Group launches Mid-States Corridor site promoting road benefits
Hoosiers for the Corridor has launched a new website and social media accounts to educate the public about the Mid-States Corridor, a proposed 54-mile expressway that extends from I-64/US 231 to I-69 at the existing US 231 interchange.
According to organizers, the purpose of the new website is to develop communication channels that provide information to the community and address misconceptions of the corridor.
Colten Pipenger, Executive Director of Dubois Strong and Member of Hoosiers for the Corridor, anticipates that the new road will lead to some big improvements for the region.
“The Mid-States Corridor will be the force to drive economic growth for Dubois County. Unlocking this new North and South connection will help us build a stronger, more accessible, and more competitive region to secure our future,” Pipenger said. “But it will also make Dubois County safer by removing the semis from downtown Jasper, decreasing traffic congestion, and improving the environmental impact on air quality in our economic core. The new website and social media networks are part of our effort to effectively communicate the benefits of the Corridor with everyone.”
The website is available online at HoosiersForTheCorridor.com and it offers an overview of the Mid-States Corridor project and highlights the key benefits for southern Indiana residents in Dubois, Martin, and Daviess Counties.

The Corridor generally passes east of Huntingburg and the Jasper area, and extends north to connect to Interstate 69. The preferred route has been divided into five Sections of Independent Utility (SIU) for individual Tier 2 analysis. The Section 2 study extends from I-64, around Huntingburg and Jasper, to SR 56 at Haysville. It launched in July 2024 and is anticipated to take approximately three years to complete. Timelines for SIU 3, 4, and 5 have not yet been determined
Hoosiers for the Corridor is backed by the Mid-States Next Alliance, which is in support of the Mid-States Corridor. It is not affiliated with Mid-States Corridor RDA, INDOT, Lochmueller Group, or any other consultants or vendors associated with the Mid-States Corridor.
