trumpet interchange with U.S. 41/U.S. 150 and heads northeast to a folded diamond interchange with McDaniel Road. Northeast from there, it will intersect with Indiana 46 at a new diamond interchange along Riley Road before turning north toward Interstate 70. The interchange with Interstate 70 and Indiana 641 should have movements from the east and the south free-flowing. The project started in 2008 and is scheduled for final completion in 2014. The section from U.S. 41/U.S. 150 to McDaniel Road was completed in 2010. This guide covers that section.
