In Ithaca, NY there's NY 13/34/96 (map, picture).  Because of one-way streets in the area, one block heading south/east has NY 89 too for a qudraplex!

In Pennsylvania, the only one I'm aware of is US 22/322/522.

This is in Philadelphia, Missisippi, right at the entrance/exit to the Wal-Mart parking lot.

In Fort Worth there is a I35W/US287/US377 through downtown, and soon to add to that is SH 121, and in the northeast suburbs of FW there is SH121/114/26.

I think the only signed triple multiplex in California now is Business I-80/US 50/Route 99 along the WX Freeway segment of the Capital City Freeway, between Interstate 5 and unsigned Route 51. 

Many years ago though....

- Interstate 15 through Cajon Pass was also signed for US 66, US 91, and US 395.

- Interstate 10 was co-signed with US 70 and 99 from Los Angeles to Indio, and US 60 from Riverside to Indio (and from Pomona west).

- What is now Route 110 between US 101 and Interstate 5 (the Pasadena Freeway) in Los Angeles was once Route 11, US 66, US 6, and US 99.

QuoteIt seems many responses overlooked the fact that the original poster was asking about three of the same type of highway sharing pavement, i.e. three U.S. routes or three Interstates and no mixing of systems.

Three or more of the same type of route, but not necessarily without a different one tacked on.

For instance the US6/7/202 multiplex is also merged with I-84, but it only count as a triple, not a quadruple, since there's only three of the same type in there. That's what I was going for.

It's interesting, I did some poking around google maps before making my initial list. And I found that US highway triplexes were far more common than I had previously thought. Besides the two I already knew off the top of my head (6/7/202 and 1/9/46), I expected to find maybe a few more in Chicago or other major urban centers. The number of instances found in small middle of nowhere towns is pretty surprising.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

SSOWorld

if that's the case, there are still plenty of US route triplexes or greater


Now consider this mixmash:  on the Indy beltway
southside - I-465, I-74, US 40, US 36, US 31, SR 37, SR 67 - But only I-465 and I-74 get respect on this route and I-465 is shown as the "primary" :rolleyes:
eastside (more like southeast portion) - I-465, US 31, US 36, US 40, US 52, US 421, SR 37, SR 67  - but only I-465 gets respect

As a matter of fact, I do own the road.
Raise your what?

Wisconsin - out-multiplexing your state since 1918.

NY 5/8/12 in Utica.  I-790 also joins in to make it a four-way multiplex.

^^ I forgot about that one!  I don't travel that way much, so I'm unfamiliar with the area.

US 80/280/431 - Phenix City, Alabama

There is US 64/67/167 between Beebe and Bald Knob, AR

^^ Those are weird town names!

The Newtown Bypass in Bucks County, PA, has a section where PA 413, PA 532 and PA 332 multiplex.  Another case of moving numbered highways out of the town center.

FL 10  :biggrin:/12/267 in Quincy, FL.
If you consider it, FL 18/231/235 in Brooker. Signage on both sides indicate a triplex.
FL 717/80/15 in Belle Glade.
So many roads...so little time.

Look at this (from gribblenation):

I think the above photo would be from Waycross, GA.  Believe me, I have seen as bad or worse.

I live in GA and I always thought that displaying the underlying state highway number on US routes is redundant and adds needless clutter to sign asssemblies.  And selfishly speaking, since I prepare signing and marking plans in this state, it adds more clutter to my drawings, hahaha.

GDOT is not even consistent on displying the state number all the time.  They do it most of the time, but do omit it in many cases.  Often on the same route they are inconsistent in where or if they display the underlying state route sheild.

In my opinion, Georgia may be the mirror image of California.  It is one state that may have too many numbered routes and too many displayed route numbers, period.

Chris

That's a septuplenumbering.  :D

The URL says Folkston, which is at the border with Florida.

RoadWarrior56

I was at least in the right part of the state, hahaha.  I never checked a map, Waycross was a guess.

roadfro

Well that's two separate 3+ plexes at once...

That is way too much information to be signing on one highway.  The US routes are one thing, but does there really need to be four GA highways on one stretch of road?

That sign is very cluttered, and I agree with RoadWarrior56, GDOT is inconsistent in signing state/US highways.

^^ When I say inconsistent, there are some instance where the US route is signed, but not the state route. And, sometimes, there are long distances before you'll see another route marker.

I vote with Bryant, they ARE inconsistent.  And to make it worse, they are often inconsistent with the cardinal direction.  US 29 is co-signed with SR 8 near where I live.  US 29 is considered a N-S route, and SR 8 and E-W route.  Sometimes SR 8 has a separate E or W cardinal direction, and sometimes it shares the N or S direction with US 29.  And of couse that is when SR 8 is actually signed, which maybe 80% of the time.

Here's a video of a quadruple US route multiplex: US 23/29/78/278.

Almost forgot.....

US 27/301/441 from Belleview, FL to Ocala, FL.
FL 20/24/26 in Gainesville, FL
US 1/17/90/FL 228 (before the realignment) in Jacksonville.

And since others are counting cross-breed triplexes.....

US 98/US 319/FL 61 in Medart, FL (south of Crawfordville).
US 41/US 129/FL 6 in Jasper
FL 13/US 1/US 90 in Jacksonville

Today I was on OK 1/2/63.

QuoteInterstate:
- 39/90/94; Madison, WI to Portage, WI
- 55/64/70; St. Louis, MO/East St. Louis, IL
- I think those are the only two?

For a very short time, NC had an I-40/I-85/I-73 triplex, before I-40 was put back where it was.
