I-69, US 36, and US 35 form Muncie's freight backbone, routing 40,000+ daily vehicles through food distribution, agricultural logistics, and automotive supply chains. Nestle Distribution Center (Anderson), Red Gold Distribution (Alexandria), and regional small-engine warehousing depend on uninterrupted I-69 access.
