SR 44 has been relinquished by the Indiana Department of Transportation to the City of Franklin, starting at the intersection of SR 44 and SR 144 (approximately 1 mile west of US 31) and continuing eastward on Jefferson Street, Forsythe Street, and King Street until reaching the southbound ramps of I-65.  This section of roadway is no longer classified as State Highway.  Please correct your maps.  Continuing to list this section of roadway as State Highway encourages tractor-trailers to attempt to use the route between US 31 and I-65, resulting in a significant number of tickets being issued.  Trucks are prohibited on this route.  Please contact City Engineer, City of Franklin at 317-736-3631 for additional information.
