Line 41:
*I-69 will follow US 61 and US 51 through the Memphis area. While in the area, it will overlap with I-55, I-240 and I-40. Also, construction has begun on a new bypass route, called I-269.
*From Memphis, I-69 will continue into [[Evansville, Indiana]]. The route will pass through the cities of Millington, Covington, [[Ripley]], [[Dyersburg]], Troy, [[Union City]], and South Fulton, Tennessee; [[Mayfield]], Eddyville, Princeton, [[Madisonville]], and [[Henderson, Kentucky]] (via the Purchase Parkway, I-24, Western Kentucky Parkway and Pennyrile Parkway); and then cross the [[Ohio River]] into Evansville.
*Finally, I-69 will continue to its original southern terminus in Indianapolis via US 41, I-465 and various Indiana state routes. The specific route was a matter of some contention in local [[Indiana]] politics.
*I-69 could stop in Mexico at any of the following towns: in [[Laredo]] (via US 59), [[McAllen]] (via US 281), or [[Brownsville]] (via US 77). Since no one knows exactly where it will end, suffixes have been applied to it: I-69A, I-69C and I-69E. However, because federal law prohibits suffixed Interstate numbers (except for I-35 in Texas and Minnesota), two of the routes would most likely be made spurs of I-69. Two of the three potential routes meet at [[Victoria, Texas]], where I-69 will continue into Houston via US 59.
