About US 152: | US 152 was a strange road, even by Indiana standards. It spent a major portion of its route co-signed with US 52, choosing to bypass Frankfort instead of going out of its way a few miles to serve it. While it seems to have been intended as the Indianapolis-Chicago route, it never entered into Chicago itself, choosing instead to stay fully within the state of Indiana; and it was decertified after four years on the map. In the end, its main effect would seem to be anywhere from one to three bridges on Indianapolis Boulevard between US 30 and US 20; all built with major structural framework above the roadway. |   | ||
About Ind 152: | Indiana 152 is a short route which serves as a connector between US 41 and US 20. in Hammond. It is entirely possible that this route was numbered this way before US 152 was decertified. | |||
Notice: | If there are any pictures shot in Indiana with the old US 152 sign on them, Scan and send them and I will post them NO MATTER WHERE THEY WERE TAKEN. | |||

Historical Southern Terminus for Indiana 152: | ||||
| This set of overhead signs is actually quite confused. My guess is that the rack was originally put up before I-80/94 was completed and that the rack directed people to the following roads (from left to right): South US 41 (sign up), Business US 6 (The signs that now appear to say "North Indiana 152; look at the second picture and you'll see the word "Business" where "North" has sort of faded), North 41 and North Indiana 152 (the missing sign). | |||

| 1934-36 northern terminus for US 152/present terminus for Ind 152: | ||||
 | Here's a view of the signage (and some of the bridge to the south) of the northern terminus for Indiana 152. This shot is taken before the intersection, and is the first signing of Indiana 152. | |||
 | Here's a shot slightly ahead of the above picture. It's a daytime view of the beginning part of Indiana 152, up to the bridge over the railroad tracks. | |||
 | Here's a shot of the endpoint of Indiana 152. The light gray bridge going over the roadway of US 20 is the South Shore Line (look for the South Shore commuter train stopped on the viaduct), just north of that is the Indiana Toll Road. | |||
