I will separate 2 and 3DI's given the obvious major differences in length, so "closest to clinching" is relative.
2DI: I-70 - I am missing between the Park and Ride and Frederick/US 15 on the east end, and US 6/191 to I-15 on the west end.
3DI: I-170 (MO) - I am only missing between I-70 and I-270. I will probably get it the next time I go to a Cardinals game.
2di: As a percentage, I'm closest on I-70 (97.14%). By mileage, I'm closest on I-30 (15.4 miles)
3di: I-270 in IL/MO, completed 96.24% and missing 1.9 miles.
I think it's best to do these by percentage, otherwise I think my lowest 2di is I-87 in North Carolina and I haven't been on it.
For 2dis, I'm at 90% or above on three:
I-55 (99%) - I'm missing between Cicero and its northern terminus
I-80 (91%) - I'm missing three different stretches (between I-71 and I-76 in Ohio, between I-680 and I-99 in Ohio/Pennsylvania, and between I-280 and I-95 in New Jersey)
I-29 (90%) - I'm missing between Fargo and Grand Forks
For 3dis, I'm at 65% or above on three:
I-275 (FL) (73%) - I'm missing from I-4 north to I-75
I-295 (DE/NJ/PA) (71%) - I'm missing the loop around Trenton from I-195 to I-95
I-610 (TX) (66%) - I'm missing from the Hardy Toll Road eastbound to I-45

That is probably mine too, but I'm even closer than you are - just missing between I-64 and Forest Park Pkwy. Either that or I-229 in SD, where I'm only missing between Benson Rd and I-90.
For 2dis it's pretty clearly I-16 for me. I only need the little bit east of I-95.
For long 2di routes... The only parts of I-35 I'm missing are (1) north of Hinkley, MN, and (2) the southernmost four miles in Laredo. With never any reason to go to Duluth, though, I don't see a clinch happening anytime soon. That's about 5% unclinched.
For shorter 2di routes... I don't think I've ever been on the northernmost 18 miles of I-57 in Chicago. That's about 4½% unclinched.
For 3di routes... I really don't know.

I was betrayed, however, by I-355 in Chicago. I had clinched it many times over, and then it was extended after I moved away.
I might not actually have any "close" clinches on 3di routes: I think all the ones I've driven are either fully clinched or not even close.
I-255 in MO/IL: 80% clinched, haven't driven between the southwestern endpoint and IL-3. That's probably the 3di that comes nearest to being a "close" clinch.
2di: I-78. I have 95.5% and am missing the part from Exit 14A through the tunnel to the route's end in New York. Close second is I-87, of which I have 94.1% and am missing the entire section south of the point east of the Hudson where I-287 splits off.
3di: I-476 in Pennsylvania. I have 99.79% and am missing only the piece shown here (Travel Mapping says I'm missing 0.28 of a mile) (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/41.4818193,-75.6830624/41.4790761,-75.6854978/@41.4796343,-75.6840161,17.33z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0). I'm almost of a mind just to call it close enough.
Of 2DI's I am closest to clinching I-55, missing the segment between I-294 and I-90 / I-94.
Fully clinched I-4 in Florida.
Have a few others well on the way.
Several 3di's fully clinched.
2di: Clinched I-82, am about 37% done with I-84.
3di: Close to getting I-105 in CA, as I took most of the LA Metro's Green Line in the median of that one.
For I-70, I only need the section between I-15 and US 6/191 at Green River.
I-66 - missing VA-234 to US-17 at Marshall
I-30 - missing I-20 to I-35W
I-59 - missing between I-459 junctions
I-83 - missing MD-462 to I-81

Basically, all you're missing is an irrelevant piece of a convoluted interchange which just happens to lie beyond the ramps to I-81. For all practical purposes, I-476 ends at I-81, and that connection to US 11 is just an offshoot of the I-476/I-81 interchange.
You can't even argue that it's part of a potential extension because it's heading right back
towards the part of I-476 that you just came from. There's even a
project in the works to make a direct connection to I-81 (https://www.patpconstruction.com/scrantonbeltway/default.aspx) which will almost certainly remove the I-476 designation from that part of the interchange.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I have all of I-476 clinched except for this technicality as well. I don't use Travel Mapping, but if I did, I'd absolutely count that piece of I-476 and call the entire route clinched.
2di:
I-30. I have 99.4% clinched and 2.24 miles to clinch between exits 77 and 79 (thought it was even less than that).
3di:
I-190 (NY). Have 97.6% clinched. All that is left is between the last exit and the Canadian border: 0.68 miles.

93% of I-95; 129 miles remaining (mostly north of Bangor, Maine)
88% of I-41; 21 miles remaining (between Green Bay and Appleton)
85% of I-85; 99 miles remaining (south of Richmond)
98% of I-490 around Rochester; 0.67 miles remaining
97% of I-295 in Maine; 1.18 miles
93% of I-495 in Delaware; 0.68 miles
Of the Interstates I keep track of, here are my stats:
I-55 66% 630 / 960
I-90 63% 1900 / 3020
I-70 60% 1290 / 2150

Sure, it's the connection to US 11...
from I-81. It's completely irrelevant to traffic connecting between I-476 and I-81. It's basically a coincidence that you can even access US 11 from I-476. If it wasn't for the convoluted I-81/I-476 connection, there would be no access between US 11 and I-476.
With that said, the reason I'd call it clinched is because I strongly disagree with the I-476 designation extending beyond the ramps to I-81. You shouldn't need to use that section to clinch I-476, especially given the following:
(1) It's a glorified exit/entrance ramp
(2) It's only two lanes (and possibly not to interstate standards?)
(3) As mentioned, PennDOT/PTC have a direct I-476/I-81 connection in their long-term plans, which would remove the I-476 designation from this segment.
At this point it's just being picky. I'd just call it clinched and call it a day.

If you haven't traveled from the big curve all the way to US 11, you have not clinched I-476.
Of course not counting the Interstates already 100% clinched. I count 67 such Interstates (most of them are very short 3di)
Closest to clinching (by distance):
Any: I-395 (Maine) - only need 0.22 miles (95.6% clinched)
2di: I-11 - only need 14.85 miles (34.3% clinched) - yeah, kind of silly to include this.
Closet to clinching (by percentage):
Any: I-395 (Maine) - 95.6% clinched. Only need the stub from I-95 to its western end at US 2.
2di: I-77 - 94.4% clinched. Only need the portion between Akron and Cleveland.
Besides I-71 and I-78, which I've clinched, the following are 2di I've traveled at least 60% of:
I-26: 218/306 (71%), missing portion north of I-40/240
I-74: 285/417 (68%), missing portion west of I-55
I-39: 202/306 (66%), missing portion north of I-90/94
I-76: 288/435 (66%), missing portions between I-79 and I-376, and east of US 15
I-68: 71/113 (63%), missing portion west of US 40/US 219
I-77: 389/613 (63%), missing portions between I-64 and US 30, and north of I-76
I-75: 1118/1786 (62%), missing portions south of Florida's Turnpike and north of I-94
I'll look at my 3di later.

I may have been on I 24 when I was 5 or 6. I remember the trip but the I 24 section if it happened was in the dark so if I was on I 24 anywhere north of nashville, I don't count it. I say that as I have been on all of I 24 from the beginning of the I 65 duplex all the way down to chattanooga and a few years ago got the other end of I 24 east to the western kentucky parkway. that middle section I need to get. quite doable in a day or a weekend vacay in nashvegas.
second one to clinch is I 65 south of I 85. that one I definitely have not been on. but that trip to clinch (as well as 3 and 4 on my list I 90 and 80) will have to be dedicated road trips to finish.

Are you saying the milemarker is lying?
Also, who's to say that there wouldn't have been access between US 11 and I-476, or that it won't go there when the direct connection is built (which looks more like a pair of ramps than a realigned mainline or interchange replacement; it's very half-assed).

No, only that the funky U-shape routing is, in typical PA fashion, the result of a bungled interchange design.
I actually
don't think there's any real reason to suspect that there would have been access between US 11 and I-476 if the I-81/I-476 junction was built properly to begin with. The first I-476 crossing of US 11 (over the valley) is much too high for an interchange, and a direct interchange with I-81 wouldn't even go near US 11 for a second time.
Information on the proposed improvements is rather sparse, but whatever ends up happening, it would be despicable not to remove the I-476 designation from the US 11 connector. It's unjustifiable even as it is now, much less with an improved connection to I-81.
2di: I-76 (W) at 90.49%, missing the portion west of E-470
3di: I-476 at 99.8%, missing the controversial US 11 connection :sombrero:
Second closest is I-390 at 85.8%, missing the portion north of I-90 (NYS Thruway)
Probably I-70 and I-64.
I-70: just over 75% - from Exit 259 in Colorado (the Morrison/Red Rocks exit west of Denver) to the exit for I-270 in Frederick, MD
I-64: about 81% - everything except for the stretch in Virginia east of Exit 120 (Charlottesville)
I'm pretty damn close on I-90, missing only:
1. in MN, between US 63 and US 52 south of Rochester, 9 miles.
2. in NY and MA, between I-787 in Albany and US 20 near Lee, MA, 42 miles.
3. from the pre-Big Dig I-90/93 junction in (below) Boston to Logan Airport; let's call it 4 miles.
55 miles short due to (a) wanting to see what the Mayo Clinic looked like, (b) family in Bennington, VT, and (c) no need to go to Logan (I avoid airports and airport approach roads like the plague when possible!).
For 2di's, the only one I have clinched is I-88 in Illinois. I assume I-66 is the 2di I am closest to clinching, as I have all except everything west of exit 13 and east of the Beltway. I also have zero chance of actually clinching it anytime soon.
For 3di's, the closest I am to clinching is I-435, where the only piece I am missing is the section between I-49/I-470/US 71 and Bannister Road.
2di: I-96. I'm just missing the segment between I-94 and I-75.
3di: I don't think there are any that I've traveled on more than half but not all. I think I-295 (Jacksonville) is my closest, in terms of both mileage and likelihood of clinching.

It's the connection between I-476 and US-11 (https://goo.gl/maps/kk5onEdXMpRpb1xK6).
Yes, but ...
Quote from: webny99 on August 27, 2021, 04:31:06 PM
It's basically a coincidence that you can even access US 11 from I-476. If it wasn't for the convoluted I-81/I-476 connection, there would be no access between US 11 and I-476.
Are you saying the milemarker is lying?
Also, who's to say that there wouldn't have been access between US 11 and I-476, or that it won't go there when the direct connection is built (which looks more like a pair of ramps than a realigned mainline or interchange replacement; it's very half-assed).
No, only that the funky U-shape routing is, in typical PA fashion, the result of a bungled interchange design.
I actually don't think there's any real reason to suspect that there would have been access between US 11 and I-476 if the I-81/I-476 junction was built properly to begin with. The first I-476 crossing of US 11 (over the valley) is much too high for an interchange, and a direct interchange with I-81 wouldn't even go near US 11 for a second time.
Information on the proposed improvements is rather sparse, but whatever ends up happening, it would be despicable not to remove the I-476 designation from the US 11 connector. It's unjustifiable even as it is now, much less with an improved connection to I-81.
The AASHO application for I-476 says it ends at I-81, which means I-476 on paper (mileposts notwithstanding) ends at the trumpet connector (meaning both towards I-81 and US 6-11 are ramps) or it ends at I-81 itself.
The I-476 interchange at US 6-11 is not an accident. The Northeast Extension was planned to seamlessly continue north along what became I-81 to New York. The U-turn is where the continuation would have been.
The NE Extension started construction 3/25/54, and its routing would have been decided before that, meaning I-81 as we know it now was not in the planning stages yet. The endpoint of Clarks Summit is described as temporary (pending further extension) but the interchange is not described that way. The 1955 Turnpike Report (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015021101723&view=1up&seq=5&skin=2021) has good info.
As late as the 1960 PA Official, there are dotted lines for I-81 in NE Penna only north of Clarks Summit, which suggests they were still contemplating seamless tie in from the Turnpike with no interchange.
This sounds like the debate of whether using the exit and entrance ramps in an interchange instead of the through freeway would count as a clinch again...

It's more of a debate as to whether what exists beyond the I-81 ramps is a short segment of freeway followed by a separate interchange, or if it's a longer set of ramps that is a part of the same interchange.
Somewhat similar to the debate about the short segment of I-65 between I-90 and US 12/20.
In both cases, I would suggest that they are both segments of freeway based on the presence of mileage markers.
Relatively close to clinching I-95. I know I've never been on 95 north of Portland, ME, and I'm pretty sure I've never been on I-95 between Daytona Beach and Port St. Lucie in Florida. Otherwise, I've driven the rest of it.
I-66: Never been on most of it inside the beltway, other than a small section crossing over the Potomac into DC.
At this point, I think mine is Interstate 190 in Illinois, the short spur from Interstate 90 into O' Hare Airport.
Being from the south side, my family approaches Interstate 190 from Interstate 294, rather than joining it from Interstate 90 (the Kennedy Expressway). We always go west on 190. This leaves a whopping 2,000 feet of Interstate 190 to the east that I haven't traveled, which encompasses a single partial cloverleaf and the interchange with Interstate 90.
I am not close at all to clinching any 2dis at the moment, but here are my closest via percentage:
I-10: 39% (everything from I-410 in San Antonio to I-75 in Florida, except for most of I-10 inside I-610 in Houston and the section between New Orleans and Slidell)
I-30: 38% (everything from I-369 in Texarkana to I-440 in Little Rock)
I-55: 35% (everything from I-12 in Louisiana to I-240 in Memphis, as well as the I-40/I-55 concurrency)
For 3dis, I get this:
I-610 (TX): 79% (just missing the NE quadrant)
I-240 (TN): 70% (just missing the eastern section)
I-49, in about a month. Until Louisiana or Arkansas hit the lottery and make more of it.

I have a large chunk of I-94 traveled, assuming Dad stuck to it completely when I was 5 (which I know he didn't, because they have a pic of me in downtown Fargo) and we went to Montana. Then again, I don't know how much traveling when you are 5 should count. Going WB, I have never driven on it past MN 55, which just seems weird.
The Maryland iteration of I-270; I have less than four miles of it left.

In both cases, I would suggest that they are both segments of freeway based on the presence of mileage markers.
Up in Ontario, the short segment of ON 427 south of the QEW is another example.
I really can't fault anyone for requiring these segments to clinch the route - that is factually correct - but it's also so trivial that, even as a somewhat pedantic person myself, I'd still consider them clinched without said segment(s) for all practical and functional intents and purposes.
I-605 likely given I have never driven it south of I-105.
Hmm. Probably I-81. I only would have the stretch from I-84 to the Canada border.
After that I dunno. Everything else I've driven or ridden on I have either clinched or only been on relatively short stretches. I have done I 95 from Boston to dc..and I 20 from ft worth to Birmingham.
For 3dis I came close to clinching 278, 395 (DC), and 635 (dfw)
I tried clinching I-59 in January 2019, just in time for the viaducts to shutdown for reconstruction in downtown Birmingham. So I got a clinch of I-459 out of it instead.
For I-94, I'm only missing four small portions: Madison to Milwaukee, Glendive to Billings, through Detroit, and through Minneapolis.
I-95. Missing about 120 miles in Florida between Golden Glades (Exit 12A) and Fort Pierce (FL-70, Exit 129) because the last time I was in that part of the world, I took the Turnpike instead of I-95.
I would like to re-clinch all of it sometime.
Also missing a fairly short section of I-81. Have all of it from the I-90 (Thruway) interchange south to I-40 in Tennessee. Need the roughly 95 miles from the Thruway north to the Ontario border.

For I-94, I'm only missing four small portions: Madison to Milwaukee, Glendive to Billings, through Detroit, and through Minneapolis.
For I-94, I'm missing between Minneapolis and St. Cloud because I detoured to visit the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
For 2di, my percent clinched for I-76 (East) and I-77 are the same (98.9%).
On I-76, I am missing the Walt Whitman bridge from exit 347 in PA to exit 354 in NJ.
On I-77, I am missing from I-480 north.
For 3di, I have two with stubs left ( I-476 (PA) and I-395 (ME) ). The ramps to US 11 have been discussed already. I-395 in ME technically extends to the first road north of I-95.
For non-stubs, I am missing the Hudson River bridge on I-787 (92.61%).
Finally clinched I-90 in NY and overall, I-86 in NY, and the newest sections of I-73, I-785 and I-840 within the last two weeks. That leaves me with I-81 north of Syracuse (90 miles / 10%), sections of I-49 at Shreveport and across the AR/LA line (22 miles / 21%), and I-11 along the Boulder City bypass (12 miles / 56%).
Have all the 3-digit routes complete except for I-781 (4.37 miles).
I-88 in New York. Just need a few miles around Oneonta where I detoured to go to Cooperstown.
I-93. Just the segment south of I-95 through Boston.
I-24: Need the stretch from Paducah to Clarksville.. Clinched.
I-94: Just need to cross the bridge into Canada.
I-10: Need only the segment east of I-75.
I have I-16, 22, 24, 59 and 85 clinched, but I have more mileage on I-20, 40, 64, 65, 75 and 95 that any of the clinched 2di routes.
For 3di, missing .18 miles (Seaside Fwy to N Gaffey St) of I-110 CA. Honorable mention to I-190 IL at .86 miles, I-676 PA/NJ at 1.84 miles, I-185 SC at 2.81 miles and I-710 CA at 3.05 miles.
For 2di, missing .68 miles of I-66 in DC. Honorable mention to I-97 at 7.25 miles.
2DI: I-79 in both PA and WV, i'm missing the portion that's between Charleston and the southern terminus of I-79's concurrency with US-19, and i'm missing the part between its northern terminus and I-90. That would be about 65-70% travelled.
I-77 in NC also, there I'm only missing a portion around charlotte because we used to take I-85 to get to greensville a long time ago instead of I-77. About 85% travelled in the state of NC alone.
I-70 in PA is definitely a contender to this, i'm only missing the section between the crystal springs exit and the Maryland border, and the portion west of I-79 in PA. Probably about 65-70%.
3DI: Interstate 376 i'm definitely close on. only missing portion from end of Beaver Valley Expressway to I-80.
I-485 I've almost gone the whole way around. About 75%
I-476 is about 50% done, pretty impressive considering it's so long for a 3di.
I-190 in Chicago I'm almost 95% done. pretty not impressive considering it's super short...
I-279 HOV (if that counts) just because it hasn't been open for so long, i haven't gone the whole way on it yet. missi ng the southernmost portion
If we're doing interstates within a single state now, I'll nominate I-65 in KY for myself. I've been on all of I-65 in the state (in the SB direction only) except the northernmost 0.7 mile between the I-64/71 interchange and the IN border, as I entered I-65 from I-71.

My closest overall is the same as my closest in one state: I-55 in IL missing from Cicero to Lakeshore.

I drove I-40 from Knoxville, TN to Oklahoma City, OK knocking out the illusive section from Little Rock to Oklahoma City. Now all I have left is from US-281 west of El Reno, OK to the I-27 junction in Amarillo, TX to finish off I-40 once and for all.

I also find that spot harder to hit for my travel patterns. When I lived in Kansas City, I took I-49/US71/I-540 down to I-40 all the time, and I've passed through Oklahoma City heading southwest, but still don't have Oklahoma City-Fort Smith and don't know anytime soon when I'll get it.
Chris
I would have to say I-87 for a 2di. I've traveled 302 of 333 miles; the only stretch not traveled being Thruway Exit 17-19. I-84 and I-89 would battle it out for 2nd. For I-84, I've traveled all but the westernmost 53 miles from Drumore to Matamoras. As for I-89, I've traveled up to VT Exit 12 (MP 83), which leaves 47 miles untraveled.

I was finally able to cover that section because I wanted to steer clear of I-30 on account of it getting too close to Ida's path. Mainly the high winds in a motorhome.
It's been a hard one to do for a long time. Living in Austin, TX, it's difficult to find a good reason to drive that route between Little Rock and Oklahoma City.
Now the El Reno to Amarillo section will be even tougher. Something about a trip that leaves Texas, then goes back into Texas sounds way out of the way and wrong. I know I have a trip planned to Denver in February, so I just need to work in a stop along that path as to why we need to go that way. I am already planning...…….

I think it's the same amount of time when you ask your wife if she is ready to go, and she says "I'll be ready in five minutes" Thirty minutes later you are still waiting. I think that makes it a wash!

But US-54 doesn't have a wife asking why it left Texas then came back, in another part, to get to another place not in Texas.
The upthread discussion of I-476 is more relevant for me now that I've started using travel mapping. So I haven't technically clinched the final 0.28 miles of I-476, but somehow, that's not the interstate I'm closest to clinching.
It's actually I-395 (ME), where I'm missing the final 0.22 miles west of I-95.
Obviously, I-476 is still much closer in percentage terms, but in terms of mileage, I-395 it is.
The closest for me is I-684 in New York and Connecticut. I always forget that it extends just a tad farther north to end at US 6/202. So I've been on 99 percent of that route.

Same here, actually. Listing that segment clinched is one of the mistakes I made in my original Travel Mapping list file that will be fixed whenever I next submit it. So Travel Mapping is showing that I've clinched I-684 right now, but it will no doubt be at or near the top of the unclinched list after the update removes the segment north of I-84!
i only need i-70 from glenwood springs to cove fort.
Quote from: Rothman on August 27, 2021, 03:51:01 PM
2di:
I-30. I have 99.4% clinched and 2.24 miles to clinch between exits 77 and 79 (thought it was even less than that).
3di:
I-190 (NY). Have 97.6% clinched. All that is left is between the last exit and the Canadian border: 0.68 miles.
Evidently, I did not update this? Clinched I-190 back in the fall.
Looking at I-275 in Florida for 3di now: 44.16 out of 60.1 miles clinched (percentage-wise -- 73.48% clinched)
I-110 in Texas: .8 out of 1.13 clinched, but shortest in terms of just smallest mileage needed (71.33% clinched).
Quote from: JayhawkCO on August 27, 2021, 12:52:11 PM
I think it's best to do these by percentage, otherwise I think my lowest 2di is I-87 in North Carolina and I haven't been on it.
For 2dis, I'm at 90% or above on three:
I-55 (99%) - I'm missing between Cicero and its northern terminus
I-80 (91%) - I'm missing three different stretches (between I-71 and I-76 in Ohio, between I-680 and I-99 in Ohio/Pennsylvania, and between I-280 and I-95 in New Jersey)
I-29 (90%) - I'm missing between Fargo and Grand Forks
For 3dis, I'm at 65% or above on three:
I-275 (FL) (73%) - I'm missing from I-4 north to I-75
I-295 (DE/NJ/PA) (71%) - I'm missing the loop around Trenton from I-195 to I-95
I-610 (TX) (66%) - I'm missing from the Hardy Toll Road eastbound to I-45
I clinched the portion of I-80 in NJ listed above, so now I'm up to 92%. I also clinched I-295 in NJ and PA on the same trip.
Quote from: US 89 on August 27, 2021, 12:54:47 PM
For 2dis it's pretty clearly I-16 for me. I only need the little bit east of I-95.
I've picked that low hanging fruit since I last posted in here. Now it's I-85, which I have fully clinched south of Durham (amounting to about 80.5% of the route).
Other high-percentage 2dis for me include:
I-84 (west), 76.9%
I-45, 72.5%
I-15, 64.6%
I-70, 62.8%
I-44, 61.5%
I-40, 61.1%
I-80, 57.5%
I-25, 51.3%
I-77, 50.5%
The closest is likely I-65 as I've been on all of it north of I-840 south of Nashville.
I-75 is close, but I am missing:
M-55 (west) to US-127 and BL I-75 (Grayling south) to M-32 in Michigan
I-74 to Tylersville Rd in Ohio
The Macon segment in Georgia
FL 582 to CR 470 in Florida
South of FL 72 in Florida
Interstate 75. I only need to go to the Alligator alley and north of Detroit.
Probably like around 80% done
For me, the closest 2di's that I have not already clinched overall are I-95 (need the northernmost 110 miles) and the eastern I-76 (between I-71 and about the westerly I-77 junction).
Closest 3di's . . . has to be I-495 (NY) - have not done the segment west of I-278. I-684 (NY) - have not done segment north of I-84.
I have several 2di's that I have all but a few exits in one of the terminating cities. In order of remaining distance, I have:
I-86 in Idaho, needing only the last couple of exits in Pocatello.
I-76, needing only the last exits in Philly and all in New Jersey.
I-77, needing only the last few exits in Cleveland.
I would have to say that I'm missing the last mile of I-64 in Missouri by the river. Almost clinched it when I went to the Arch. Not sure when I'll clinch it in full, that's for a different day. Also missing the last stretch of I-72 from Decatur to Champaign, and I don't have a solid date on when I'll get that done.

Unless one is deliberately trying to clinch 535, this probably trips up a lot of out-of-towners given the only real places of interest reached by going straight through on Hammond rather than exiting at 53/35 are city hall and the university.
And the accordion museum. :biggrin:
2 di: I-81, need Whitney Point NY to Syracuse and the northern I-481 junction to Canada
Cross Country 2 di: I-90, need west of Gillette WY, Batavia-Rochester NY, Utica-Schenectady, NY, east of Worcester MA
3 di: I-190 (NY) – simply need Queenston-Lewiston Bridge to Canada (which would also give me ON 405)
2 di within a state: I-94 Wisconsin, East of exit 319. I-94 Indiana east of exit 40. I-77 West Virginia, south of US 460, north of US 50.

I had I-75 clinched about 10 years ago. I was only missing the stretch through Macon, Georgia since I had always used I-475 to bypass Macon like everyone else does but I figured out that it was the only stretch of I-75 I hadn't been on so coming back from Florida about 10 years ago I decided to do it and clinched it. Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie was the first part of I-75 I clinched.
With my planned route back from Florida, I'll have almost all of I-77 clinched by the end of next week and I will only be missing the portion north of the Ohio Turnpike
Probably I-84 for 2dis at least. Just missing Scranton-Milford.

I have that exact same stretch of I-77 complete, just missing the stretch north of the Ohio Turnpike. I've clinched the rest of it.
I-10 I have all of it except for the Florida Part.
I have all of I-8 except from Gila Bend to I-10.
I-20 in South Carolina
I-55 from Joliet northward
I-65 from I-71 interchange northward (except for the duplex with I-70 in Indianapolis)
2di: Probably I-59. Missing everything bypassed by I-459 and haven't been south of Meridian. Next best guess would be I-65 (missing north of Lafayette and south of Ardmore, TN).
3di: I-359 from a mileage standpoint, as it's only 3 miles and I haven't clinched. Percentagewise, I-465 would be my best bet as I only have to drive the segment between exits 4 and 9 (IN-37/Fut I-69 and I-70) out of 53 miles).
Probably I-30 for me now, missing the part west of I-45/US 75

93% of I-95; 129 miles remaining (mostly north of Bangor, Maine)
88% of I-41; 21 miles remaining (between Green Bay and Appleton)
85% of I-85; 99 miles remaining (south of Richmond)
98% of I-490 around Rochester; 0.67 miles remaining
97% of I-295 in Maine; 1.18 miles
93% of I-495 in Delaware; 0.68 miles
Completed most of the western I-74 in January; now about 96% complete.
Finished off that bit of I-295 in Maine...but I forgot to finish the Scarborough Connector. :P
95% of I-880 completed in western Iowa (I jumped off and took IA 191 for a bit). Ironically, I'd completed its numerical namesake in the Bay Area two weeks before that.
My top 5, mostly in Maryland...
2di: I-97 in MD - close to clinching it completely until we had to get off at Exit 15 to get to our hotel. Need 4.3 km to complete fully.
3di: CA I-880 (1.2 km), MD I-195 (2.39 km), NY I-295 (4.84 km), MD I-595 (5.62 km)
I-77: Only missing the section north of exit 145 in Ohio (the only time I was on the OH stretch of I-77 was before the direct interchange opened from the Turnpike to I-77)
The 2di I am closest to clinching would have to be Interstate 16, of which I am only missing the part east of I-95.
After that, second place probably goes to I-30, as I believe I have been on all of it except the section west of Fort Worth, and part of it in Little Rock.
Third place is probably Interstate 24, as I have been on all of it except the remainder of it northwest of Cadiz, Kentucky.
In the case of clinching an interstate within a state, I am very close to having clinched all of I-75 in Georgia, but I am missing the section in Macon in between I-16 and the southern interchange with I-475.

For long 2di routes... The only parts of I-35 I'm missing are (1) north of Hinkley, MN, and (2) the southernmost four miles in Laredo. With never any reason to go to Duluth, though, I don't see a clinch happening anytime soon. That's about 5% unclinched.
I've never worried much about clinching highways. But I popped on here to mention that I just added the portion of I-35 from the Mexican border to Exit #2 on Monday afternoon (by taxi). So I've now clinched 99.9% of I-35 between its southern endpoint and Hinckley, MN. The only part I'm missing is between Exit #2 and Exit #3A or #3B in Laredo (I can't recall with certainty which exit I took to get to Mall del Norte back in 2009).
And I have a feeling that would drive some of you absolutely bonkers.

I-76: 288/435 (66%), missing portions between I-79 and I-376, and east of US 15
Drove on the portion between US 15 and Market St yesterday, which puts me at 397 of 435 miles (91%) of eastern I-76 driven.
Including my recent travels, on I-81 I only need the section north of I-90. On I-40 I only need the part between US 70 east of Raleigh, and some point in eastern NC.
I've done all of I-70 except the little spur to the park'n'ride near Baltimore, which is under 2 miles.
I've done all of I-90 except Ellensburg to Ritzville, WA, which is about 110 miles.
I've done all of I-95 except:
- Fort Pierce to Daytona Beach, FL, the portion bypassed by the Turnpike and I-4
- The short piece that connects I-295 and the NJ Turnpike, which closed the gap
- The bit north of Medway, ME
which adds up to about 220 miles.
I've done all of I-15 up to Butte, MT, leaving another 270 miles or so.
I've only clinched one 2di (88 in NY) and I haven't even come remotely close to clinching any other one. I guess my closest would be I-91 (need south of I-90 interchange and north of I-89 interchange, and I haven't even done all that I have in one continuous trip).
I do have a couple of 3dis, though.
I-190(NY)-> missing from Exit 25B to the Lewiston Queenston Bridge
I-295(ME)-> missing from US 201 Gardiner exit to northern terminus
I-395(ME)-> missing the tiny stub west of I-95
One that's not nearly as close as these three is I-495(MA)-> missing from I-90 southward.
I have clinched I-290 in two different states: NY and MA.
not a whole lot, but I have been on all of I-39, 41, 43, 88 (both) and I-97. Also I-76 (west).

According to my TM "top stats" page, filtering to Interstates only, there are 24 interstates where I've been on at least one segment and I am missing under 10 miles:
https://travelmapping.net/user/topstats.php?units=miles&u=terescoj&
I-35 is the most annoying. I didn't go to the southern end we have in TM because it was not clear to me when there that staying on to that point still allowed a way to stay in the US. So I'm missing just a few blocks. Of course, I'd argue that the fact I stayed on beyond the first traffic light should mean I finished I-35 anyway.
Wait, I-35 goes through some of those traffic lights? I was under the impression that it ended at those first at-grades at Victoria Street.

Here's the discussion as to why TM ends where it does:

It seems pretty unlikely I'd have reason to get back to Laredo any time soon to complete that little segment.
I-91: Missing the 0.16 miles between Vermont exit 29 and the Quebec border (99.94%). No others are even remotely close - either clinched or <50%.
Update for 2023 for the interstates I am closest to clinching:
I-45: 94% (missing the ~15 miles between FM 528 and TX 6)
I-610 (TX): 84% (missing the 5.7 mi between I-69 and I-10 on the NE side of Houston)
I-244 (OK): 62% (missing the section between I-44 and US 75 on the west side of Tulsa, most of the 244 section of the IDL, and the section between I-44 and US 169 on the east side of town)
I-30: 40% (missing everything west of I-369)
I-220 (LA): 36% (missing the section between I-49 and I-20 on the NE side of Shreveport)
I have made no progress on these interstates:
Quote from: CoreySamson on August 28, 2021, 02:33:08 PM
I-10: 39% (everything from I-410 in San Antonio to I-75 in Florida, except for most of I-10 inside I-610 in Houston and the section between New Orleans and Slidell)
I-55: 35% (everything from I-12 in Louisiana to I-240 in Memphis, as well as the I-40/I-55 concurrency)
And it seems every other interstate I have been on (but not clinched) I have been on less than 33% of them.

I have a trip to Mexico planned for later this year, and I'll be going to Monterrey along the way. So, in theory, I could grab that last 0.01% of I-35 in Texas by either crossing in Laredo or driving into town and then back out to the Colombia crossing. However, we're meeting people at the airport in Monterrey, so I'd rather not waste any unnecessary time–especially with another vehicle following mine.
If I had already clinched the rest of I-35 north of Hinckley, then I'm sure I'd feel differently. But, considering that that last 0.01% in Texas still wouldn't get me a full I-35 clinch, I don't feel a strong need to grab it.
I-264:
Missing I-64/664 to VA-164.
I-295
Missing I-64E to I-95E.
I-664:
Missing VA-164 to I-64/264.

I have I-16, 22, 24, 59 and 85 clinched, but I have more mileage on I-20, 40, 64, 65, 75 and 95 that any of the clinched 2di routes.
For 3di, missing .18 miles (Seaside Fwy to N Gaffey St) of I-110 CA. Honorable mention to I-190 IL at .86 miles, I-185 SC at 1.25 miles, I-676 PA/NJ at 1.84 miles, I-710 CA at 3.05 miles, and I-235 IA at 4.5 miles.
For 2di, missing .68 miles of I-66 in DC. Honorable mention to I-97 at 7.25 miles.
Updated to reduce missing miles on I-185 SC and add I-235 IA.
Updates:
2di
I-80 92.13% (231 miles) (Missing Cleveland to State College)
I-29 89.66% (79 miles) (Missing Fargo to Grand Forks)
I-90 88.82% (348 miles) (Missing Cleveland to Buffalo and Syracuse to Albany)
I-64 87.68% (120 miles) (Missing Beckley to Lexington)
I-94 86.85% (214 miles) (Missing Billings to Bighorn and Marshall to Port Huron)
3di
I-275 (FL) 73.48% (16 miles)
I-610 (TX) 66.26% (13 miles)
I-110 (CA) 61.73% (8 miles)
I-465 (IN) 52.64% (25 miles)
I-430 (AR) 51.28% (6 miles)
Closest for me is I-57 at 96 percent (missing the section between I-80 and the northern terminus at I-94 in Chicagoland).
I-66: The stub in DC past Constitution Ave to US-29.
I-185: Between US-25 and the northern end at US-29.
10 percent or less to go...
96% of I-74; 18 miles remaining (Quad Cities and a little part west of Cincinnati)
94% of I-95; 114 miles remaining (Between Waterville-Bangor and Medway, Maine to Canada border)
91% of I-75; 166 miles remaining (all of it north of Grayling, Michigan)
98% of I-490 around Rochester; 0.67 miles remaining
98% of I-295 in New York; 0.18 miles
95% of I-880 in Iowa; 0.83 miles
93% of I-495 around Washington, D.C.; missing 4.32 miles
I-87 south: I-540 to I-440
I-66: Marshall to 267 and an indeterminate point in Arlington east to DC
The only part of I-70 I've never driven is the easternmost two miles which ends up in a commuter lot. That's less than 0.1% of it.
I-65 as I need Sellersville to Indy and a part from Downtown Indy to I-865 to complete that particular route.
Not in whole but for one state though. I-5 I missed the part between I-205 south of Portland to OR 99E northern terminus to complete in Oregon.
I-93. I have everything except between Exits 4 and 7 in Massachusetts (MA 24 to MA 3). This is 98.12% according to Travel Mapping.
