SPEEDWAY, Ind. — If you’re coming into town for the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 you may notice a brand new welcome sign as you approach the Hoosier border.

The new IN Indiana interstate signage is expected to increase awareness of Indiana as a place to visit, work and live. Governor Eric Holcomb, the Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC) and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) unveiled the new signs Thursday, May 18 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

We are proud to begin this project in three key locations throughout the state, with the vision of all of Indiana’s entryways featuring the IN Indiana logo as a welcome to the Hoosier state.

The 19 interstate signs will be installed by Friday, May 26. That’s just enough time before the major influx of visitors attending the Indy 500 or the world’s single-largest sporting event which will bring around 300,000 people to IMS.

INDOT will also install 57 more entry signs along non-interstate routes.
