State Road 9 in the U.S. State of Indiana is a long north-south state highway in the eastern portion of Indiana. Its southern terminus is near Columbus, Indiana at State Road 46, and the northern terminus is at the Michigan/Indiana state line between Howe, Indiana and Sturgis, Michigan, where it continues as M-66.
Some of Indiana 9 is divided highway and even freeway, but Interstate 69 largely supplants it as all but a regional route between Huntington and Anderson.

[edit] Miscellanea
The nickname of State Road 9 is utilized because three of Indiana's five Vice Presidents lived in cities along the route:
- Thomas A. Hendricks — Grover Cleveland's Vice President (1885) from Shelbyville
- Thomas R. Marshall — Woodrow Wilson's Vice President (1913-1921) from Columbia City
- J. Danforth Quayle — George H.W. Bush's Vice President (1989-1993) from Huntington
Indiana's other two vice presidents are also honored by the highway nickname:
- Schuyler Colfax — Ulysses S. Grant's Vice President (1869-1873) from South Bend
- Charles W. Fairbanks — Theodore Roosevelt's Vice President (1905-1909) from Indianapolis
[edit] Future toll road
The segment between Pendleton and Shelbyville, according to plans for the Indiana Commerce Corridor, is to be supplemented by an Interstate-quality tollway as an outer-loop of greater Indianapolis. Numbering for this highway is yet to be established.
