A new drone video offers never-before-seen aerial views of I-69 Section 4, which opens to traffic between Crane and Bloomington before the end of this year. Indiana Department of Transportation premiered the video at this week’s I-69 Regional Summit hosted by the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce.

The 13-minute video is available on INDOT’s YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/41Pqh2DHsK4. It shows 360-degree views of the State Road 45, County Line and State Road 37 exits as well as major bridges along the 27-mile construction project.

Because I-69 Section 4 is being built in areas inaccessible to the public, a drone was used in late October to capture footage showing construction progress. The drone was operated by a licensed pilot with engineering consultant Lochmueller Group under a Federal Aviation Administration commercial authorization.
