Route description
SR 128 begins at the concurrency of State Road 13 and State Road 37 on the western border of Madison County. The route heads east as a two-lane rural highway passing through farmland, with some houses. The road enters Frankton and makes a series of sharp curves. The road passes through residential properties, through Frankton. On the east side of Frankton, the highway makes a series of sharp curves leaving Frankton. East of Frankton the road heads east, passes through farmland with some houses. The eastern terminus of SR 128 is at SR 9 in rural Madison County. East of SR 9, the road continues as a county road through the remainder of Madison County. The county road becomes State Road 332 at an interchange with Interstate 69 just inside Delaware County.[2][3]
No segment of State Road 128 in Indiana that is included in the National Highway System (NHS).[4] The NHS is a network of highways that are identified as being most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.[5] The highway is maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) like all other state roads in the state. The department tracks the traffic volumes along all state roads as a part of its maintenance responsibilities using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). This measurement is a calculation of the traffic level along a segment of roadway for any average day of the year. In 2010, INDOT figured that lowest traffic levels were 1,200 vehicles and 110 commercial vehicles used the highway daily west of Frankton. The peak traffic volumes were 3,490 vehicles and 150 commercial vehicles AADT along the section east of Frankton.[6]
