If you have traveled on I-94, tell me what part of the highway you have traveled on. (I live right next to I-94 maybe you passed my house :-P)

As for myself, I have traveled from Detroit to Chicago.
Interstates Traveled: 80, 90, 190, 290, 294, 94, 194, 96, 196, 75, 275, 69, 469, 65, 465, 165, 565, 55, 40, 640, 17, 10, 110, 610, 5, 405, 11, 71, 24, 20, 12, and 59.

The three portions I've driven on:

1) The short concurrency with I-69 in Port Huron, MI
2) From I-69 near Marshall, MI to I-294 near Chicago (which passes Kalamazoo)  :)
3) From I-90 NW of downtown Chicago to the Loop

Billings, Montana to Belfield, North Dakota and Monticello, MN to Port Huron, MI.  I'll probably clinch the rest of the route through North Dakota and Minnesota in June of 2017.

I lived in the Twin Cities for 37 years.  Almost the whole thing.  Didn't do the part in Michigan other than in Detroit itself but otherwise have done the whole road.   The North Dakota stretch is definitely one of the most boring roads I've ever been on.

I've been on it from US-53 in Eau Claire, WI, to the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, MI.

All of it except from US-85 (Medora, N.D.) to US-52/281 (Jamestown, N.D.).

dcharlie

All of it except the section between I-75 in Detroit to the Junction with I-69 near Port Huron

Billings to the west side of Detroit.

From 1969 to 1971, I could hear it from my house (so my mom tells me) as I lived on ML Ave in Comstock Park (I was born at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo, by the way!)

Between 1978-1989 I had been on it many times in the Chicago area, or going to/from Michigan to/from Chicago, including an epic trip in a snow storm with my then fiancee in 1989 to Detroit from Chicago.

Been on all of it from just west of the US 10 terminus in West Fargo, ND to the east end at Port Huron. Driving the rest from Fargo to Billings next month.

Yep. Downtown Milwaukee to I-69 (which would have passed your house), and the section that's concurrent with I-39.
Davenport, IA -> Valparaiso, IN -> Ames, IA -> Orlando, FL -> Gainesville, FL -> Evansville, IN

I've driven all of it from downtown Chicago to downtown Detroit, as well as Madison (WI) to Saint Cloud (MN).  I've also ridden Greyhound on it from near O'Hare to Milwaukee, and I have hitchhiked on it from Paw Paw (MI) to South Holland (IL), switching rides in Benton Harbor.

I have been on it from I-69 to US-23 in Michigan and again from St. Joseph, MI to Milwaukee, WI.

Fargo (I-29) to Port Huron (Blue Water Bridge).  I take the section from South Holland (I-294/80) to Detroit often enough in addition to the Dan Ryan Expressway section.

As long as we're talking about I-94, why does it have a section near Chicago that is south of the 80/90 concurrency? That has always bothered me, since it puts 94 out of the grid alignment for a time.

I don't remember why that came about but, if you flipped the numbers around, then the Indiana Toll Road would change numbers for no good reason other than making OCD roadgeeks feel better.

If you go back to the pre-mid-1960s numbering, I-94 switched to the Toll Road at Burns Harbor, and followed the Toll Road and Skyway to the Ryan.  I-90 switched with I-80 at Burns Harbor and followed the Borman and Calumet Expressways to the Ryan.  In the mid-1960s, the numbering was simplified by keeping I-90 on the Toll Road, and I-94 on the Tri-State Highway/Borman Expressway.

By the way, it is never south of the I-80/90 concurrency (with the exception of the 1/4 mile needed for the interchange) as I-80 switches from the Toll Road to the Borman when I-94 crosses the Toll Road.  East -> I-94 and I-80/90; West -> I-90 and I-80/94.

I know where that is :biggrin:

That is weird. It doesn't really make it the northernmost east to west interstate then.

Nope.  The northernmost east-west Interstate highway would be A2 in Alaska.  Ignoring the ones in Alaska, I-96 is north of I-94 in Michigan, so the Indiana Toll Road is irrelevant as far as that goes.

But, be that as it may, I-94 is south of I-90 for a grand total of, what? 29 miles.  I'd say that hardly "makes it" anything.

I have been on I-94 in four different states.
