The Indiana department of transportation is still preparing for a November 19th opening of i-69 from Evansville to Crane.  
The segment is the first part of a southwest extension of the interstate through SouthwestI Indiana.
Indot spokeswoman Cher Elliott says the November opening is earlier than they expected.  Elliott says even with good and bad weather, the road will open up ahead of schedule.
The next segment-- from Crane to Bloomington-- is set to open in 2014.  The entire extension is scheduled for finishing by the end of 2016.
