What Interstates Form Your "Home Block"???

Most of us live in a residence on a block surrounded by at least 2 streets.  If actual Interstate numbers comprised your block's boundaries, or in other words you had to use actual Interstates to circle around your block, what would those interstates (not US- or SR- only routes) be?

** If you live somewhere like the Carolina coast, for example, and only had I-95 as one side of your block, what would be the cross-interstates on either side of you if they were routed right to the beach?

For me, living in Grand Junction, CO literally just south of I-70, my "interstate block" would be I-70/I-25/I-40/I-15, which, BTW is one hell of a big ass block! 

Had I lived north of I-70, my "block" would then be I-70/I-76/I-25/I-80/I-215/I-15. 

My former residence in Parma, OH would have had a much smaller "block" comprised of I-480/I-77/I-80 (Turnpike)/I-71, which I could drive in under an hour.

Get it?  Good.  Now your turn!

Mine is I-84, I-691, and I-91, which is a manageable 50-mile block: 18 mi on I-84, 22 mi on I-91, and 9 mi on I-691, plus about a mile of ramps.  If I lived 2 miles west of where I do, it would be a 3-state, 300 mile block of I-84, I-87, I-787, I-90, and I-91. If I lived about 4 miles south, it would be a 155 mile block of I-691, I-91, I-95, I-287, I-684, and I-84.  If I lived 10 miles east, it would be a 185 mile block of I-91, I-95, I-395, I-90, and I-84.

I'm going to guess Kevin_224 lives on my block.
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)

I-405 (OR) and I-5.

Enjoy that while you can because it will be a long time after you graduate until you can afford that.

(I'm in the same block as Max Rockatansky.)

I-95 and I-695. I-895 has no east facing ramps to I-695 which would have made it even smaller.
Call me Kenny/Kenneth. No, seriously.

Interstate 87 to the west and south, Interstate 95 to the north, Interstate 278 to the east: the junction of Interstates 87 and 278 form the southeast corner of the 'block'.

Since I-86 does not yet reach Binghamton...

I-390 / I-86 / I-90 / I-79 / I-80 / I-81 / I-476* / I-81 again / I-690 / I-90 again
*no direct connection

(How are spurs and stubs counted? If you include going to the ends of stubs, making a U-turn, and returning, then include I-99 and I-180)

I-5 to the east and that is it in Sherwood. The only other possible argument is I 80 600 miles south but that is really far away.
ODOT, raise the speed limit and fix our traffic problems.

Using what I can: I-195 (NJ), I-295 (NJ, DE), I-95 (DE, MD, DE, VA), I-295 (VA), I-64 (VA)

I don't have a block since there's no N/S interstate to the east of me.  Which means I must have ocean front property!  :-D

I-93, I-95, and I-495.

And if our pipe dreams come true and US 3 becomes something (I-89?), I'd literally live within a true block.

I have no E/W interstate to my north  :-P

So, it'll have to be I-190, I-290, I-90, I-490, I-81. That pretty well boxes in the Lake Ontario shoreline.

If I ignore the fact that I-78 & I-476 do not have a direct connection, then:
I-76 / I-276 / I-476 / I-78 / I-81 / I-83 / I-283 / I-76

If it has to be a direct connection...then what do I do with the I-81 & I-476 junction?

ilpt4u

I-57, I-64, a little of I-255, and I-55
