^Looking west from the intersection with Indiana 149 in South Haven, August 2024.

In Indiana, US Route 6 runs east-west across the northern part of the state, serving as the second main east-west US Route south of the Michigan border (US Route 20 is the northernmost such route).  US Route 6 enters Indiana from the west as a concurrency with Interstates 80 and 94.  Across most of Lake County, US Route 6 follows the two Interstates on a freeway, but creates a business alignment just to the south to serve as a surface road in Chicago's Indiana suburbs.  US Route 6 leaves Lake County at Hobart to head east on a surface highway connecting a series of small towns, staying south of South Bend and Elkhart, but north of Fort Wayne.  It leaves the state into Ohio, approaching Bryan, Ohio.

An older photo once was featured on this page, but it was since replaced by a newer photo. The newer photo is shown next, but the former photo is still available for viewing at the bottom of this page.

My photo for US Route 6 shows the westbound trailblazer seen by those leaving the 4-way intersection with Indiana Route 149, at South Haven, Indiana. The aperture looks west from the intersection, which I encountered in August, 2024.

The older photo, formerly featured on this page, is shown below.

My older photo of US Route 6 is in Hobart, where US Route 6 starts cutting north to join Interstates 80 and 94 west.  This is the southern end of the transfer of US Route 6 south along Indiana Route 51 so US Route 6 can head east on its own surface road.  This photo was taken looking north at a sign for northbound traffic on US Route 6 and Indiana Route 51, heading away from the junction where US Route 6 diverts east and Indiana Route 130 begins heading south.  You can see an Indiana Route 51 trailblazer in the background, as both US Route 6 and Indiana Route 51 follow the road shown in the picture.
