Indiana State Road 912
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Known along its entire length as Cline Avenue, SR 912 is a freeway north of the Borman Expressway (Interstates 80-94), and a local access road serving Griffith south of the Borman. Indiana 912 can be considered a child route of U.S. Route 12.
The freeway runs east from exit 3 of the Indiana Toll Road past the Gary/Chicago International Airport, and then south, also having an interchange with Toll Road exit 10. This freeway is about 10 miles (16 km) long. This is the only State highway in Indiana the majority of which is of interstate quality. This portion also serves several of the steel mills (many now owed by Mittal Steel Company) and casinos in East Chicago and Gary, Indiana. The north-south portion between approximately U.S. 20 and the Borman Expressway follows the border between Gary and Hammond, Indiana.
South of the Borman Expressway, Cline Avenue becomes a 4-lane divided highway. Indiana 912 extends south 1 mile (1.6 km) to Ridge Road (Business U.S. 6).
Before the construction of the expressway, portions of Truck Route 912 were on Kennedy Avenue.
