State Road / Dixie B (1915)
Old State Rd 10 osr Indian trail? In 1915 talk of a multi-state highway began to emerge. Local leaders, businessmen, and citizens began to petition to have the route via Evansville. The Dixie Higway stretched from Florida to Chicago but it passed from Nashville to Chicago via Louisville and Indianapolis. A more westerly and direct route was sought and the Dixie B (or Dixie Bee) was proposed. Multiple local Dixie B associations were formed to promote each town's interest in having the highway come through their city. On November 5, 1915, the Dixie B Route was decided. It capitalized on existing roads and roughly aligned with the old State Highway 10 (replace or diff route?). Even at that time, there was talk of an Ohio River Bridge but that wouldn't happen for several more years.| STREET | DETAILS

IN 57 was billed as a more direct highway from Evansville to Indianapolis. The old SR 28 started in Winslow, connected to Petersburg, then Washington, and ended at IN 54 near Bloomfield). Evansville became the southern terminus and a new route? was built to Evansville bypassing the old Petersburg Road through McCuctchanville. It intersected with US 41 near the airport opposite Petersburg Rd. IN 57 officially opened Aug 28, 1928 with the dedication of new East Fork White River bridge at Rogers (northeast of Petersburg). The northern end was extended to IN-67 and the "short route" to Indy was complete.The highway would later be rerouted with airport addition in 1964. + Show research notes
Harmony Way (c1936)
Plans in early 1932 were looking at an improved route to New Harmony on IN 66. A new highway left Evansville north out St. Joseph Ave, curving near present day Diamond Ave. It continued in a fairly start line and connected with the existing New Harmony Rd just east of Kasson. Locally the entire new segment became New Harmony Rd and the older segment through West Heights adopted the name Harmony Way. Was the new addition harmony way? later swapped names? IN 66 Was segment in Posey County improved about the same time? The new route opened 8/12/36 Eventually becomes part of US460 / Diamond Ave and later is bypassed. + Show research notes| STREET | DETAILS

A West Side expressway was a top priority of the Evansville Chamber to Commerce. The new thoroughfare would provide a fast route and help spur development on the West Side. When planning began in 1951 several routes were considered including Ohio St and Fraklin St. When the route was ultimately selected in 1952, Pennsylvania St was selected for the West Side Expressway which is why sometimes early on you see it termed Penn Expressway.Phase One

I-64 (1968 / 1969 / 1971)
The idea was first discussed in 1956 with the passage of interstate system. As the "Crossroads of America," Indiana had its share of interstates but most went through Indianapolis. I-64 was proposed to traverse the southern part of the state connecting St Louis, Mo. to Louisville, Ky. but the exact route was up for debate. Orignally it was planned to follow close to US 50 closer to Vincennes, however officials settled on northern Vanderburgh Co. after a push for the interstate to come closer to Evansville.The entire I-64 would take several years to complete, and it was built in phases cutting accross undeveloped areas. Construction began near the Illinois border continuing eastward and sections near New Albany progressed to the west until they met in the middle.
Phase 1
The first portion of I-64 built in Vanderburgh Co. connected IL 1 just west of the state line to IN 65. Construction on the 18.5 mile section started in 1966. A ribbon cutting on Aug 1, 1968 marked its opening and with the road crossing state lines it was truly an "interstate."| STREET | DETAILS

Phase 2
The second section built in the area was an 8.2 mile span that connected IN 65 to US 41. A frontage road to the south where traffic was cut off by the interstate. A ceremony was held Oct 1, 1969 on the Wabash River bridge on the Indiana-Illinois border to mark its opening.| STREET | DETAILS

US 41 Reroute (1972)
As the automobile established dominance, many US highways the used to connect the heart of the town sought bypasses. reroute four lane giblert harlan-corridor proposed 1948-9 improvements in other roads left route in question willow south curve west toward harlan swing west to kerth back to harlan and out past leveeConstruction was scheduled to start 1965-7. The 6.23 mi route would extend from Southlane Dr to just north of Pigeon Creek 10/15/66 to start buying land franklin and south construction near nov 1969 Construction continued into 1971 with an estimated completion of summer 1972. In Summer 1972 the northern portion from Virginia St to Pigeon Creek opened, and later in the summer from Southlane Dr south to the levee where it connected to the existing US 41.
The new US 41 formally opened after a dedication ceremony on Nov 30, 1972. The design was "25 years out of date when they cut the ribbon" and helped Evansville earn the nickname "Stoplight City." The old 41 would become known as Business 41.

IN 62 Reroute (c1975)
IN 62 used to travel down Barker Ave to Howell and continued west on Broadway out past the county line. The old 1930s highway was a curvy two-lane country road. A new 4-lane highway was built harnessing some of the existing West Side Expressway. The new highway cut diagonally through Perry Township and met with the old route near St Phillips Rd. IN 62 was made a 4-lane divided highway all the way to Mt Vernon.| STREET | DETAILS

River Parkway / Ray Becker Parkway (1979)
Residents on the West Side knew well that a train could completely mess up travel time. Drivers would have to cross tracks on St Joe just south of Mead Johnson and would then re-cross on Broadway Ave at the 7-crossings to get to Howell. As far back as the 1920s, there was a desire to bypass this area the and improve travel to points farther southwest.In the early 1970s, the River Parkway project was given priority. It would bypass the Howell railroad tracks and provide a quick route especially for emergency vehicles which were at the mercy of a stopped train. During planning, one idea was a Barker Ave Underpass which was never realized. By early 1974, the 3/4 mile route between Ohio St and Barker Ave was chosen. When the design ended up cutting in the base of Reitz Hill, a deal was negotiated to swap for the training lot adjoining Howell Park. The parkway was renamed in March 1975 after the late Ray Becker, a city councilman who was a proponent of the project.
Ground breaking for the Ray Becker Parkway began October 29, 1975. There were delays and the 2-year project dragged on. Mead Johnson demanded access to their parking lot that was now cut off from Ohio St so the city agreed to build an underpass in summer of 1976. A mudslide at foot of Reitz Hill in December 1978 cost $940,000 to repair, which is why there is a large section of rip rap (rocks) at the bottom of the hill. The road finally opened October 26, 1979. As a final insult, a delay in acquiring the stop lights caused several accidents until they were installed.

I-164 (1990)
I-164, a spur of I-64, had been in the works for some time. Even as far back as 1964, a Circum-Urban was recommended to connect Evansville with the interstate that was routed way north of town. During the planning phase, western and central branches were proposed but eventually the eastern branch was selected. I-164 was initiallly planned to end at Division St or Newburgh Rd, but it was ultimately decided to connect all the way to Southlane Dr / US 41The interstate, a roughly 20 mile stretch from US 41 along the east side of the county to I-64, opened Aug 1990.
