US-211 has been truncated, but it used to connect Washington, Virginia, and Washington, DC. It still passes Washington, Virginia, and even has a business route there (the town is better-known as "Little Washington" consistent with the famous inn of that name located there).

....

I thought it sounded familiar as well, so I searched for my username and "US-211" and found this:

^^^ excellent searching technique!! I actually just used it for this post, searched for my username and Ithaca, and the thread I was looking for was a super easy find. Best forum searching experience yet.

I-15 comes close enough (within about 10 miles) of both Riverside, CA & Riverside, NV.


Edit: And Riverside, UT and Riverside, ID.


All of which used to be served by US 91.

"Riverside, MN" is a neighborhood of Duluth, so I would guess that does not qualify.

Yes, we've done this before.

I-64 and US 60 connect Lexingtons in KY and VA.

I wasn't sure whether it was a neighborhood or a town in its own right. I'm using https://us.geotargit.com/citiespercountry.php?qcountry_code=US&qcity=Riverside as a reference, and I doubt it makes a determination as to whether the "Riverside" in question is a town, township, or neighborhood.

However, I know there is a Riverside, CA (I used to live there) and a Riverside, NV (been through it) and I confirmed the Utah & Idaho versions were at least CDPs (although the one in ID is one of two in that state).

Lexington on I-64 as there is one in KY and the other in VA.

And yes, I think I had one of these started two or three years ago.

I-90 connects Sturgis, SD with Sturgis, MI. Yes, I-90 doesn't go into Michigan, but Sturgis is close enough to the border to count.
