^Looking north from Exit 1 in Jeffersonville, February 2022.

Interstate 65 is the most dominant north-south Interstate in Indiana, linking Gary and Chicagoland to Indianapolis, and then to the Louisville area.  Interstate 65 starts at the Indiana Toll Road, which carries Interstate 90, and cuts southeast through Lafayette to meet Indianapolis at Indiana's center; from there, Interstate 65 heads south through Columbus, Indiana, to cross the Ohio River into downtown Louisville, Kentucky. 

This page covers the portion of Interstate 65 in southern Indiana, from Bartholomew County south to the Kentucky border.  In other words, this page talks about mile markers 0 through 79 in Indiana. For points north of here, in central Indiana, including Indianapolis, click here.
