The wrong way concurrency compilation thread

[hbelkins]

Not exactly the "four directions at once" situation, but...



Interestingly enough, there's a similar setup east of Knoxville. Southbound on US 25W is northbound on US 11E, and vice versa.

Another one from Arkansas... this took me a few days to figure out this was wrong-way.



US-270 & AR-88 by TheInstrumentalist, on Flickr

I guess I'll throw in the one near me, and the only one that I know of in Iowa: US-65 and IA-5 on the southeast edge of Des Moines.

And of course:

Soon to be three directions at once (I-87N US 64E I-440W)

[PHLBOS]

I-95 & MA 128 and US 1 from Canton to Dedham
I-95 & MA 128 and US 3 in Burlington

Those two were already mentioned.

MA 8A and MA 116 in Savoy & Plainfield

FTFY

MA 27 and MA 123 in Brockton

27 is N/S & 123 is E/W

MA 62 and MA 114 in Middleton

Already mentioned by yours truly several posts back.

MA 107 and MA 129A in Lynn

107 is N/S & 129A is E/W.

[roadman]

MA 107 and MA 129A in Lynn

MA 107 is north/south, while MA 129A is east/west.  So the concurrencies are North/East and South/West.  Not "wrong way".

IN 62/IN 66 in Evansville along US 41:

[wanderer2575]

M-13 and M-84 in Bay City, Michigan. Here both highways are running east and west. M-13 shifts from the east side of Bay City to the west side of Bay City and M-84 uses Salzburg to run in an east-west segment but is also a north-south highway.

This one is a little more well known. M-83 and M-54 intersect each other coming from different directions on the same road and then use Birch Run Road to connect to I-75. M-83 runs north and south through Frankenmuth up to a junction with M-15 and M-54 turns south to run through Flint on Dort Hwy. and ends at I-75's exit 109.

Also in Michigan:

M-43 and M-89 in Richland


Northbound BL US-24 and southbound BL I-75 (along with westbound M-59) in Pontiac -- this is on the one-way counterclockwise Woodward Loop so there is no concurrency in the opposite directions


M-72 and Oscoda County F32 (along with M-33) near Mio


M-60 and BL I-94 on the west side of Jackson

[thenetwork]

I-469 in Fort Wayne USED to have a stretch of US-30 West/US-24 East and vice-versa on the east side of town until they wisely re-routed US-24 onto the northern part of I-469.

How could we omit this double wrong-way concurrency near Wytheville, VA -- is this the only occurrence of a 2di Interstate wrong-way concurrency (not counting the I-76/I-80 Ohio Turnpike interchange)?

[Big John]

is this the only occurrence of a 2di Interstate wrong-way concurrency (not counting the I-76/I-80 Ohio Turnpike interchange)?

Along I-894 in southern Milwaukee County Wisconsin, there is a wrong-way concurrency of I-41 and I-43.

Ah, yes...  the newbie interstate.

I-44 and I-70 just miss in Downtown STL...

I-44 East ends and defaults onto I-70 West (on a roadway that used to be I-70 West, anyway)

I do appreciate the I-44 East Control City of Kansas City in Downtown STL

I think most of the time when you have a wrong way concurrency the actual highway is going in another direction. Like for I-77, I-81, US-11 and US-52 in Virginia the highway is running east and west and I-81 spends a lot of time going more east and west rather than north and south in that area.

[freebrickproductions]

AL 20 and US 72 in the Shoals where the two routes run with US 43, AL 17, and AL 13 across the Tennessee River.

Dutton, Matthews County, Virginia has a roughly 1.5 mile wrong-way concurrency of VA-198 and VA-3 (GSV here and here).

VA-198 is a legitimate east-west running highway from U.S. 17 east to a point east of Matthews, where it just becomes a secondary system road.

VA-3, for most of its path, is also a legitimate east-west road, from Culpeper to Fredericksburg to Klimarnock in Lancaster County.  Beyond Kilmarnock, it runs  more north-south to avoid going into the Chesapeake Bay, but is still signed east and west.

I had a hard time finding any in Minnesota. I did find:
MN 23/MN 67 in Granite Falls, very brief.

The stoplight in the distance is US 212, the end of the concurrency.

Along with US-425 being a violator.

This post has several examples of three-direction US route concurrencies.

[abefroman329]

I-77/81 is the one I'm most familiar with, since I used to take 81 to get between my college town in Northwest GA and DC, after I graduated college and moved to DC.

[US 89]

There is the I-25/US 84/US 285 concurrency in New Mexico as well. Coming into Santa Fe, you are traveling south on I-25 (US 85), north on US 285, and west on US 84.

Unfortunately, I don't think any of the concurrent US highways are signed. It is New Mexico, after all.

[usends]

...Coming into Santa Fe, you are traveling south on I-25 (US 85), north on US 285, and west on US 84.

Actually NM signs US 84 as a north-south route north of Ft. Sumner, so (if it was signed) that would be north on 84.  I think it should still be west on US 84 at that point, but as you said...

...it is New Mexico, after all.

I had forgotten about that. Took me forever to figure out that the exit numbers on the 84/285 freeway were based on a north-south US 84 with a zero milepost in Fort Sumner—in the middle of the route.
