|
| Traveling along the south side of Terre Haute, motorists approach the last of the Terre Haute exits, that with SR 46 (Exit 11) east and the split with U.S. 40. SR 46 begins and travels southeast to Riley as U.S. 40 follows the former state road alignment northward to its original path along Wabash Avenue. 03/18/12 |
|
| The distance sign preceding the Canal Road underpass still references only SR 46 as the succeeding exit east of U.S. 41/150. The forthcoming exchange was rebuilt as part of the expressway bypass for SR 641 to the south. Exit 11 A departs in three miles. 03/18/12 |
|
| I-70/U.S. 40 run east along the south side of Terre Haute to Exit 11 A for SR 641 south and Exit 11 B for the continuation of U.S. 40 east.

SR 46 south overlaps with SR 641 for 1.2 miles to a dumbbell interchange. 03/18/12 |
|

|
| Initially paralleling Interstate 70 to the north, SR 42 parallels the freeway east to Mooresville. The original construction of Interstate 70 took most of the traffic off of U.S. 40, which stays to the north through Seelyville, Brazil and Harmony. 03/18/12 |

| The lone Clay County exit along Interstate 70 is the diamond interchange with SR 59 near Prairie City. 03/18/12 |
|
| SR 59 constitutes a 79.5 mile long route between Sandborn and Waveland. In 1968, INDOT unsuccessfully lobbied for an Interstate 63 corridor leading south from the Brazil area to Evansville to provide a route between Indianapolis and southwest Indiana. Construction of Interstate 164 was a result of that original proposal. 03/18/12 |
|
| Heading north, SR 59 runs four miles to Billville and the Clay County seat of Brazil. Southward the state road intersects SR 42 nearby by Prairie City before continuing to Clay City and Linton in Greene County. Several truck stops surround the rural cross roads. 03/18/12 |

|
| Interstate 70 passes south of Moser Hill on the ensuing stretch east from Cloverdale. 03/18/12 |
|

|
| Intestate 70 continues in an east-northeast direction toward the Putnam-Morgan County line and the greater Indianapolis area. 03/18/12 |

|
| Interstate 70 crosses Mill Creek and enters the northwestern corner of Morgan County a half mile from Exit 51 for County Road 1100 West. 03/18/12 |
|
| Guide signs Exit 51 for in Morgan County abbreviate County Road 1100 West as CR instead of Co. Rd. as on the previous sign. 03/18/12 |
|
| The diamond interchange at Exit 51 joins I-70 with County Road 1100 West just north of Little Point and SR 42. North Little Point Road connects with County Road 550 West to Stilesville in southwestern Hendricks County. Continuing to follow I-70 to the south, SR 42 heads east toward Monrovia and south toward Eminence. 03/18/12 |
|
| Monrovia is the next community (via SR 39 off of Exit 59) at 11 miles in distance. Mooresville is 19 miles away with Indianapolis at 30 miles. It's about a half-hour drive to the center of Indianapolis at this point. 03/18/12 |
|
| Interstate 70 in between Exits 51 and 57 heads through more of the typical Central Indiana terrain of agricultural fields as it leaves the hillier terrain of Putnam County. Interstate 70 will remain on mostly flat ground for at least the next 200 miles until the highway passes Columbus, Ohio. In the second picture, the interstate enters Hendricks County for the first time. 03/18/12 |
|
| SR 39 crosses paths with Interstate 70 at a diverging diamond interchange (Exit 59) near Center Valley. The state road connects the freeway with Monrovia 2.7 miles southward and Belleville (U.S. 40) 3.3 miles to the north. 03/18/12 |

|
| Exit 68 leaves the Interstate 70 eastbound mainline and partitions into separate ramps for Ameriplex Parkway and Ronald Reagan Parkway.
