Ronald Reagan Parkway (Indiana)

Ronald Reagan Parkway and Ameriplex Parkway is a parkway-type road named in part after former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The road was commissioned in the 1990s, and the initial one-mile (1.6 km) section from U.S. Highway 36 to County Road 100 N (CR 100 N) was completed in 1996. It was later extended to CR 200 N. The segment from CR 200 N to CR 300 N opened in early 2015.[1] Construction on the section from CR 300 N to the existing road connecting to US 136 began in 2015 and was completed in late 2017. Another extension via SR 267 to I-65 is planned to be opened by 2020.
