Longest Stretch of Highway Where You've Used Every Exit

I was driving west on I-70 this weekend and I realized that I was in a stretch where I had either exited from or joined the highway at every single exit I was passing.  I was curious what everyone else's longest stretch was.

Mine is 124 miles from Exit 171 (US6/US24) in Minturn to Exit 295 (BL70) in Watkins.

I-94 in Michigan, between US-24 and US-127.  Maybe even further towards Detroit, not sure.

Mine is roughly 58 miles of I-95 between Maryland exit 59 (MD 150/Eastern Avenue) in Baltimore to Delaware exit 4A (DE 1/DE 7) in Christiana.

The longest for me likely follows I-94, beginning at the first/southernmost exit in Wisconsin for WI-165 all the way down to the Cicero Ave (Exit 41 C) slip ramp, maybe Wilson Ave also, a stretch of around 45-50 miles I believe. I don't think for me there's any road that could begin to compete.

For me, probably the 293 miles of I-87 between I-287 at exit 8 and NY 314 in Plattsburgh.

For me, it was living in southern California.

All the exits along CA-55 I've used at some point.

I-84 in Idaho from Exit 25 (ID-44 near Caldwell) to Exit 64 (Kuna-Mora Rd SE of Boise). So 39 miles. If you include the stretch of highway all the way up to where the next exits are (as in, I've still used every exit in that stretch), it's 53 miles. I've never had a reason to take Sand Hollow or Black Canyon exits to the west (though I've used the next 4 exits beyond them), and never had a reason to take Mayfield/Orchard to the east, there's just an overpriced gas station there.

Also, if we take the definition of "exit" more specifically, I suppose you could say something silly like Science Center Dr exit on US-20 in Idaho Falls to the West Mountain Home exit on US-20 (multiplex with I-84). 216 miles. But that's really a technicality, since US-20 is a surface highway between those points and does not have any "exits" in that sense. That's not really in the spirit of this question.

I-64 between Bowers Hill (Exit 299) and US-33 (Exit 185).

hbelkins

I-64 between Exit 8 (Grindstead Drive) in Louisville, KY, and Exit 50 (WV 25) in Dunbar, WV.

If I ever have opportunity to use Exit 7 (Story Avenue/Mellwood Avenue) in Louisville, that will extend west all the way to Exit 113 (Lanesville) in Indiana.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I-57:  Farina (exit 135) to I-24 (exit 44).  At least, before they added a couple of exits that weren't there before.

I-40 in the Triangle area of NC, exits 259 (I-85 in Hillsboro) to 290 (NC 54 in Cary).

In Wisconsin, I have used every exit of I-94 between the WI-80 (Exit 61) exit in New London (This is I-90's number) and the WI-100 Ryan Road (Exit 322) in Milwaukee County.  That's about 160 miles.

I have exited every exit on I-90 south of that New Lisbon exit as well.

I-5 from Exit 125 (Lakewood/JBLM) to Exit 236 (Burlington), covering most of the Seattle metro area (and including the express lanes). That's 92 exits, including the HOV ramps and bus-only exits.

Flint1979

I have used every exit at one point or another on I-75 between Detroit and Indian River, MI. A distance of 260 miles.

Are we allowed to make turns and use multiple different routes?

If so, mine is 148 miles from I-90 at Exit 52 (Walden Ave/Cheektowaga) to I-90 at Exit 38 (Co 57/Liverpool) via I-490.
If not, it's just I-90 straight through instead of adding mileage via I-490. That reduces it to 137 miles.

Toll roads with sparse exits come in very handy for this exercise. I can't touch 100 miles in any other direction, as I'm missing I-390 Exit 6, William St on the free section of I-90 in Buffalo, and a bunch of exits on I-81 and I-690 in the Syracuse area.

Dirt Roads

I-95 Exit 79 in Benson, North Carolina to I-495 (I-95) Exit 11 in Forestville, Maryland.  (290.4 miles)  Yes, that also includes the MCB Quantico exit, each of the HOV entrances on the Shirley and the express/local lanes in Alexandria.

Question to the OP:  What about continuing around the other side of the Washington Beltway?  The Ritchie-Marlboro Road exit in Upper Marlboro is the only exit on the Beltway that I haven't used.  That would add exits from the Beltway up I-95 to Exit 54 in Baltimore to the continuous path.  The same concept applies to all of I-66 and all of I-270 beyond the Beltway.  Would probably be able to tack on a bunch more off of those routes as well.

Probably the 49 mile segment of I-85 (GA) from exit 111 to exit 160. However there are shorter stretches but with more exits, where I've used every exit.

I have honestly either exited or entered the freeway at every possible ramp on Interstate 10 from Exit 743 (Grand Parkway) to Exit 773 (Lathrop Street/Kress Street).  And on Interstate 45 from Exit 32 to Exit 88, both directions.  And interstate 69/US 59 from Exit 106 (SH 6) to 149 (FM 1960).  Ive also used every exit and entrance on 249, and all of them on 288 between downtown and the beltway. 
Ive used every single exit on IH 610 at some point, and every exit on 290 between 610 and FM 1960/SH 6.

I-71 between Exit 1 (I-75) and Exit 50 (US 68) for me.

Everything between Exit 23 and 118 on I-99/Future I-99, a distance of 95 miles. I'm not sure anything else could come close.

GaryV

I'm assuming using any of the ramps at an interchange counts.  If so, for me it's 70 miles on I-75 from Exit 56 (Davison Fwy M-8) to Exit 126 (Mount Morris Rd).  I'm not positive of 2 of the exits in that stretch, but it is likely I used them.
