Largest cities without a 3di interstate route

Fresno, CA. (Should get I-7)

Greenville, NC. Largest city in the state with no interstate (although, it's getting I-587 pretty soon).

^ But not the largest city in NC without a 3-digit Interstate.  That would currently be Durham, at least until I-885 is completed.  Then it will be High Point.  Greenville is a distant 5th (4th if you count Cary touching I-540, though 540 is technically not WITHIN Cary).

I-74 goes through High Point city limits, I-85 goes through Durham city limits, and segments of I-40 cross into Cary city limits. What's the other one?

I-74, I-85, and I-40 are not three digit interstates.

That's my mistake, I thought he was referring to any interstates. I mis-read the post.

For Florida it's Orlando.

Sacramento, CA does not have a signed 3di route  but its listed as a hidden route as I-305.

Bakersfield, CA and Fresno, CA are the largest cities in the nation without a 3di or 2di at all.

For Virginia, it's Lynchburg. It's also the largest city in the state without any interstate highway.

Bakersfield, CA and Fresno, CA are the largest cities in the nation without a 3di or 2di at all.

Bakersfield comes within 12 miles of I-5, and also the city limits follow the Kern River to where it touches I-5, so technically a sliver is within city limits. And the whole area is served by I-5, at least from the south.

Jeff City is the largest capital without an Interstate though US 63 and 54 are four-lane divided highways up to I-70 which is 25 mi to the north.

But nearly 40 years ago Caltrans removed Bakersfield as a control city on I-5 north of the I-10 freeway for Sacramento.
Note CA-170, I-405 and I-210 also have Sacramento as a control city. Was Bakersfield city limits expanded to reach I-5 in the past 4 decades?

Boat Section in Sacramento was opened 4 decades ago.

Considering how remote the western City Limit of Bakersfield is as it touches I-5 it doesn't warrant being a control city.   CA 99 traverses the core of Bakersfield, I-5 doesn't even come close to downtown.

In Louisiana it would be Monroe, Alexandria, and Lafayette. In about 30-50 years you could add the Ruston/Grambling area to the list.

When talking about metro areas rather than city proper, Iowa's largest w/o a 3di is Ames, the seventh largest in the state. Pretty small. If you count Ames as part of the Des Moines area, it's Dubuque, the 11th largest.
