Longest route you’ve seen both ends of

I know I've seen both ends of M-28.  290 miles, I know a lot of others have reported much longer routes.

I've been to the northern end of I-75 several times.  And at least one of the former southern ends, but I haven't been to the Miami area since it has been extended to there.

I know that my clinch of I-75 is in doubt since my only E/W crossing of FL on what is now confirmed to be I-75 was on the old Alligator Alley configuration in 1981. That said, there is no doubt that I have been to both ends of I-75, as well as US-31 and US-41.

Since my I-75 clinch is off the table I would have to say I-24 (hard for me to be sure, it seems my stats have been deleted from the Highway Browser page)!

I-93  :-(

That's longer than what I have. I haven't seen either end of I-93.
Wait. You haven't? You can reach there from where you live in a good hour. Drivers licence?

I dunno.  It has its place and some people are quite deserving of being directed there.

Isn't seeing both ends of I-275 essentially being at any single point on I-275?

I think we've already determined that seeing both ends of I-275 is essentially being at MM 0.

Now that I thought about this some, it's possible I have seen both ends of I-25. I definitely saw the south end in 2009 when a buddy and I went to Phoenix from El Paso. As for the north end, I was only a young kid then, but we were definitely following the general path of I-90. But I-90 may not have been built yet in the Buffalo, WY area and it's also possible Dad may have simply decided to drive thru town.

Likely I-24.  Clinched it, too.

In-state, I've also seen both ends of WI 13, WI 16, WI 23, WI 29, WI 32, WI 33, WI 35 and several other of Wisconsin's longer state highways.

Mike

Recalling my roadtrips, it is not I-24.  Even though I have not 'clinched' it, I have also seen both ends of I-81.

Mike.
