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

There's also I-90 serving Amherst, NY and MA.
What's not to like about highways and bridges, intersections and interchanges, rails and planes?

I-90 doesn't go through Amherst, MA.

I-91 serves Wethersfield, CT and Weathersfield, VT. It also serves Windsor, CT and Windsor, VT (and Windsor County, too!).

Haven't we done this before?

I'm sure. I remember saying I-70 serves both Salina UT and Salina KS.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

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.
The Atlantic City Expressway straddles the Gloucester County / Gloucester Township (in Camden County) border at its western terminus.

US 41 serves Smyrna, GA and Smyrna, TN.

I-95: New Brunswick, NJ and New Brunswick, Canada

Given that New Brunswick, NJ is near where I-95 would have turned off the Turnpike to head towards the Somerset Freeway, you could say that at one time the northern section went from New Brunswick to New Brunswick.

Damn, I thought of this but did not because the interchange is in East Brunswick, but lo and behold the Turnpike does cut off a little snippet of New Brunswick itself, so you are indeed right.

Some instances:

US 41 through Lake County, IL and IN

Also for the Lake County, IL and IN combo: I-94, US 12, and I-294 (it barely gets into LC, IL, just north of Lake Cook Road)

Lake County, IN and Lake County, OH: I-90, US 6, and US 20

Edit: 294 used to reach Indiana a long time ago, when the Tri-State Expressway name extended onto what is now the Borman. It doesn't anymore. Oops!

US 9 goes through Essex County, NJ and Essex County, NY.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

State highway 136 (number continuous in both states) connects Bristol County, Rhode Island, and Bristol County, Massachusetts.

Two kinda-sorta examples

I-70 serves, or at least it did in I-70S days, Washington, DC and Washington, PA.  The latter is the only example I know of where a BGS lists the city and state while in the same state, presumably to avoid confusion.

I-95 serves both New Brunswick, NJ, and New Brunswick, the Canadian maritime province.

TEG24601

Vancouver, BC and Vancouver, WA - Both served by the same roadway, just with Different names, I-5/BC 99.  Technically you could also count Lakewood, WA, as it occurs twice (once on either side of Seattle), and both are adjacent to I-5


Rochester, MN and Rochester, NY - Both skirted by I-90.
They said take a left at the fork in the road.  I didn't think they literally meant a fork, until plain as day, there was a fork sticking out of the road at a junction.

Pete from Boston

I-90: Madison, Ohio, and Madison, Wisconsin.

US 11 serves both Knoxville, Alabama and Knoxville, Tennessee.

I-65 has exits for Nashville, Tennessee and Nashville, Indiana, although Nashville, Indiana is about the same distance from future I-69 as it is I-65.

To me the really strange sight on I-65 is seeing the exit for the I-24 split signed "Louisville/Clarksville" in Tennessee when Louisville, Kentucky and Clarksville, Indiana are only a few miles apart.
Clinched: I-264 (KY), I-265 (KY), I-359 (AL), I-459 (AL), I-865 (IN)

I-70 in Indiana has an exit for Hagerstown, IN. It also passes through Hagerstown, MD.

And yet Indiana doesn't do the #fail that Illinois does by putting the state name after its Nashville exit. Anyone who might get confused by the Nashville, Ill. exit on I-64 and think they were going to Tennessee is too dumb to be driving.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

tidecat

I can kind of understand Illinois doing that because I-24 does go to Nashville TN.  I forget how far it is to I-24 from there, but I know it's less than 100 miles.  If I-24 is ever extended northwest, it would be a necessary distinction.
Clinched: I-264 (KY), I-265 (KY), I-359 (AL), I-459 (AL), I-865 (IN)

hbelkins

Not really. Illinois could always use Paducah, as Kentucky does, or Clarksville, as Tennessee does.

Greenwich and EAST Greenwich. Otherwise, US 1 is far away from I-95 and even misses Delaware altogether.
