Interstate 164 (abbreviated I-164) is a spur highway of Interstate 64 in Evansville, Indiana. Interstate 164, also known as the Robert D. Orr Highway, has a total length of 21.24 miles (34.18 km).^[1] Requested as an interstate and approved in 1968, the highway was completed in 1991.

The highway is signed north-south as it wraps around the east side of the city; however, the southern part of the route leading to U.S. Highway 41 is signed east-west. After intersecting with U.S. Highway 41, the highway turns into the Veterans Memorial Parkway and provides a direct connection to the downtown business district.

A planned extension of Interstate 69 will utilize much of the existing route of Interstate 164 and eventually create a new international trade corridor from Canada to the Rio Grande Valley.

The north end of I-164 will connect with the southern Indiana portion of I-69. The new I-69 will continue across the Ohio River southward from the present I-164 on a new bridge, heading southward.
