US 50US 50 was one of the major cross-country routings when it was commissioned in 1926, and it has survived with a higher profile than some other, more major routings by dint of not being linked with an interstate route. US 50 extends from Vincennes to Lawrenceburg in Indiana. Much of the terrain is hilly, and the speed is often slow. On the extreme east and west ends of the state, however, the road is divided. |
