This is related to the clinching thread. For me, probably I-95 between exits 35 and 36.

I-35 between Exits 106 and 108A. Only river crossing for miles. Used to live south of the river, so I had to use it to go anywhere to the north. Now I live north of it and have to use it to go anywhere to the south or west. It was part of my commute for 11 years.

I-80 between Exit 304 and 307 in Stroudsburg.
And you may ask yourself, where does that highway go to?

Probably the section of I-85 in GA between exit 104 (old exit 40, Pleasant Hill Rd) and exit 106 (old exit 41, SR 316). But since the late 00s, motorists do not enter mainline I-85 when going between those two exits, they use the associated C-D lanes.
Control cities CAN be off the route! Control cities make NO sense if signs end before the city is reached!

Has to be I-75.  Now the exact section?  I first worked in Highland Park, so commuted south.  Then moved to the new HQ in Auburn Hills, so commuted north.  I don't recall which location I worked at longest.

Almost certainly I-495 in Virginia, and I presume I could narrow that down to the segment between Route 236 (now Exit 52) and Van Dorn Street (eight miles away, but it's Exit 173) based on where I live now and where I grew up.

I-17 north of AZ 101 to AZ 260.

It's probably close to a tie for me between:
I-435 (KS) between US69 and Metcalf
I-35 (KS) between Lamar and Southwest Boulevard
I-25 (CO) between Evans and University

I-95 between Exit 133 and 148 in Virginia which has been part of both my commutes since 1996

I've moved around so I have have a few. I lived in Michigan the longest

In Michigan, I guess I-75 between exits 34 and 41. Have only been on that section a few times in the past 15 years.  I-94 between M-39 and US 24 is close.

In Colorado, I-70 between exits 276 and 282 (CO 2 and I-225).

In California, I-80 between CA 65 and CA 193.

Currently, its I-475 between I-75 and US 24.

I-71 OH between exits 17 and 19. South of there, I continue on I-71 most of the time, but sometimes get off to I-275 in either direction as well.

This is actually harder than I thought.

My first gut reaction was I-91 from MA-9 to I-90 and then to the Berkshire Spur.  Then, I-87 to Selkirk (essentially Northampton. MA to Selkirk, NY).  Commuted weekly for 8 or 9 months doing that.

But, that is only 36 weeks at the most, or 72 one-way trips.

Living in the Capital District, I frequently used I-90 from Wolf Road to US 9 to get to church.  That was probably way more than 72 trips.  Not sure how many times I drove on I-787...

And then I lived in MA for over a decade and I'm not sure how often I was on I-91, either getting on at MA 116 in Whately/Deeefield or at MA 9.

If I had to lay a bet, it is probably some length of Free 90 in the Capital District.

When I lived in NC, it was I-795 between Fremont and Goldsboro. I've driven all of I-795 numerous times (even during the short time it was signed as US-117), but as far as regular commutes go, that was the part I drove the most, since I've lived in both places.

Next would be I-95 between Wilson and Rocky Mount.

Overall I have driven on I-94 more than any other interstate highway.  Especially the section east of WI-26 toward the Milwaukee area.  But I have also regularly taken it down to the Chicago area and up northwest of Madison.

I-39 between Stevens Point and Wausau.
Though the more time that passes, eventually the 39/90/94 combo from the Beltline to WI 19 may eventually pass it.
(Yeah, yeah 94 isn't on the entire segment but brevity, man.)

I-96 between MM 175 and 191, several hundred times in each direction.  From 1984 to 1991, this was part of my daily commute from the western suburbs to downtown Detroit.

I-55

In State: I-69 MM 305-309 (Illinois Rd/IN-14 to US-30/33/IN-930 in Fort Wayne, IN)

Out of State: I-75 MM 61-110 (I-70 Vandalia to US-33 Wapakoneta, OH)

Harder to figure out than it appears at first glance.

My best guess would be hidden I-595 in Maryland, between I-95/495 and MD 197, due to my current commute, and often going out to lunch on workdays.

It may be hidden, but it's still an Interstate!

One of the three Interstate approaches to the I-490/I-590/NY 590 junction. Probably I-490 west of the interchange, but almost impossible to say for sure.

Pretty much certainly I-41 in the Appleton to Neenah, WI area.

I-80 the San Francisco to Sacramento section is the one I am on the most.
I-280, I-680, I-305 and I-780 are the other most used interstates I have been on.
