'''State Road 37''' ('''SR&nbsp;37''') is a major route in the U.S. state of [[Indiana]], running as a four-lane divided highway for a majority of its course in [[Southern Indiana|Southern]] and Central Indiana.
At one time, the route ran from the southwest corner of the state to the northeast corner. In the pre-[[Interstate Highway]] era, SR&nbsp;37 was the most direct route between [[Fort Wayne, Indiana|Fort Wayne]] and [[Indianapolis]]. [[Interstate 69 in Indiana|Interstate&nbsp;69]] (I-69) has supplanted it as a through route, and SR&nbsp;37 now consists of three disconnected segments, with the segment through Indianapolis being replaced entirely by I-69 in 2024. The longer segment starts at [[Tell City, Indiana|Tell City]] on the [[Ohio River]] and ends in [[Bloomington, Indiana|Bloomington]] in south central Indiana. Another shorter segment resumes off I-69 and runs northeast to [[Indiana State Road 9|SR&nbsp;9]] in Marion. The other segment in northeastern Indiana runs from [[Interstate 469|I-469]] near Fort Wayne to the [[Ohio]] state line.
== Route description ==
=== Southern segment ===
The southern segment of SR&nbsp;37 begins at a junction with [[Indiana State Road 66|SR&nbsp;66]] near the [[Ohio River]] in [[Tell City, Indiana|Tell City]]. Angling northeast, it enters the [[Hoosier National Forest]] then turns north until it meets [[Interstate 64 in Indiana|I-64]] just north of [[Indiana State Road 62|SR&nbsp;62]] at [[St. Croix, Indiana|St. Croix]]. SR&nbsp;37 now continues north beyond I-64, to eventually meet [[Indiana State Road 64|SR&nbsp;64]] near [[Eckerty, Indiana|Eckerty]]. These two routes then run concurrently to the east for about {{convert|8|mi|km|spell=in}}, where just north of [[English, Indiana|English]] SR&nbsp;37 departs to the north toward [[Paoli, Indiana|Paoli]] and SR&nbsp;64 continues east toward [[Marengo, Indiana|Marengo]]. Just prior to reaching Paoli SR&nbsp;37 leaves the National Forest. Once in town the route has a very brief (two-block) concurrency with [[U.S. Route 150 in Indiana|US&nbsp;150]] and [[Indiana State Road 56|SR&nbsp;56]] to loop around the town square before it leaves to the north, heading for [[Orleans, Indiana|Orleans]] and [[Mitchell, Indiana|Mitchell]].
Until reaching Mitchell, SR&nbsp;37 is a two-lane rural route with relatively light traffic. However, from this point north to [[Bloomington, Indiana|Bloomington]], the character of the road changes to become a major rural arterial route. At Mitchell the four-lane divided highway begins with a short concurrency of [[Indiana State Road 60|SR&nbsp;60]] on SR&nbsp;37 as both routes skirt the edge of town. From there, SR&nbsp;37 continues north to [[U.S. Route 50 in Indiana|US&nbsp;50]] on the outskirts of [[Bedford, Indiana|Bedford]]. US&nbsp;50 and SR&nbsp;37 then run concurrently, curving northeast to cross the [[White River (Indiana)|East Fork of the White River]] before turning north to bypass the center of the city on its west side. After US&nbsp;50 leaves to the east, SR&nbsp;37 proceeds northward to Bloomington, where it now meets up with [[Interstate 69 in Indiana|I-69]] to the southwest just outside of that city. This interchange marks the northern terminus of the southern segment.
The portions of SR&nbsp;37 between Tell City and [[Interstate 64 in Indiana|I-64]], and from [[Paoli, Indiana|Paoli]] to [[Bedford, Indiana|Bedford]], were designated as the Frank O'Bannon Highway, to honor the [[Frank O'Bannon|late former governor]], following his death in 2003. Between the two SR&nbsp;37 segments, the O'Bannon Highway designation follows SR&nbsp;145, SR&nbsp;56 and US&nbsp;150 past Patoka Lake, through [[French Lick, Indiana|French Lick]] and [[West Baden Springs, Indiana|West Baden Springs]] to Paoli.
=== Central segment ===
SR&nbsp;37 resumes as a four-lane freeway off exit&nbsp;205 of I-69 in [[Fishers, Indiana|Fishers]] and heads northward. It has a few interchanges with local roads before the freeway segment ends north of 146th Street. SR&nbsp;37 then passes just east of [[Noblesville, Indiana|Noblesville]], meeting [[Indiana State Road 32|SR&nbsp;32]] and [[Indiana State Road 38|SR&nbsp;38]] before leaving Noblesville proper.
Northeast of [[Noblesville, Indiana|Noblesville]], SR&nbsp;37 reverts to a two-lane rural highway. Along the [[Hamilton County, Indiana|Hamilton]]—[[Madison County, Indiana|Madison]] county line, it runs concurrently with [[Indiana State Road 13|SR&nbsp;13]] until those routes split just south of [[Elwood, Indiana|Elwood]]. From there, SR&nbsp;37 angles north-northeast to reach the northern terminus of the central segment at [[Indiana State Road 9|SR&nbsp;9]] just south of [[Marion, Indiana|Marion]].
=== Northern segment ===
The northern segment of SR&nbsp;37 begins at a junction with [[Interstate 469|I-469]] on the northeast side of Fort Wayne. From there it runs northeast approximately {{convert|20|mi|km}}, passing through [[Harlan, Indiana|Harlan]], to terminate at the [[Ohio]] state line near the [[Allen County, Indiana|Allen]]–[[Dekalb County, Indiana|DeKalb]] county line. The road continues northeast in Ohio as [[Ohio State Route 2|State Route&nbsp;2]], to [[Hicksville, Ohio]] and beyond.
== History ==
=== Southern segment ===
SR&nbsp;37 was once a section of the [[Dixie Highway]] from Indianapolis to Paoli.
In the 1950s, SR&nbsp;37 ran north of Bloomington on the roads now called Cascades Drive and Old&nbsp;37 to the northern end of Monroe County. South of Bloomington, SR&nbsp;37 followed Walnut Street Pike, Fairfax Road, Valley Mission Road, Guthrie Road, and Kentucky Hollow Road (Old&nbsp;37) to [[Oolitic, Indiana|Oolitic]]. These were replaced in the late 1950s and early 1960s with the straighter sections called College Avenue and Walnut Street north of Bloomington and the sections called Walnut Street and Old&nbsp;37 (Kentucky Hollow Road) south to Oolitic. As soon as the current four-lane SR&nbsp;37 was finished in 1976, a portion of Kentucky Hollow Road was abandoned north of Oolitic and a stone quarry that was alongside SR&nbsp;37 for years consumed the road.<ref>{{cite map |author = Monroe County, Indiana |title = Map of Bloomington and Monroe County |orig-year = 1954 |year = 1964 |publisher = Monroe County |location = Monroe County, IN }}</ref><ref>{{cite map |author = Rand McNally |year = 1963 |title = Rand McNally 1964 Road Atlas |publisher = Rand McNally |location = Chicago |page = 37 }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref>
SR&nbsp;37 now turns to the east and is concurrent with [[Indiana State Road 64|SR&nbsp;64]] from Eckerty to English, where it exits the eastbound highway and rejoins the old route. The old, winding stretch of 37 from I-64 at exit&nbsp;86 north to English has been designated as [[Indiana State Road 237|SR&nbsp;237]]. Between 2009 and 2014, this change also eliminated the SR&nbsp;37 concurrency with I-64 between that route's exits&nbsp;79 and 86.
=== Bloomington to Indianapolis ===

[[File:I-69 Construction Indiana.jpg|thumb|Construction on upgrading SR&nbsp;37 to I-69 in [[Monroe County, Indiana|Monroe County]] in 2017.]]
Before 2024, SR&nbsp;37 ran continuously from the northern end of the southern segment at I-69 southwest of Bloomington north to the Indianapolis area. This segment was gradually upgraded and reopened with [[Interstate Highway standards]], with I-69 gradually extended concurrently along SR&nbsp;37. After completing this segment of I-69 in August&nbsp;2024, SR&nbsp;37 signage was removed, truncating it and splitting it further into three disconnected segments.
=== Indianapolis ===
[[File:Perry Township, Indianapolis, IN, USA - panoramio (2).jpg|thumb|The at-grade intersection of SR&nbsp;37 and Southport&nbsp;Road in Indianapolis in 2013; it was reconstructed as a [[diamond interchange]] for I-69.]]
SR&nbsp;37 originally ended at the junction of SR&nbsp;35 (SR&nbsp;135) and US&nbsp;31 at Meridian and South Streets downtown. The route that became SR&nbsp;37 was initially numbered SR&nbsp;13 in Marion and most of Hamilton Counties. SR&nbsp;13 began at Meridian and Michigan Streets, then the junction of US&nbsp;31, SR&nbsp;13, and SR&nbsp;367.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1939 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref>
SR&nbsp;13 followed Meridian St. (US&nbsp;31) north to Fall Creek Parkway N. Drive, where it turned northeast. SR&nbsp;13 then followed Fall Creek and Allisonville Road to Strawtown in Hamilton County, where what is now SR&nbsp;37 was undesignated until 1940. In 1940, the portion from north of Strawtown to south of Elwood was made part of SR&nbsp;13. From south of Elwood to Marion, the road now SR&nbsp;37 was numbered SR&nbsp;15.<ref name="ReferenceB">{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1940 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref> By 1945, the entire route described above became a continuation of SR&nbsp;37 from the south side of Indianapolis. SR&nbsp;37 was designated along Michigan Street (westbound) and Vermont Street (eastbound) from Meridian Street to West Street (at the time US&nbsp;36, SR&nbsp;29, and SR&nbsp;67). SR&nbsp;37 then turned south on West Street until it became Bluff Road, which was already part of SR&nbsp;37. (This also removed the Bluff Road section of SR&nbsp;37 from the state road system, removing the connection with SR&nbsp;135.)<ref name="ReferenceC">{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1945 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref>
In 1953, the state rerouted SR&nbsp;37 to overlap US&nbsp;36/SR&nbsp;67 along 38th Street starting at Fall Creek Parkway.<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1953 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref> (This would be part of the route the road would follow until decommissioning in 1999 or 2000.) The three roads would be multiplexed from 38th and Fall Creek, to 38th and Northwestern Avenue (now Dr. MLK Jr. Street), then south along Northwestern Avenue and West Street until the above-mentioned location at Michigan and West streets.
In 1957, construction was started on the Noblesville Bypass of SR&nbsp;37. This bypass was designed to go to the east side of Noblesville, through Fishers, and along a newly constructed road in Marion County to connect to Fall Creek Parkway just north of the then route of SR&nbsp;37 (Allisonville Road).<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1957 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref> One of the "quirks" in the design of the new SR&nbsp;37 was a five-point intersection with SR&nbsp;100, at the corner of Shadeland Road (now Avenue) and 82nd Street. By 1958, SR&nbsp;37's Noblesville bypass was completed to the junction with SR&nbsp;100 from the north. SR&nbsp;37 then was rerouted along 82nd Street to Allisonville, where it turned south to connect to Fall Creek Parkway has it had for the previous 35&nbsp;years.<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1958 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref> By 1959, the new route was completed, and the Allisonville Road route was renumbered SR&nbsp;37A.<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1959 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref>
In the early to mid-1960s, two changes were made to SR&nbsp;37. One which would eventually become part of I-69: interchanges were built at SR&nbsp;100 and 116th Street, as well as a connection to the under construction I-465. The second was the construction of an exit ramp (now exit&nbsp;4) on I-465 for the eventual construction of a Bluff Road bypass through southern Marion and northern Johnson Counties.<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1965 |edition = 1965–66 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref>
In 1967, there were two SR&nbsp;37s on the south side of Indianapolis: one along Bluff Road and one along the Bluff Road bypass. The two did not directly connect at all.<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1966 |edition = 1966–67 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref> By 1969, SR&nbsp;37 was multiplexed with US&nbsp;31 (along Meridian, North, Pennsylvania/Delaware, Madison and East streets) to I-465/I-74 at what is now exit&nbsp;2. The route was multiplexed with I-465/I-74 between exits&nbsp;2 and 4. This caused the Bluff Road route to be abandoned in its connections to the state road system, so it was decommissioned. Some unofficial maps listed Bluff&nbsp;Road as SR&nbsp;37A for some time after this, although the state of Indiana never recognized it as such.<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1969 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref>
By 1972, I-69 was completed along the SR&nbsp;37 corridor from I-465 to where it had ended to that point at the junction with SR&nbsp;37 Noblesville bypass (now exit&nbsp;205).<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1972 |edition = 1972–73 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref>
SR&nbsp;37 stayed much the same until 1999 or 2000 when all state and US highway designations were completely removed from inside the I-465 loop. SR&nbsp;37 was then officially rerouted along I-465 along Indianapolis's east and south sides. The interchanges for SR&nbsp;37 from I-465 were exit&nbsp;4 and exit&nbsp;37.
In August 2024, SR&nbsp;37 was removed entirely from the Indianapolis area, as I-69 had largely replaced it south of Indianapolis. SR&nbsp;37 used to run on what is now I-69 until just south of exit&nbsp;162, just south of I-465, before turning slightly northeastward to meet I-465 at exit&nbsp;4. It then routed eastwards along the eastern half of I-465 to exit&nbsp;37, splitting concurrently with I-69 and following I-69 before meeting with the southern terminus of the central segment, where it splits off at exit&nbsp;205 like it does today.
=== Central and northern segments ===
In 1940, the section of SR&nbsp;37 from its current northern junction with SR&nbsp;13 to Marion (west of its current routing) was designated SR&nbsp;15. Another section that was to become SR&nbsp;37, from Fort Wayne northeast to the Ohio border, was already designated SR&nbsp;14.<ref name="ReferenceB"/>
By 1945, SR&nbsp;37 had been routed along its current route from Rigdon to the south of Marion to the junction of SR&nbsp;9.<ref name="ReferenceC"/> SR&nbsp;37 was then overlapped along SR&nbsp;9 from that junction to Huntington, then with US&nbsp;24 from Huntington to Fort Wayne. The state then moved SR&nbsp;14 from what became SR&nbsp;37 to what was SR&nbsp;230.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
In Fort Wayne, the combined US&nbsp;24/SR&nbsp;37 followed Upper Huntington Road (now Jefferson Boulevard) until it met with SR&nbsp;14 at Illinois Road. Just beyond that junction, the three routes split into a [[one-way pair]], with Jefferson Boulevard and Maumee Avenue handling eastbound traffic and Washington Boulevard used for westbound travel. East of downtown, SR&nbsp;37 departed the pairing with US&nbsp;24/SR&nbsp;14, turning north onto Anthony Boulevard to cross the [[Maumee River]]. Roughly {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} later, the route turned northeast onto Crescent Avenue, which becomes Stellhorn Road at Hobson Road/St. Joe Road as it curves to run due east. Finally, SR&nbsp;37 turned (later curved) onto Maysville Road, angling northeast again and then passing where an interchange would eventually be built with the I-469 beltway (where the north segment of this state road now begins).
In the 1970s, an expansion of the Anthony Boulevard section to four lanes was planned; this was successfully [[Lobbying|lobbied]] against by the North Anthony Neighborhood Association.<ref>{{Cite web |author = North Anthony Neighborhood Association |title = northanthony.com |url = https://northanthony.com/ |access-date = July 24, 2024 |publisher = North Anthony Neighborhood Association |language = en }}</ref>{{failed verification|date=July 2024}}
By 1980, the official multiplex along SR&nbsp;9 and US 24 was decommissioned<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1980 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref> (although there is a reference to SR&nbsp;37 being multiplexed along I-69 around the west side of Fort Wayne in 1980, that reference was gone by 1982).<ref>{{cite map |title = Official Indiana Highway Map |year = 1982 |edition = 1982–1983 |author = Indiana State Highway Commission |location = Indianapolis |publisher = Indiana State Highway Commission }}{{full citation needed|date= January 2016}}</ref> This created the northern section of SR&nbsp;37, with its origin point located at Crescent Avenue and Coliseum Boulevard (then [[U.S. Route 30 in Indiana|US&nbsp;30]], now [[Indiana State Road 930|SR&nbsp;930]]) in Fort Wayne. When I-469 was completed, the mileage between Coliseum Boulevard and I-469 was decommissioned and returned to local control.
To improve traffic flow along SR&nbsp;37 north of where it branches off I-69, the communities of Fishers and [[Noblesville, Indiana|Nobleville]] started a project to reconstruct drainage lines and remove five signalized intersections.<ref name="Improvements">{{cite web |title = Be Informed |url = https://37thrives.com/be-informed/#impact-improvements-section |website = State Road 37 |access-date = May 8, 2023 }}</ref> Work on the drainage lines was started in September 2018 and completed by February 2020 while the 135th Street intersection was converted to a pair of [[right-in/right-out]]s.<ref name="Schedule">{{cite web |title = SR37 Updated Schedule September 2022 (Subject to Change) |url = https://37thrives.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Schedule-SR37-09-14-2022.pdf |website = State Route 37 |access-date = May 8, 2023 }}</ref> The other four intersections are to be converted into interchanges and will be completed in phases. Phase three converted the East 146th Street intersection into a [[single-point urban interchange]] while phases one and three converted the intersections at East 126th Street and East 131st Street to [[dogbone interchange]]s.<ref name="Improvements" /> These phases were completed by September 2022.<ref name="Schedule" /> In January 2023, pre-construction on the final phase, which will change the 141st Street intersection to a dogbone interchange, changed the intersection to right-in/right-out to improve traffic flow.<ref name="141st">{{cite web |title = Updates |url = https://37thrives.com/updates/ |website = State Road 37 }}</ref> A timeline for construction of the interchange was to be provided once project bids are made in summer 2023,<ref name="141st" /> and was tentatively scheduled to begin in September 2023 and be completed by October 2025.<ref name="Schedule" /> However, the cost of construction and labor rose due to other construction projects in central Indiana, and the bid process was delayed by six months.

'''State Road&nbsp;37A''' ('''SR&nbsp;37A''') ran from [[Indianapolis, Indiana|Indianapolis]] to [[Noblesville, Indiana|Noblesville]] from 1959 until the 1970s. Beginning sometime between 1957 and 1959, the designation SR&nbsp;&nbsp;37A was first used for the old routing of SR&nbsp;37 between Indianapolis and Noblesville.<ref name="map1957">{{INDOT map|year=1957|access-date=August 27, 2016|link=yes|v-link=yes}}</ref><ref name="map1959">{{INDOT map|year=1959|section=G7–H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref> The southern end of the road was moved to [[Indiana State Road 100|SR&nbsp;100]] in late 1963 or early 1964.<ref name="map1963">{{INDOT map|year=1963|section=G7–H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref><ref name="map1964">{{INDOT map|year=1964|section=G7–H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref> In late 1964 or early 1965 the route was shortened at the north end, with the new end being at an intersection with SR&nbsp;32 and SR&nbsp;38.<ref name="map1964"/><ref name="map1965">{{INDOT map|year=1965|section=G7–H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref> In late 1969 or early 1970 the designation of SR&nbsp;37A in Hamilton County was removed.<ref name="map1969">{{INDOT map|year=1969|section=G7–H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref><ref name="map1970">{{INDOT map|year=1970|section=G7–H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref> The state highway commission removed the last segment of SR&nbsp;37A in Marion County in either late 1972 or early 1973.<ref name="map1972">{{INDOT map|year=1972|section=H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref><ref name="map1973">{{INDOT map|year=1973|section=H7|access-date=August 27, 2016}}</ref>
SR&nbsp;37A (Allisonville Road) began at its southern terminus with its parent route, SR&nbsp;37 (now Binford Boulevard), near the [[Indiana State Fairgrounds]]. The route traveled northeast crossing 52nd and 56th streets, Kessler Boulevard East Drive, and 62nd, 65th, 71st, 75th, and 79th streets, before it reached an intersection with East 82nd Street near [[Castleton Square|Castleton Square Mall]]. The route then interchanged with [[Interstate 465]] (I-465 exit&nbsp;35), followed by intersections with 86th, 91st, and 96th streets, then crossed into [[Hamilton County, Indiana|Hamilton County]] and the town of [[Fishers, Indiana|Fishers]].
In Fishers, the route intersected East 106th Street near [[Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport]]. The route intersected 116th, 126th, and 131st streets, then passed by [[Conner Prairie|Conner Prairie Interactive History Park]]. The route then crossed 141st and 146th streets, entering the city of Noblesville. Just south of downtown Noblesville, Allisonville Road turned north and becomes South 10th Street. In downtown, the route reached an intersection with [[Indiana State Road 32|SR&nbsp;32]]/[[Indiana State Road 38|SR&nbsp;38]] (Conner Street). North of downtown, the route once again turned northeast and became Allisonville Road. The route then intersected East 191st Street. After East 191st Street, the route turned east and crossed Cumberland Road. After Cumberland Road, the route turned southeast and reached its northern terminus at its parent route, SR&nbsp;37 (Strawtown Pike) on the far north side of Noblesville.
