Should I-97 be renumbered to a 3di?

[Pink Jazz]

I-97 is the shortest 3-digit primary Interstate highway in the United States.  I personally feel it should have been a 3-digit route.  I have heard somewhere that I-97 was originally planned to be much longer than it is now, but apparently any extension is never happening.  Therefore I think it should be renumbered to a 3di and I-97 should be freed for any Interstate that runs on the Delmarva Peninsula.  I-995 would be appropriate.

It connects to Interstates at both ends (I-695/I-895 spur in the north, I-595 in the south), so an odd prefix seems inappropriate. But Maryland used all their even numbers.

Well, I-595 is unsigned, so perhaps it wouldn't be too inappropriate.

Should this be the roadgeek Godwin's Law?

Either this or 238...

I-97 is needed for Mass. Route 24, so, yes.

Actually, that's a great idea.. It could be a continuation like I-76, 84 and 88. And fits the grid.

We already have a 6 page thread on this.  Locking it down as this belongs in the Fictional area (which is where the linked thread below is already located).

Interstate 97 --- Do you think that this freeway should be renumbered?
