Indiana Highway Ends

Old State Road 2 Old SR 2 was one of the original Main Market Highways designated by the state highway commission in 1917. When created, it followed the path of the Lincoln Highway - going from northwest Indiana to South Bend, Elkhart, and Fort Wayne. When created on June 1, 1917, it was described as "the road beginning at the Indiana and Illinois state line, extending thence easterly through Dyer, Schererville, Merrilville, Deepriver, Valparaiso, Westville, LaPorte, New Carlisle, South Bend, Mishawaka, Osceola, Elkhart, Dunlap, Goshen, Ligonier, Limmel, Wolf Lake, Churubusco and Fort Wayne to the Indiana and Ohio State line". In the 1920s, the path changed to coincide much more with the current routing of US 30. In 1926, this route became US 30.
