Interstate 164 (I-164) was a spur highway of I-64, between that highway and U.S. Highway 41 (US 41) in Evansville, Indiana. I-164, also known as the Robert D. Orr Highway, had a total length of 21.24 miles (34.18 km) and was the only auxiliary route of I-64 in Indiana. Requested as an Interstate and approved in 1968, the freeway was opened to traffic on August 2, 1990.[citation needed]

On November 15, 2013, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced that 20.70 miles (33.31 km) of I-164 would be renumbered I-69, an action completed in late 2014. The highway thereby became part of an extended I-69 whose route will run north from the Texas border with Mexico to the Michigan border with Canada near Port Huron.[3]
