Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Oops, my bad. I had forgotten about I-129, even though I have it clinched (and using it remains my only foray into Nebraska.)

So go with my Kansas I-135 sign from there and move ahead.

No worries.  I'm 100% this isn't the first time we'll skip past something by mistake.

I think it's time for the I-140's.  I have TN's, we need NC's too.

Here's I-140 signage in NC, at its current western end at US 421:

national highway 1

I'm pretty sure I-155 in TN is up next.

Let's not forget the I-155 in my home state of IL:

So is I-164 next, despite it no longer existing, as it has been absorbed by I-69?

Interstate 165.  I don't think there are any 169's yet, so 170 should be next.

There is a Texas I-169, in Brownsville, supposedly.

No idea if it is signed, and not seeing any GSV for it, either

Off topic, but I've always wondered what they do with those signs at groundbreaking/grand opening ceremonies. I remember when one of the parts of MN-610 was just getting started on construction they had a groundbreaking and there was a 36" MN-610 sign behind it all. My first thought on seeing that picture was "that'd be a really cool sign to add to my collection."

Edit: Found the pic on Wikimedia Commons

We typically end up installing and using them.

That makes sense I guess, especially if you're going to go through the cost and materials of making an actual, real sign and not a replica.

Here's I-170 in St. Louis:



Good luck digging up photos of the old I-170 in Baltimore. Otherwise, I-172 would be next in line.

Oh, were you waiting on me?  I've got the I-172 you've been looking for right here.

I guess that leaves the pseudo I-180 in Cheyenne, WY:

I-181 is net, if anyone is lucky enough to have some photos of it before I-26 killed it off. And then, we'll continue with I-182.
