Some instances:

I-30 for Texarkana, AR and TX
I-81 for Bristol, TN and VA
US 41 through Lake County, IL and IN
I-65 through Jefferson County, AL and KY

I-95 for Middlesex County, CT and MA?

I am sure there are plenty of others, even town/city combos as opposed to counties, but none I can further guess off the top of my head.

What's not to like about highways and bridges, intersections and interchanges, rails and planes?

No longer the case due to truncation, but US-211 used to serve both Washington DC and Washington, Virginia, the latter more commonly known as "Little Washington" due to the five-star restaurant and inn of that name located there. The mileage signs on 211 still say "Washington VA" to distinguish from the more-famous city.

US-17 serves Jacksonville in both Florida and North Carolina.

Though it's not a continuous route, I always got a chuckle out of this sign on US 222 at the PA Turnpike that reads "I-76/PA TPK - Denver" .

US 51 goes through Madison, MS and WI. I can't believe I didn't mention the various highways through both Kansas City, KS and MO: I-70, I-35, 635, 435, etc.

Here's one within the same state, even: US 23 serves both Clayton and Clayton County, GA (about 100 miles apart).

I was looking for instances like US 23 going through another city named Clayton. I'll accept this criteria, as long as the city is not in the county of the same name, like Greenville (Greenville County) and Charleston (Charleston County), both in South Carolina. I'm also disallowing St. Louis/St. Louis County and Baltimore/Baltimore County, though the two cities are independent of the counties sharing their names.

I-95:  Newark, New Jersey, and Newark, Delaware.

Both the Eastern & Western Segments of I-76 have exits for Akron, OH and Akron, CO, accordingly.

And I-80 also passes not too far south of both Toledo OH and Toledo, IA.

I-65 serves Franklin Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

jp the roadgeek

I-90 also serves Boston and Auburn, MA and Boston and Auburn, NY
I-35,  435, 70, and 670 serve Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS
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)

Haven't we done this before?

Also, US 60 gets the same two Lexingtons I-64 does.

Prompts me to recall that US-220 serves the town of Rockingham, NC, in the southern part of the state (where the speedway is), as well as Rockingham County, NC, up on the Virginia state line.

I-20: Atlanta, GA and Atlanta, TX.

Atlanta, TX is a considerable amount of distance away from I-20, which is why I didn't list them. Same reason I didn't mention Dallas, TX and GA because Dallas, GA is about 15-20 miles from I-20.

I-90 has Amsterdam, Montana:



and of course my home of Amsterdam, New York:



Looks like the Montana one is a few miles off I-90 but I'll throw it out there to get my hometown included.

Though one letter off, I-74 goes through Vermilion County, IL and Vermillion (two "L"s) County, IN. Both counties border each other.

I-20: Atlanta, GA and Atlanta, TX.

Ummm...not quite.  Misses it by 50 miles.


US 167: Junction City, AR and LA
I-10: Vinton, TX and LA (also interesting that both are just east of crossing the state border)
I-55: Springfield IL and LA (this may not count. I-55 does not enter Springfield, but Springfield is listed as a city from the LA 22 exit)
