Cities Served by Only One or Two 2di's

I think there's too many with two, would be more interesting to limit it to cities with just one.

Buffalo, NY would be among the more noteworthy cities on that list.

Are all numbers 1-9 used for I-90 child routes in NY state?  JK   :-D  almost like I-80, 5 and 10 in CA.

This list is going to include almost all big western and central cities...

...

Seems to me it would be better to approach this from the other way - a better topic might be "cities with more than two 2dis".

Even New York City only has two: I-87 and I-95.

I-78 plus I-80 comes close enough to serve it.

Michigan's 10 largest cities:
-- Detroit, 2 2di's
-- Grand Rapids, 1
-- Warren, 0
-- Sterling Heights, 0
-- Lansing, 1 (I-69 misses city limits)
-- Ann Arbor, 1
-- Flint, 2 (barely, only because there is an isthmus of the city limits across I-75 to the airport)
-- Dearborn, 1
-- Livonia, 1
-- Troy, 1

Throw in the charter townships that are at least as populous as Troy:
-- Clinton Twp, 1
-- Canton Twp, 0
-- Macomb Twp, 0
Pretty sure that Lansing and Flint are served by I-69 and I-75 respectfully even though they don't really enter the city limits they serve the city. Also the GM Delta Plant next to I-69 is actually in the city of Lansing.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned any city in North Dakota along either I-29 or I-94. They are the only two 2dis in the state.

Fargo has I-29 and I-94, Grand Forks has I-29, Bismarck has I-94 and an unsigned I-194.

Elkhart and South Bend technically have two 2dis, but does it really count? I-80 and I-90 share the same four lanes of the Indiana Toll Road, and there are no other 2dis in the area.

Also, a surprising number of Florida cities only have one 2di. Orlando, Fort Myers, pretty much any city in the Panhandle. Even the big cities, like Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, and Miami, only have two 2dis (and neither of them technically run east and west in Miami).
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Washington DC: I-66 & I-95
Is DC the only city that lost a 2di towards their count when I-70S became I-270?

Livermore, Pleasanton, Hayward, San Leandro, Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, Richmond, Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville, and Winters, CA when I-5W was replaced by 3dis.

Ok most of those are suburbs. But did I-5W actually enter San Francisco, the city limits? I thought it only went through Oakland, and used I-580 and I-505 to connect to I-5.

It went only through Oakland.  I was basing the list on the MSA.

Boston has I-90 and I-93.

Make what you will of I-95 "serving" the city of Boston. It was planned to, but never made it.

Does it serve the metro area? Absolutely.

Yes. Most other states would have allowed Boston to annex enough land. For example, I-465 goes through Indianapolis.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Before we got the IH 69 designation, it used to really bother me that Houston, the 4th largest city in the country, only had 2-- IH 10 and IH 45 and only 1 3di- IH 610.
Luckily we now have IH 69, but we need at least one more.  It's insane that Kansas City and St Louis have FOUR and multiple 3dis and we dont

1950s population... Houston was much smaller, and St Louis was the 8th largest city back then.

Also note that KC and StL have two interstates that end there in opposite directions (29/49 and 44/64), so it's like they only have three through interstates. Meanwhile, Indianapolis will get their 4th through interstate when I-69 is connected in the south.

Before 2018, Trenton, NJ, had one 2di serving it (I-95) (and even then, it only went partway around).  Not quite 100k population, but surrounding townships make up for it.

Now it has none.

I pointed out how can you say that I-69 doesn't serve Lansing and I-75 doesn't serve Flint? It says serves the city not goes through the city.
