Longest Stretch of 6-Lane Freeway

[hotdogPi]

I-95 from RI 4 to Portland is pretty long.

Down to two lanes at Exit 12 in Massachusetts, due to a TOTSO.

I don't count interchanges.

That's a very special definition of 6-lane...

Similar situation at Exit 45 (in MA) as well.

The OP is.

If an interchange is used to go to and from the same highway such as I-75 in downtown Detroit or I-95 north and south of Boston it counts as part of that highway.
Btw, it's 170 miles from RI 4 to I-295 in Maine.

Only if the exit ramps are three lanes in each direction, which is not the case for I-95 in Massachusetts.

Just to spell it out clearly, this is the thread's original post:

What is the longest continuous stretch of six lane freeway in the country?

I-71 from Cleveland to Columbus is the longest that I am currently aware of, but I hope (and am fairly certain) that I will be informed that there are longer. If it drops below six lanes at all, even if it's just through an interchange, you have to reset the clock.

This section of G4 Beijing - Hong Kong / Macau Expressway (also known as the Jinggang'ao Expressway) has been expanded to eight lanes throughout. The eight lane section is 1162 km / 722 miles long.

This section from Beijing to Wuhan connects three provinces and one capital city with a combined population of 250 million.

WTF???? "Is no longer available"? I knew webny99 had a little tantrum over on the off-topic side, but this is more than a bit absurd.

Edited to add: OK, I see from looking at his profile that he's going through and deleting his posts, and since you can't delete the first post in a thread that has replies, he's replaced some of his thread-starting posts with this weird "deemed obsolete" stuff. Strange.

If he has it quoted, he might as well just of not wasted his time and keep it.

I see he edited it again to remove the post itself, although of course kphoger has it quoted, so as you say it was a pointless edit:

I-35 is about to be three lanes each way from Hillsboro to San Antonio Texas, after the interstate rebuild is done next summer in Temple a little to the north of it.

I-75 from Macon, Georgia to Florida's Turnpike has 312 miles of six-laned interstate.

Southbound it loses a lane between the Hartley Bridge Road exit and the I-475 merge, even though the pavement is actually wide enough for 3 lanes + full shoulders; however, I-475 does have 6 lanes from the southern split to the US 41 Bolingbroke exit, so you can actually add several more miles. If it wasn't for losing a lane for about half a mile through the northern I-75/475 split, there'd be 6 continuous lanes at least to north of Chattanooga.
