This is I-684 at its northern end:

I remember that now-gone I-287 BGS very well.

The current BGS' & gantry

That END 684 sign is long gone as well; although one replacement was erected just prior to the I-287 East/West split within the interchange (that one is since gone as well).

I-695 in Washington, DC (which is often confused with the previous example):

I believe New York is last.

Friendly reminder @Roadgeekteen, don't forget to cite sources for pictures that aren't yours (apologies if that I-696 is yours).

On to the 700s with I-705 in Tacoma, Washington.  February 23, 2010.

Not strictly a "sine salad", but a "family reunion photo": 95, 295, 395, 495, 695. Is there a sign bridge anywhere with parent + five child 3di's? Seems unlikely.
My first SF/horror short story collection is available: "Young Man, Open Your Winter Eye"

I-780 (I wonder if there's a Benicia Martinez who drives on this road every day?)



The exit sign photo I had wasn't a good-looking shield.

A fairly new addition to the system, here's I-785:

2 I-787s in one with one being a state-named, plus a bonus New York 787 in the background.  I think this is gone, but I don't get to Troy often anymore.    This was on the Collar City Bridge heading out of Troy on August 13, 2006.
