U.S. state ofIndiana cuts north-south through western Posey County. Originally, the highway was between New Harmony and Mount Vernon. Eventually SR 69 was connected to Interstate 64 at the Griffin exit and rerouted to bypass New Harmony. In Mount Vernon, SR 69 was extended all the way down to Hovey Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area. In the late 1990s, SR 69 was routed onto the new William Keck Bypass on the eastern side of Mount Vernon.Because of its status as a connector between
Southwind Maritime Centre andInterstate 64 , State Road 69 has exceptionally wide shoulders throughout much of its route, especially in the section north of Mt. Vernon.From south to north, the highway serves the towns of Mount Vernon, Farmersville, Solitude, New Harmony, and Griffin.
