Identical numbers in neighboring states, but separated by great distances

Another pointless thread.  :biggrin:

Works for both repeating Interstate numbers and state highways if you can find good examples.

My examples to start us off: I-405 in CA and I-405 OR are in neighboring states, but has 938 miles separating them.

NV 164 and OR 164 are 961 miles apart.

A I-580 is in California and Nevada.  As the crow flies they surprisingly aren't exactly far from each other.

CoreySamson

As for large identical numbers, LA 3137 and FM 3137 are about 526 miles apart.

Also, the I-110's in Texas and Louisiana are about 905 miles apart.

M-26 and OH-26 are about 630 miles apart as the crow flies, probably another 200 or so miles driving wise.

Dirt Roads

VA-175 in Oak Hall (Chincoteague), Virginia -to- TN-175 in Colliersville, Tennessee (995 miles via North Carolina, 1010 miles if you stay in Virginia)

NC-12 in Atlantic, North Carolina -to- TN-12 in Nashville, Tennessee (712 miles)

MN and ND 42 are 610 miles apart at their closest by straight line.

If you want to count this border, I found MI 222 and MN 222 are 609 miles apart at their closest.

It's 685 miles from the east end of US 26 in Ogallala, NE to IA 26 in Lansing, IA.

I-495 in MA is about 100-150 miles as the crow flies from I-495 in NY (East End) as the crow flies.

I don't have my laptop to check straight line, but driving from MT56 to ND56 is about 993 miles.

MA-2 is nearly 130 miles from US-2 in Vermont and New Hampshire

Same story. Driving from MT37 to SD 37 is about 1,035 miles.

Obviously not going to get anything over 1000 miles involving Indiana, but I did find:

641 miles from M-64 at US 2 to IN 64 at the IL/IN line

382 miles from US 51 at the KY/IL lline to IN 51 at US 30

Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

Longest I could find for CT is NY 75 and CT 75 (which also would apply to MA 75) being over 400 miles apart.

Here's one for ya.

There used to be a three state highway, OH-120, M-120 and IN-120. OH-120 and IN-120 still exist there but M-120 no longer exists in that part of the state. The current M-120 is part of Old M-20 in the western part of the Lower Peninsula north of Muskegon. As the crow flies it's about 100 miles from M-120 to IN-120 and about 150 miles from M-120 to OH-120.

Any time I quote distances between to roads, or points on roads, I use driving distance, because that's how far you'd have to drive to get there. Using straight line distance may standardize things, but it's not practical.

I'm not sure of the distance between those two highways, but what came to mind for me was MO 27, in the northeast corner of Missouri, and K-27, which closely follows Kansas' border with Colorado.

1061 miles between the closest points of FM 3255 in western El Paso and LA 3255 east of Clinton, La.
