History

Indiana 2 has largely been replaced by the Indiana Toll Road (80/90) and by U.S. Route 20. Indiana 2 appears to be part of an old alignment from Kankakee, Illinois to South Bend, Indiana, and runs more diagonally than other east-west state highways in Indiana.

In Valparaiso, Indiana 2 has been rerouted around the downtown and central business districts of the city. Instead of traveling through the city along Washington Street, Indiana 2 overlaps U.S. Route 30 and the Valparaiso Bypass (State Road 49).

Several times in its history, Indiana 2 has run along the path of the Lincoln Highway.

Old Indiana State Route 2

Until the completion of the St. Joseph Valley Parkway around the South Bend - Elkhart area, Indiana 2 continued to downtown South Bend, mostly along Western Avenue (which remains, but no longer has state highway markers). State Road 2 originally followed the Lincoln Highway to Fort Wayne before US 33 supplanted it east of downtown South Bend.

Miscellanea

Just east of LaPorte, U.S. 20 and SR 2 "switch alignments" at a lighted intersection. That is, U.S. 20 follows the north and west legs of the intersection, while Indiana 2 follows the south and east legs.
