Interstate landmarks

[Flint1979]

Sitting under one of I-75's landmark bridges gave me the idea of this topic I haven't seen anything regarding landmarks on an Interstate.

I-75 roars 125 ft above the Saginaw River on the Zilwaukee Bridge.

George Washington Bridge, obviously

[achilles765]

The 20 mile swamp bridge in louisiana on IH 10
The Galveston island causeway
The double decker section of IH 35 in Austin

[Bickendan]

The Boone Bridge, the Marquam Bridge, and the Interstate Bridge; along with the Fremont Bridge; Glenn Jackson Bridge, and possibly the Abernathy Bridge
YMMV, naturally.

The Uniroyal tire, located on eastbound I-94 east of the Southfield Freeway (M-39) interchange in Allen Park, MI.

While not as impressive as some of the others here, it's a landmark for sure.

It even has its own Wikipedia page:

The Allen Bradley Clock Tower in Milwaukee is just off I-94 and Greenfield Ave. It had been, according to the Guiness Book of World Records, the largest 4 faced clock in the world for 50 years until 2012.

SF-Oakland Bay Bridge, and the Verazzano Narrows Bridge.

Sry, picking out some of the obvious ones first.

South of the Border (seen while heading north on I-95 last week).

[jmacswimmer]

The Pepsi sign on I-83/JFX, frequently used as a reference point by local traffic reporters.

South of the Border (seen while heading north on I-95 last week).

And here it is from the other direction from several months ago

[hobsini2]

I forgot about the Saturn Rocket that is at the I-65 Welcome Center in Alabama.

[roadman65]

Sunshine Skyway on I-275.

[GaryV]

I-75 roars 125 ft above the Saginaw River on the Zilwaukee Bridge.

Umm, Mackinac Bridge?  That's a more iconic landmark than Zilwaukee.

[roadman65]

The Fort Pitt Tunnel on I-376 in PA.

My favorite is probably the Peachoid in Gaffney, SC on I-85:

Then there's these iconic giant crosses on I-10 in Baton Rouge:

Then, of course, you also have the Pyramid off of I-40 in Memphis:

This eagle sculpture visible on I-90 passing through the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.

This eagle sculpture visible on I-90 passing through the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.

Heh.  A tacky landmark, but one nonetheless.

[jmacswimmer]

A few more I remembered:

-The perpetually-incomplete Noah's Ark replica along I-68
-The arch just east of the Indiana/Ohio border on I-70

[ctkatz]

I can't believe this hasn't come up yet.

florence y'all

[SectorZ]

Do they need to be human-made landmarks?

If not, then I'll submit, pre-2003, the Old Man of the Mt. in Franconia NH on I-93.

If so, then I think the Zakim Bridge also on I-93 in Boston works.

You want a tacky landmark? Might I suggest this piece of hawt garbage on I-65 in Nashville.

Is there enough of the "Old Man's Face" to make it out these days?  I would love to see it when I go to New England in August.

I-70 has to be the favorite for most landmarks/roadgeek famous sites. The park and ride, Breezewood, going single lane on 2 occasions (but I realize that's changing/has changed in KC), the Stan Span, the Eisenhower Tunnel, Vail Pass, Glenwood Canyon, and the San Rafael Swell.

[GaryV]

The former "Butter Jesus" on I-75 in Ohio.  I haven't been past it since the new version went up.

I've always thought that from certain angles, notably including the one seen in that link, it looks like a big red buttcrack mooning passing traffic.
