Construction began on the Bloomington-Martinsville segment in late 2014.
Evansville to Bloomington took from 2008 to 2015
Took this quote from Construction Digest - because the INDOT website is now basically a "data dump" site - where the meaningful and helpful is hopelessly hidden amongst the trivial, and also full of self-serving "whack your proud government on the back" crap.

“The original section of Interstate 69 in Indiana, from the Michigan state line to the northeast side of Indianapolis was completed in 1971 and is approximately 157 miles.
