Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

US 412 does not enter Texas.
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_412): "Just before entering Oklahoma, the highway touches the northwestern corner of Texas at a small road junction."

US-58 in Tennessee.

0.7 mile segment connecting to US-25E.


I-26 ending in Tennessee just short of the Virginia border would fall under close calls. It terminates just south of the border feeding into US-23 which takes traffic into Virginia.

It touches the tip of the northwest border. I'd say it'd be better off under close calls.

In that case US 64 and 56 are also "close calls" in Texas, though I wonder if TxDOT has anything to do with the road, since the westbound side dosen't even enter the state (I don't think it does, at least).

US-400 in Missouri is only about a half-mile long.

US-56/64/412 misses Texas by just a couple of feet.  Please see photographic evidence of the marker below.


[from a detailed description by Mark James Mullins]

Furthermore, I can find no reference to US-56, US-64, or US-412 anywhere in TxDOT.  There is no designation file for any of those highways, nor can I locate any document referring to a highway with any of those numbers in Dallam County.

US 166 is the same length as US-400 in MO (used to go to Springfield), and US 56 enters MO for ~ 2.75 miles to end at US-71.

US 166/400 (Downstream Blvd) leads to a casino of the same name, where you exit the highway in MO, park in KS, and gamble in OK..

Only its separate northern segment (about a half-mile). Its southern segment, starting near Staunton, is over 120 miles long.

There's a witness marker there as well that a lot of people mistake for the corner point.

MSR 896 in Delaware

Both DE 896 and PA 896 have decent length to them, however MD 896 is only 0.21 miles long.  Only drove it once, but do not recall seeing any "Welcome to Maryland" signs - it was as if you went straight from PA into DE.

I wouldn't call US 59 in Arkansas a close call. Over 100 miles. It just happens to be essentially non-existent in Arkansas' eyes because it's completely concurrent with US 71 and US 270.

All 69 feet of MSR 26 in VT
All 0.23 mi of (unsigned) MA 15 coming from RI
2 segments of RI/MA 114A totaling 0.3 miles
ME 113 and ME 113B in NH
All 0.91 mi of MA 108 coming from NH
All 1.3 miles of VT 149 coming from NY
All 1.67 miles of MA 295 coming from NY (even shorter than I-295 in MA)
All 0.7 miles of WV 43 coming from PA

As for the segment of US 340 in VA, I'm assuming the Loudon County piece.  US 340 does spend a significant amount of time in VA east of Winchester

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)

US 46 is entirely in the state of NJ and never touches PA - the western terminus is at I-80, a distinct exit well before the Delaware River.

How do the terminii of MA/RI 114A stack up?

US 206 in PA is only 0.46 miles.  Used to be longer when it duplexed with US 209 to its parent.

According to Google Earth, a little less than 200 feet of each ramp is in Texas, measuring to the edge of US 59/71.  The USGS map shows the highway about 270 feet from the state line, as a single road, which is likely today's southbound lanes, and Google Earth shows the same distance from the state line to the southbound lanes, so it seems the state line location is pretty accurate.  There's no right-of-way map on the web site for that stretch of road, but the fences indicate that the right-of-way does not extend to the state line, which would mean that there's I-49 ROW in Texas under those ramps.  Google Earth says it's about 120 feet.  I don't know if TxDOT built that piece of road, claims ownership of it, or paid for the land under it.  It isn't mentioned anywhere, including the Statewide Planning Map, but it's almost certainly in the state.  It isn't a freeway, so it isn't "the Interstate," but it's a part of the Interstate and probably on its own ROW.
