Quote from: ZLoth on July 17, 2023, 12:10:34 PMThe closest for me is I-14 in Temple, Texas. Considering that it was "constructed" in 2017, it also happens to be the newest Interstate that I haven't been on. I just haven't driven that far south yet because of Coved (2020-2021), high gas prices (2022), and adult caregiver (2022-present) putting any possible multi-day road trips on a permanent hold.

Still Interstate 14. Still the same reasons.

Dallas to Copperas Cove is two and a half hours. Why would you need to make a multi-day trip out of that?

As a adult caregiver, it's hard to leave my mother alone for more than a few hours. Can I make it in a single day? Yes, but I had plans for multi-day road trips to explore my new home state.
Why does "END ROAD WORK" sound like it belongs on a protest sign?

If I count interstates I've intersected, that's a dang wide net to cast. I definitely have never been on I-2 though.

Intersected?  If you stayed on the route you were on, then you weren't on the route that you "intersected"...

I listed all combinations in my list. It's not the answer to the OP, but it's tangential.

2di:  I-86 (eastern), ~240 miles
3di:  I-676 (PA/NJ), ~110 miles

D'oh!!  Silly me, it slipped my mind that the eastern I-86 has a brief concurrency with I-81 near Binghamton NY.  So I've been on that stretch.  So here is the correct answer (as of now).

From home base in Maryland, approximate driving distance:

2di:  I-16 (Georgia), ~600 miles
3di:  I-676 (PA/NJ),  ~120 miles
