Indiana State Road 37
State Road 37 (SR 37) is a major route in the U.S. state of Indiana, running as a four-lane divided highway for a majority of its course in Southern and Central Indiana.
At one time, the route ran from the southwest corner of the state to the northeast corner. In the pre-Interstate Highway era, SR 37 was the most direct route between Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and Bloomington. Interstate 69 (I-69) has supplanted it as a through route, and SR 37 now consists of three disconnected segments, with the segment through Indianapolis being replaced entirely by I-69 in 2024. The longest segment starts at Tell City on the Ohio River and ends in Bloomington in south central Indiana. Another shorter segment resumes off I-69 and runs northeast to SR 9 in Marion. The other segment in northeastern Indiana runs from I-469 near Fort Wayne to the Ohio state line.
The southern segment of SR 37 begins at a junction with SR 66 near the Ohio River in Tell City. Angling northeast, it enters the Hoosier National Forest then turns north until it meets I-64 just north of SR 62 at St. Croix. SR 37 now continues north beyond I-64, to eventually meet SR 64 near Eckerty. These two routes then run concurrently to the east for about eight miles (13 km), where just north of English SR 37 departs to the north toward Paoli and SR 64 continues east toward Marengo. Just prior to reaching Paoli SR 37 leaves the National Forest. Once in town the route has a very brief (two-block) concurrency with US 150 and SR 56 to loop around the town square before it leaves to the north, heading for Orleans and Mitchell.
Until reaching Mitchell, SR 37 is a two-lane rural route with relatively light traffic. However, from this point north to Bloomington, the character of the road changes to become a major rural arterial route. At Mitchell the four-lane divided highway begins with a short concurrency of SR 60 on SR 37 as both routes skirt the edge of town. From there, SR 37 continues north to US 50 on the outskirts of Bedford. US 50 and SR 37 then run concurrently, curving northeast to cross the East Fork of the White River before turning north to bypass the center of the city on its west side. After US 50 leaves to the east, SR 37 proceeds northward to Bloomington, where it now meets up with I-69 to the southwest just outside of that city. This interchange marks the northern terminus of the southern segment.
The portions of SR 37 between Tell City and I-64, and from Paoli to Bedford, were designated as the Frank O'Bannon Highway, to honor the late former governor, following his death in 2003. Between the two SR 37 segments, the O'Bannon Highway designation follows SR 145, SR 56 and US 150 past Patoka Lake, through French Lick and West Baden Springs to Paoli.
SR 37 resumes as a four-lane freeway off exit 205 of I-69 in Fishers and heads northward. It has a few interchanges with local roads before the freeway segment ends north of 146th Street. SR 37 then passes just east of Noblesville, meeting SR 32 and SR 38 before leaving Noblesville proper.
Northeast of Noblesville, SR 37 reverts to a two-lane rural highway. Along the Hamilton—Madison county line, it runs concurrently with SR 13 until those routes split just south of Elwood. From there, SR 37 angles north-northeast to reach the northern terminus of the central segment at SR 9 just south of Marion.
The northern segment of SR 37 begins at a junction with I-469 on the northeast side of Fort Wayne. From there it runs northeast approximately 20 miles (32 km), passing through Harlan, to terminate at the Ohio state line near the Allen–DeKalb county line. The road continues northeast in Ohio as State Route 2, to Hicksville, Ohio and beyond.
