Closest numbered highway to where you were born

Do you know what the closest numbered highway is to the hospital or wherever you were born? I was looking around Baltimore on Google Maps yesterday and came across my birthplace, Johns Hopkins, whose south side borders U.S. Route 40 (Orleans Street). So it made me curious what everyone's is.

Interstate 23³

STV100-2

I don't get it. 23³ = 12167, which is not an Interstate or junction of two Interstates. Even if you didn't mean "cubed", I-23 and I-233 do not exist.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

M-10 or rather what would have been US 10 at the time.

Community Drive (Nassau CR 11A).  If unsigned county routes don't count, then either Northern Boulevard (NY 25A) or the Long Island Expressway (I-495).  North Shore Hospital is about halfway between them.

Parkview Wabash Hospital is located on BUS US 24/IN 13.

It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

Lynn Hospital where I was born no longer exists but it was near MA 107 at the time.  Post-1996, the nearest route to the site is MA 129.

I have lived about a mile away from the 101 my entire life. The 27 is about three miles away.

It was CT 71A at the time.  Also at the time, CT 72 followed CT 372, as the CT 72 expressway was under construction.  With the truncation of CT 71A, it would now be about a 4 way tie among CT 71, CT 71A, CT 72, and CT 372 (not counting SR 555).


Interstate: I-84 (although the proposed I-291 hadn't been killed/demoted to CT 9 yet)
US Route: About a tie between US 5 and US 6 (city I was born in does not have a US route)
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

Are you just looking for a numbered highway regardless of being state, US or Interstate?

I'll just answer for all three of them:
State highway: M-58 would probably be the closest although M-13 isn't too far away either.
Interstate: I-675 (Michigan).
US Highway: US 23 (runs multiplexed with I-75 for 73 miles between Flint and Standish).
