Title: Closest numbered highway to where you were born
Post by: epzik8 on August 28, 2017, 06:50:21 AM
Do you know what the closest numbered highway is to the hospital or wherever you were born? I was looking around Baltimore on Google Maps yesterday and came across my birthplace, Johns Hopkins, whose south side borders U.S. Route 40 (Orleans Street). So it made me curious what everyone's is.

Interstate 23³

STV100-2

I don't get it. 23³ = 12167, which is not an Interstate or junction of two Interstates. Even if you didn't mean "cubed", I-23 and I-233 do not exist.

Community Drive (Nassau CR 11A).  If unsigned county routes don't count, then either Northern Boulevard (NY 25A) or the Long Island Expressway (I-495).  North Shore Hospital is about halfway between them.

It was CT 71A at the time.  Also at the time, CT 72 followed CT 372, as the CT 72 expressway was under construction.  With the truncation of CT 71A, it would now be about a 4 way tie among CT 71, CT 71A, CT 72, and CT 372 (not counting SR 555).


Interstate: I-84 (although the proposed I-291 hadn't been killed/demoted to CT 9 yet)
US Route: About a tie between US 5 and US 6 (city I was born in does not have a US route)

Are you just looking for a numbered highway regardless of being state, US or Interstate?

I'll just answer for all three of them:
State highway: M-58 would probably be the closest although M-13 isn't too far away either.
Interstate: I-675 (Michigan).
US Highway: US 23 (runs multiplexed with I-75 for 73 miles between Flint and Standish).

US-190. I highly doubt it was in anything remotely resembling its current configuration back then, especially considering as how my mom said our town still had a fair number of unpaved streets at the time.

I thought about answering the OP literally. The question is whether you know what the closest numbered highway to where you were born is, so my answer is "yes."

Nope.  US 6 goes up through Farmington and straight into West Hartford on I-84.  Have to get off on CT 9 and go down by Target and Costco to clip New Britain.  Used to follow New Britain Avenue back in the day.

Backus's address is on CT 2/32

Oh yeah, I forgot that US 6 ever splits off of I-84 in Connecticut beyond Hartford
Also the edge of the parking lot makes it almost to the intersection with CT 2/32 and CT 169.

I was born at what was then (1971) New Britain General Hospital, now The Hospital Of Central Connecticut. CT Route 72 is north of it. CT Route 71 is a few blocks east of it. CT Route 71A once got as close as 2 blocks, before that road was truncated to end at Buell Street in New Britain's south end. I-84 is further west, by the Plainville town line.

CA 134 (at that time SSR134/LRN 161).  Ironically, when the CA 134 (Ventura) freeway was built across Glendale in the late '60's, it took a large part of the hospital where I was born (it had since moved to new facilities in Montrose).

For me, it's roughly a four-way tie, the difference being within barely a tenth of a mile (also depends on if this means as the crow flies or via direct street connections): US 75 (now Business US 75), US 20 (now Business US 20) US 77, and I-29.

The old Deaconess Hospital in Cleveland was pretty much at the corner of Pearl & Broadview Roads -- US-42 / SR-3 and Old SR-176 (before it was relocated to the finally-completed Jennings Freeway).
