Longest Stretch of Highway Where You've Used Every Exit

Count me in the infinite thanks to a loop club :sombrero:. In my case, with Z-40 around Zaragoza.

However that is far from the longest. I've used every exit on A-23 from exit 165 all the way to Zaragoza, which is about 70 miles. Too bad I still haven't used a couple exits right after the aforementioned Z-40, otherwise it would go all the way to the current end of the freeway. This is the only section over 100 km I've used all exits of, the runner up falls just short of that.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Thanks to being in the Northeast, I have a range that stretches 4 states...not the longest...but I have taken every I-95 exit from Exit 61-US 40 Pulaski Hwy in the Baltimore area up to Exit 11 of the NJ Turnpike...  49 miles in MD, 23 miles in DE, 44 miles in PA, and 46 miles in NJ.

On I-5 from the main Cottage Grove interchange to Albany, which is around 60 miles.  There is a half-interchange with SB exit and NB entrance on 6th Street on Cottage Grove I have never had occasion to use or otherwise the distance on I-5 would increase a bit to where I-5 connects with 99/38.

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

Technically, an infinite distance on I-465.

But not an infinite "stretch of highway".

I-94 in Michigan, Exit 136 (M-60) near Jackson to Exit 218 (Van Dyke Ave/M-53) in Detroit, about 82 miles.

I've used every exit along I-96 west of US-23 at least once except:
Exit 76 (Kent St, Portland) - probably one of the most useless freeway interchanges in Michigan
Exit 147 (Spencer Rd, Brighton)

I've used every exit along M-6.

I've used every exit along US-131 between Exit 49 (M-89, Plainwell/Otsego) and Exit 82A (Burton St).

Are we counting examples where we combine a stretch of freeway with all exits used with a connecting freeway with more exits in a different direction?

I have roughly 200 miles of I-49 down to its southern terminus and I could add significantly more having used most exits from I-10 to the east.

No.

Just went on a trip and used two more interchanges on I-90.

So, every exit from NY 33 in Buffalo, NY to MA 146 in Worcester, MA = 408 miles.

I've used all of the exits on I-79 in WV (160 miles) and from the WV state line to Exit 73 (PA 910) in PA, so a total of 233 miles.

On I-76, I have from Exit 48 in Ohio (SR 225) to the PA Turnpike's Willow Hill interchange (Exit 189) at PA 75, a distance of 229 miles.

I have used every exit on I-476 except for MacDade Blvd. and Keyser Avenue, a distance of approximately 119 miles.

Also I have used every exit on the PA Turnpike from Carlisle to Street Road eastbound, approximately 126 miles. If we ignore the I-95 interchange, as one cannot leave the eastbound Turnpike for I-95 south or I-295 east just yet, that becomes 138 miles all the way to the NJ Turnpike mainline, treating the PA Turnpike and the NJ Turnpike Pearl Harbor extension as one highway. (Westbound would be Fort Washington to Carlisle, approximately 113 miles, as I have not used the Virginia Drive westbound only interchange.) Using the I-76 designation, it's 101 miles from Carlisle to US 202.

Interstate 30 from Benton AR to its western terminus. It is around 350 miles.  I might have done all of them from end to end, but I just am not sure. I am sure from Benton though.

Let's build what we need as economically as possible.

I-49 in the northern half of Arkansas.  It starts at Exit 20 with its current terminus at I-40 at Alma.  Have taken each exit all the way up to Rocky Dell Hollow Rd., which is Exit 290.  My math says 270 miles  :biggrin:

I like your kind of math

I-90 in MA between MA 32 (exit 63) and Logan Airport (exit 137). That would be 74 miles.

I thought my answer would be along I-55, but it's actually along I-80.  I've used every exit from I-80's exit 33 at Illinois 78, east to the first Indiana exit, a distance of 130 miles (+/- 1 mile).
Avatar is the last interesting highway I clinched.

The only exit on I-64 in West Virginia that I haven't used is Exit 133 (Pluto Road).  Assuming the mileage is close, the distance from the Grandview exit (Exit 129, WV-309) to the Morehead exit (Exit 137, KY-32) is about 209.5 miles.  That's less than the 290 miles or so that I'm showing on I-95.

US 89

If you start in SLC and go south on I-15, the first exit I have never used any entrance or exit ramp at is 202 (Yuba State Park). Going north, that's 346 (400 North near Ogden). That works out to about 144.5 miles.

If I were to use exit 346 at some point, my continuous mileage would extend 170.5 miles, up to exit 372 near Honeyville. Using that exit would extend me out to 211.3 miles - all the way up to exit 13 in Malad City, ID.

Second place is probably the stretch of I-80 between exit 70 (Delle) and exit 131 (rock quarry east of SLC) - measuring about 60.4 miles.

I-55

134 miles of I-69 from I-465 (Exit 200) to US-6 (Exit 334).

As for when I-69 is officially signed on I-465, I will only need the Shadeland Ave exits to be continuous to the southern split.

I am missing a few in the FW area: Airport Expwy, Coldwater Rd, Union Chapel Rd, CR 11A, and also CR 200 near Angola.

For my longest stretch of highway, I have been on every exit and interchange on Interstate 75 from Exit 288 (GA 113) in Cartersville, Georgia to Exit 25 (TN 60) in Cleveland, Tennessee, for a total of a little over 90 miles.

Continuing north from Cleveland, the amount of exits I've been on drops off sharply (although there will be one on occasion, such as Exit 81 (US 321) in Lenoir City). On the other hand, going south from Cartersville, I have still been on a fair amount of exits continuing into the Atlanta Metro Area, but the consecutive streak stops at Exit 285 (Red Top Mountain Road), which I have yet to go on in real life (but I have many times on Google Maps Street View  :biggrin: ).

Now alternating between different highway shields for my avatar - my previous highway shield avatar for the last few years was US 76.

I say just one single highway, since that's more interesting to me.  I could wind all over the Denver metro area to try and come up with a longer answer I suppose, but I thought going from Vail to the eastern plains hitting every exit was unique.

If we're confining it to one number, for me it's probably I-76 from the I-80 interchange in Ohio to I-283 in Harrisburg. The entirety of I-68 running a bit behind that stretch (though if I could combine it with I-70 east from Hancock all the way to its terminus in Baltimore, which is essentially the same corridor in spirit, it's a little bit closer of a contest mileage-wise, and I would guess actually more exits in total).
