These signs were removed from Interstate 65 in Indiana during
reconstruction of that highway through Northwest Indiana.
Older expressway signs like these have plastic "button" reflectors (similar to traffic signs from the 1930s-1950s); new interstate signs have flat reflective letters with no marbles. Also, some states are transitioning to the new "Clearview" typeface.
These two roads have since been given "real" street names (E. 101st Ave. and E. 109th Ave. in northern Crown Point) and are no longer referred to as county roads.
The top sign is 6' x 2'; the bottom is 7' x 2'.
