States with the most InterESTING Crossings

[jp the roadgeek]

Nothing spectacular about CT border crossings.  The only interesting one is the HRP/Merritt with an exit in NY, the state line, then an immediate exit for the same road just after the state line that is (for now) 3 numbers lower than the exit on the NY side.

I've taken the Cross Sound Ferry between New London, CT and Orient Point, NY and it's a really cool experience.  Yes, that's the most spectacular entry to CT - the views you get during that trip are gorgeous.

I-5 entering Washington from Oregon is interesting as I think it's the only active drawbridge on the interstate system.

The Bridge of the Gods across the Columbia is cool too in that it carries the Pacific Crest Trail too.

I-5 over Siskiyou Summit is interesting too.  US 97 has a nice view of Mount Shasta entering California on clear days.  US 101 of course enters Washington via the Astoria Bridge. 

The transition between California and Oregon via US 199 is pretty interesting due to the Collier Tunnel. 

Totally agree on Siskiyou Summit and the US-101 Astoria bridge.  The latter always makes me nervous driving across.  There's a lot of winds along that span!

It isn't, not by a long shot. The 3 other ones I can think of are the Woodrow Wilson Bridge on I-95, the Berkley Bridge on I-264, and the High Rise Bridge on I-64.

Here is a more extensive list:

I-695 over the Curtis Creek as well. The Wilson Bridge is also I-495.

The Nice Bridge, American Legion Bridge and I-81 Potomac River bridge are good.
