Since Kansas City was mentioned earlier I thought of all the other routes that go through both cities:

US 24
US 40
US 69
US 169
I-635
I-670

US-211 has been truncated, but it used to connect Washington, Virginia, and Washington, DC. It still passes Washington, Virginia, and even has a business route there (the town is better-known as "Little Washington" consistent with the famous inn of that name located there).

I thought it sounded familiar as well, so I searched for my username and "US-211" and found this:

^^^ excellent searching technique!! I actually just used it for this post (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=25281.msg2427526#msg2427526), searched for my username and Ithaca, and the thread I was looking for was a super easy find. Best forum searching experience yet.

I-15 comes close enough (within about 10 miles) of both Riverside, CA & Riverside, NV.


Edit: And Riverside, UT and Riverside, ID.


All of which used to be served by US 91.

"Riverside, MN" is a neighborhood of Duluth, so I would guess that does not qualify.

Yes, we've done this before.

I-64 and US 60 connect Lexingtons in KY and VA.

I wasn't sure whether it was a neighborhood or a town in its own right. I'm using https://us.geotargit.com/citiespercountry.php?qcountry_code=US&qcity=Riverside as a reference, and I doubt it makes a determination as to whether the "Riverside" in question is a town, township, or neighborhood.

However, I know there is a Riverside, CA (I used to live there) and a Riverside, NV (been through it) and I confirmed the Utah & Idaho versions were at least CDPs (although the one in ID is one of two in that state).

I-90 connects Sturgis, SD with Sturgis, MI. Yes, I-90 doesn't go into Michigan, but Sturgis is close enough to the border to count.

The exit from the Indiana Toll Road is for Sturgis.

Aside, both towns were founded (and named for) the same guy.  An ancestor of my wife.

If Atlanta, MI were about 25 miles further west, I-75 would connect it to Atlanta, GA.
