Nearest Freeway Segment You've Never Driven

[plain]

Great thread.

I just remembered I have yet to drive the short stretch of VA 267 inside the beltway.

Forgot about this thread. I finally got that stretch last year (and finally clinched VA 267).

Now my answer is the NC 11 bypass of Greenville.

[MATraveler128]

Until recently, it was MA 2 inside 95/128. Now it's the Ted Williams Tunnel portion of the MassPike.

[Ted$8roadFan]

I-88 in Upstate NY; I-395 in Maine.

[NWI_Irish96]

There is a very small section of I-355 between the NB355->EB88 and the WB88->NB355 ramps that I haven't covered yet.  46 miles from home.

I've since pushed this out quite a bit. It's now I-72 west of I-55, 198 miles away.

I spoke too soon. There's a short segment of US 12 between I-43 and WI 67 that's freeway that I'm still missing so it's 110 miles

[RoadRebel]

The Toll Bypass US-74 Monroe Expressway in North Carolina. It's approximately 12 miles away, yet I've never driven it.

[flan]

MN 36 between I-35W and I-694. I-35E north of I-694.

[Hobart]

Edens Expressway Spur, about 40 miles north of me as the crow flies.

[andrepoiy]

Highway 407: various segments I have not driven simply due to avoidance due to cost

[Bickendan]

North: US 101 west of Evergreen State College in Olympia
East: I-82 west of I-182; WA 240 south of I-182
South: CA 44 east of Redding

[achilles765]

The emmet f Lowry expressway in Texas city. Only stretch of freeway in the Houston area I've never been on.

[kirbykart]

I-90 between Exit 57A in NY and Exit 36? (the I-86 exit) in Pennsylvania.

[tsmatt13]

NJ-133 in Hightstown. It's about 15 miles from where I live.

[US20IL64]

IL 394 and I-180, may 'clinch' this month,

[Hot Rod Hootenanny]

Nearest freeway I've yet to drive on? Oh 4, west of Springfield Ohio. (Northern end is 61 miles from home)
Nearest interstate I've yet to drive on? I-75 between I-70 and US 33 (the nearest point on I-75 from me would be 67 miles)

I guess I've expanded my travel bubble during covid.
Nearest freeway I've yet to drive on (now)? Oh 73 bypass of Wilmington
Nearest interstate I've yet to drive on (now)? I-74 west of I-275, west of Cincy.

Pretty sure it's I-94 between I-90 and MT47 about 8 hours away.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Pretty sure it's I-94 between I-90 and MT47 about 8 hours away.

Funny, that was my missing section of I-94 in MT for about five years. I had planned to take 90 WB to 94 EB, but running out of time on my trip I had to cut the corner on MT 47. I cleaned up the missing section of 94 on a drive back from Oregon.

[Bruce]

I-84 between Hood River and The Dalles, followed by some other gaps in Oregon.

[Tom958]

i-26 west of I-385, 149  miles away.

I did that drive with my grandparents back in 1996 or so, and while I've been through Billings since, I haven't had the need to go back east towards North Dakota. I just had some friends move to Missoula, so maybe I'll make my wife go I-90->MT47->I-94->I-90 to help relieve my anal-retentiveness.

[SkyPesos]

Either I-64 between Louisville and Lexington or I-65 between Louisville and Indy. They're around the same distance in different directions from me.

[SEWIGuy]

Almost all of I-35 in Minnesota. Only have been on a few miles in the Twin Cities and Duluth areas.

[formulanone]

There's some parts of I-40 west of Nashville I don't think I've driven before; west of I-24 and TN 100. I haven't completed all of the nearby Briley Parkway (TN 155).

I cleaned those up a few months after posting that...now my nearest undriven freeway segment is probably I-69 from Fulton, Kentucky to I-24. It's kind of out of the way for my convienence, but who knows...

The stretch of I-20 west of I-520 (similarly annoyingly unclinched) to I-26 also eludes me.

[Avalanchez71]

The closet would be the Pennyrile Parkway extension, I-169.  I always just use ALT US 41 from I-24 to the old end of the Pennyrile in Hopkinsville, KY.

I thought I was missing some of SR 153 in Chattanooga but I just realized that the expressway portion peters out at the end I was one anyway.

[Ted$8roadFan]

Another one: the NH-101 freeway between Manchester and Hampton, NH.

[DandyDan]

Since my original contribution 4 years ago on this topic, I have eliminated a number of freeway segments. I believe the closest one I have missed is US 14 east of US 218 in Owatonna, MN and west of MN 56 northbound by Dodge Center.
