[edit] History

Until 1972, SR 3 went through Fort Wayne. But with the completion of I-69, the section that went through Fort Wayne was turned back.^[1]

Until 1980, Indiana 3 was concurrent with Indiana 62 until it reached Interstate 65 in Jeffersonville.^{[citation needed]}

In 1990, the four-lane upgrade from the DeKalb/Allen County line north of Huntertown to Kendallville was completed, bypassing the towns of LaOtto and Avilla. This made Indiana 3 four lanes for the 25 miles (40 km) from I-69 in Fort Wayne to US 6 in Kendallville.^[3]

Currently, there are preparations in progress for widening about 3 miles (4.8 km) from s/o Ludwig Road in Fort Wayne to n/o Dupont Road in Allen County. This section of highway will be widened to six lanes and it is slated for completion in 2011.

[edit] Miscellanea

State Road 103, a branch of SR 3, never intersects with this route (the parent), although that route was the original routing of SR 3.^[4]
