State Road 3 in the U.S. State of Indiana is a discontinuous state road running through east central Indiana from near the Michigan state line to near the Ohio River. The southernmost terminus is at State Road 62 in Charlestown, and the northernmost terminus is at State Road 120 near Brighton.

The route was continuous until 1972, when the route was split into two segments that exist today.

History

Until 1972, SR 3 went through Fort Wayne. But with the completion of I-69, the section that went through Fort Wayne was turned back.

Until 1980, Indiana 3 was concurrent with Indiana 62 until it reached Interstate 65 in Jeffersonville. Fact|date=March 2007

In 1990, the four-lane upgrade from the DeKalb/Allen County line north of Huntertown to Kendallville was completed, bypassing the towns of LaOtto and Avilla. This made Indiana 3 four lanes for the 25 miles from I-69 in Fort Wayne to US 6 in Kendallville.

Miscellanea

State Road 103, a branch of SR 3, never intersects with this route (the parent), although that route was the original routing of SR 3. [ [http://illi-indi.com/EndsPage.php?id=1103&section=1 Indiana Highway Ends - SR 103] ]
