Indiana State Road 249
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Road 249 in the U.S. State of Indiana is a 1.5 mile (3 km) connector highway north of Portage northwest Indiana. It exists to connect U.S. Route 12 and Interstate 94, and also to provide easy access to both highways from the Port of Indiana. It is marked as Crisman Road for its entire length, and is a four-lane divided highway.
Port of Indiana traffic can then easily access the Indiana Toll Road from Interstate 94.
Indiana 249 has no relation to State Road 49. The highway is physically located on the grid system between Indiana 49 and Indiana 51. As no odd numbers exist between 49 and 51, 249 was chosen as a compromise.
