HIGHWAY SYSTEM
The Indiana Toll Road (I-80 and I-90) is often referred to as the “Main
Street of the Midwest”. This is a misnomer. As the map shows below,
it is actually the Main Street of the U.S.
 Locally, this convergence of major highways (and railways) is referred
to as the I-80/Lake Michigan effect. Virtually all cross-country east/west
traffic generated north of I-80 and east of Lake Michigan passes through
St. Joseph County, Indiana. As a result, the interstate, state and local
transportation systems serving the St. Joseph County, Indiana area have
developed as one of the nation’s strongest, from both a facility
and a services perspective.
