Furthest-apart pairs of freeway exit signs for the same town on the same freeway

[7/8]

If we're allowing a divided highway example, then TCH 1 has 487 km (303 miles) between signage for Saskatoon, SK.
1) At TCH 16 west of Portage la Prairie, MB
2) At SK 11 on the southwest side of Regina, SK

Another one that just makes the cut: I-93/White River Junction, 108 miles from I-89 to I-91.

If we can include a two-lane highway (am I pushing my luck? ), then I found an impressive one in Northern Ontario. 1012 km (629 miles) between signage for Cochrane on Highway 17!
1) At its split with Highway 11 in North Bay
2) At its west split with Highway 11 in Nipigon

Another decent two-lane example is 402 km (250 miles) between signage for Fort Frances, again on Highway 17.
1) At Highway 71 east of Kenora
2) At Highway 11 in Shabaqua Corners, west of Thunder Bay

How about I-70 with Cleveland? 117 miles from I-76/PA Turnpike in New Stanton to I-77 in Cambridge. (And then again from I-77 to I-71 in Columbus, but that one's only 79 miles.)

Also, on a related note: I-76 with Columbus, 157 miles from I-70 west in New Stanton to its western terminus at I-71.

For these, I wouldn't call them exits since they have stoplights. It's basically just a right turn.

That is indeed silly to choose a control city that is 500+ miles away, I mean it's not like in happens in California right?

California would rather write "Other Desert Cities" than frickin "Phoenix"!! 

[SkyPesos]

Also, on a related note: I-76 with Columbus, 157 miles from I-70 west in New Stanton to its western terminus at I-71.

I thought I-70 WB uses Wheeling as a control city from New Stanton.

It does


Though the example in last post is a supplemental guide.

Do supplemental controls count  per OP.

Rankings

I-5 Fresno: 182 miles
...

I-5 NB at CA-41 (exit 309) uses Fresno as a control city, so the distance is split into 88 miles (CA-99 to CA-41) or 94 miles (CA-41 to CA-152).

[roadman65]

There should be another post about how far scattered the first mention to the last mention of a specific city is.

On I-84 ( the first and real one, and not the imposter in the west) New York City is used as far west as NY 17 at Middletown, NY to as Far East as CT 15 atEast Hartford, CT.

That is about 122 miles apart approximately.

Missed that one. I'll delete it from my list.

Looks like I've found a new #2...

On I-80 EB at Exit 123A in South Salt Lake, UT, I-15 South is signed for Las Vegas. The next use of Las Vegas at an interchange is Exit 83 northeast of Fallon, NV, at the US 95 interchange. The Goog indicates this is about 447 miles in the eastbound direction (westbound shorter due to the I-15 overlap

There are two intervening interchanges along I-80 where Las Vegas could reasonably be signed but is not: US 93 in Wells (just signed "East Wells")  and US 93 Alt in West Wendover (signed for "West Wendover" and "Ely").

And if we were going for any distance and not consecutive, it could go further west to Exit 48 East Fernley (where Las Vegas is signed on supplemental signage).

I should have checked that when I checked Reno. Good call.

On I-77 northbound, Columbus is signed as a supplemental destination at US 33 westbound near Ravenswood, WV. The next mention of Columbus is as the control city for I-70 westbound at Cambridge, OH, 85 miles later.

[Jim]

Looking more closely, the I-90 NYC example is a little short of 100 miles, more like 96.

[lepidopteran]

A shorter example would be I-70 in Breezewood, where there is an "exit" signed for Harrisburg.  54 miles away, at Hagerstown, Harrisburg is again signed as a control city for I-81.  Theoretically, you could have another for US-15 in Frederick, making it about 80 miles, but Gettysburg has the control-city honor there.

[lepidopteran]

This one's hypothetical, and based on a sign that's since been taken down.

On I-295 in DE, the US-13 exit used to include a far control city -- Norfolk.  Many folks think I-95 should be routed there, across the Delaware Memorial Bridges and the entirety of the NJTP mainline, since that's the way most through traffic goes anyway.  If it were, there's a US-58 exit signed for Norfolk at Emporia, VA, 275 miles away.
