State Road 161 in the U.S. State of Indiana is a rural undivided north–south highway in the southwestern portion of the state.
Contents |
State Road 161 begins in Spencer County approximately nine miles southwest of Rockport at the northern end of the Glover Cary Bridge across the Ohio River. It goes north into Warrick County, where it has concurrencies with State Road 62 and State Road 68. At the north end of the county it passes over Interstate 64 three times in five miles (8 km), but the only interchange is at the last overpass. State Road 161 ends in Dubois County at State Road 64 approximately four miles west of Huntingburg.
The route of SR 161 was extended by nearly 12 miles (19 km) in the fall of 2002 when the Indiana Department of Transportation redesignated the former route of U.S. Highway 231 in Spencer County.
