Title: Same number concurrencies or highways meeting
Post by: texaskdog on July 06, 2017, 10:29:24 AM
So, you can't have a US highway and interstate in the same state. How about when the same number touches?  When they moved US-10 in Minnesota to the new alignment, the old one was named county 10.  I'm sure that confuses no one.

Kitchener has King's Highway 8 and Waterloo RR 8 side-by-side. RR 8 between Weber St and the 401 was highway 8's former alignment. This sign can be confusing for non-locals:

There's also King's Highway 24 and Norfolk CR 24 north of Simcoe, ON, where the CR is the old alignment of the highway.

If you include situations where a road continues under the same number but in a different class, this is not terribly uncommon.

In California, I-15, I-110, I-210, and I-238 all continue under the same number but as state routes instead of Interstates.

In Pennsylvania, US 222 continues as PA 222 in Allentown. I was also going to suggest I-378 as a historical example, but I believe the non-freeway portion south of the Lehigh River wasn't designated as PA 378 until the Interstate designation was removed.

It's generally a mistake one makes only once (if at all) because the traffic on county road 10/old highway 10 can be atrocious.

MN 65 and US 65 used to intersect in Minneapolis where they changed over, though US 65 has now long been truncated.

-MN 61 and Lake/St. Louis County 61, the old alignment of 61 between Duluth and Two Harbors. MnDOT seems to be toning this one down a bit as they apparently removed the physical "JCT COUNTY 61" markers from MN 61.

-I-35 and Freeborn County 35 in Geneva, MN.

-MN 45 and Carlton County 45 in Cloquet.

-MN 62 and Hennepin County 62 in Eden Prairie. The county portion remains after NIMBYs stopped the planned continuation of MN 62.

Well, it is right there, at least - turn onto GA 20 here (in either direction) and follow it far enough, and the signs will eventually start saying "WEST". But it's well away from I-20 by then.

Several other examples in the Peach State: US 27 intersects GA 27, for instance. And perhaps best of all, the US 23/GA 23 concurrency (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.8384524,-82.0068487,3a,75y,103.1h,89.4t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3E33aTOCmw9hVuQPotJOfA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) in southeast Georgia.

How about State Routes that share the same number across the State Lines?

IL/MO 110 comes to mind

Similar to I-265 in IN, I-255 in IL continues north of its Interstate designation terminus @ I-270 as IL 255 (still a freeway)

This may be cheating, but IL 43/Harlem Ave and 43rd St near Chicago -- but calling these roads "highways" is a stretch -- a city street and a busy Arterial

Ogden Ave and 34th St is close to here as well, but it is east of Harlem/IL 43, and Ogden loses its US 34 designation at Harlem

US 41/Indianapolis Blvd in Highland, IN has the local 41st St as a Cross Street

I can locate more of the Numbered Route and Street Number crossings, but I think I will stop, as I don't think its the spirit of the OP's request

Unless the statement is to mean a US Highway and Interstate cannot meet and/or be concurrent in the same state. That, I am down with, except for WI, NC, and someday TX

Yes, and until the 74/74 and 41/41 abominations came along, to the best of my knowledge Illinois had the only exception, with the reasoning being that the two routes were so far apart that no one would get them confused.

Learn something new every day

I'm sure others have done this before, but I might have to look hard at maps for the next few days, and see if there are other exceptions. I guess TX already is officially an exception, since there are parts of I-69 signed in Houston, and US 69 exists in TX as well

I didn't even realize it was uncommon, let alone a rule. I knew the WI US 41/I-41 thing was weird (same thing with NC and 74), but that can be (at least partially) blamed on us FIBs for not wanting to share I-55 or I-57. I figured they just had to be "away" from each other, a la US 24 and I-24

By "the grid" naturally, there should be few overlapping areas anyway, numerically speaking, with N/S US being E to W::Low to High and N/S Is being E to W::High to Low, and same with E/W US being N to S::Low to High and E/W Is being N to S::High to Low

Only in the "middle" of the country should there be opportunity to break this pattern. 74, 24, and 69 due to diagonal Interstate routes, and 41 being a pretty "middling" number

Illinois, being a state with more N-S than E-W mileage, was likely considered to be an unavoidable exception to the "rule" (essentially an idiomatic guideline), as was California.  Before the '64 state renumbering effort, there were two in-state duplications: I-40/US 40 and I-80/US 80; which didn't seem to concern anyone at any level for the 6+ years the situation existed.  The fact that the renumberings dealt with the problem was pretty much incidental; the goal of the renumbering was to eliminate multi-route multiplexes; doing so meant truncating many of the US highways entering the state.

What's actually ironic & funny is that the Illinois situation concerning I-24/US 24 could have been avoided back in '57 by simply swapping I-24 and I-26; it would have been logical as well, considering the whole of I-26 exists at a more southerly mean latitude than does I-24!

I keep forgetting about California, even though I'm old enough to remember current maps with the US routes posted, and thinking how neat it was that a route that runs within about an hour of where I live (US 60) went all the way to California.

The "no duplication" rule is why there are no interstates numbered 50 or 60. Any interstates with those numbers would, out of necessity, have passed through states with the same numbers used on US routes.

Correct. Although I find it somewhat humorous considering MnDOT pretty much said "fuck MN-101 south of I-94" and that would've left MN-62, as you described, a spur route that would've made little sense, ending at an otherwise unimportant intersection.

US 69 and Interstate 69 In Lufkin TX

If left unresolved in Lufkin, they would definitely intersect and probably run concurrently.

There are three solutions.
1) Extend US175 from Jacksonville TX to Woodville and truncate US 69 in Jacksonville.
2) Extend US271 from Tyler to Woodville and truncate US69 in Tyler
3) Delete US175 altogether and extend US75 from Dallas to Woodville along the current US175 and US69.

Another US75 possibility would be to truncate US69 in Durant OK and reroute US 75 along the current US69 to Woodville. This would also require the current US75 being renumbered to IH45. This of course flies in the face of the idea that I45 will eventually extend along SH114 and US287 to Amarillo

NC will eventually have an I-42/NC-42 interchange near Clayton once US-70 between I-40 and Morehead City officially becomes I-42.

On a brief off-topic note, once US-264 is upgraded to interstate standards between Zebulon and Greenville, NC will be the first state to have a 3-di interstate concurrency where both routes begin with an odd number: I-795/I-587 in Wilson.

Actually, it was supposed to meet MN 7 in the now-CSAH 101 vicinity.  The milemarkers along MN 62 (minus the 100 that was added to them) reflect this original proposed terminus.

Also, as I understand it, it wasn't NIMBY's that stopped it, but changing priorities at the county level.  Then-CSAH 18/now-US 169 in particular was becoming problematic to fund and construct.  I still remember when the last "inside the Beltline" segment next to Hopkins wasn't yet completed.

Also, as I understand it, it wasn't NIMBY's that stopped it, but changing priorities at the county level.  Then-CSAH 18/now-US 169 in particular was becoming problematic to fund and construct.  I still remember when the last "inside the Beltline" segment next to Hopkins wasn't yet completed.


Looking at the maps after the previous posts, that looked like it made the most sense.  MN is not fast to build highways.

So was this proposed freeway/roadway/whatever then supposed to follow some new alignment? I ask because I measured the distance on Google Earth following CSAH-62 and it pretty well measures out (within error) to being the start of Mile 100 at the CSAH-62/101 intersection.

Edit: So the route logpoint states that the present-day Metro MN-62 begins at mile 103.592. There is no way to get to MN-7 with that short of a path (ie ~3.6 miles) without cutting a brand new route through all those suburban housing developments, and I find it hard to believe that ever was MnDOT's intention.

It would have followed the existing CSAH 62 alignment west to roughly Scenic Heights Dr, then turned on new alignment northwest and north through what is now Purgatory Park to the general MN 7/CSAH 101 vicinity.  Back in the early 1960s when planning first began, there was little in the way of "suburban housing development" out there.  Now while that started changing in the mid 1960s, the general proposed corridor remained intact at least into the early 1970s.

Some iterations had it tying into CSAH 101 at Excelsior Blvd.  The length of this iteration roughly matches the mileposts along MN 62.

Also, this was planned under the county, not MnDOT.  MnDOT didn't take over the Crosstown until 1988, and even then the segment west of 494 remained under county control.

If I can find them when I get home, I'll post a couple map scans I have of the corridor online and share.

Haines City, FL US 17 and FL 17 intersect since US 27 ALT was decommissioned.  I am not sure but I think Polk County 17 meets the two, as its not signed there, but at nearby US 27 it shows CR 17 going east to that location in signage.

US 95 and AZ 95 in Quartzsite:

Actually it looks like AZ 95 might have been the result of US 95 being extended to Blythe.  AZ 95 at the time would have just ran from the border at San Luis north to AZ 72:

(https://www.arizonaroads.com/maps/1938-3.jpg)

I'd speculate that Arizona wanted US 95 to cross the Colorado in Parker and continue south to the border.  Given that former SSR 195 in California was a much straighter route from US 66 out of Needles to US 60/70 I'd speculate that's why it was chosen over the Arizona side:

http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~239588~5511892:Road-Map-of-the-State-of-California?sort=Pub_List_No_InitialSort%2CPub_Date%2CPub_List_No%2CSeries_No&qvq=q:caltrans;sort:Pub_List_No_InitialSort%2CPub_Date%2CPub_List_No%2CSeries_No;lc:RUMSEY~8~1&mi=69&trs=86

And AZ 95 didn't really change north of Quartzsite when US 95 made it to Arizona:

(https://www.arizonaroads.com/maps/1961-3.jpg)

But that said I really have no idea why there is a second section of AZ 95 north from Needles.  BTW, I can't believe Arizonaroads is still active:

Just like WY 89 and US 89. WY 89 was numbered as such back when US 89 ended in Spanish Fork UT, in hopes of getting 89 extended. Then, apparently US 89 was extended along today's US 189, and WY 89 was renumbered to 91 to reduce confusion. But then a few years later 89 was moved to its current route through UT and ID, and US 189 was created. WY was apparently so pissed off by this that they renumbered WY 91 back to WY 89.

Another US75 possibility would be to truncate US69 in Durant OK and reroute US 75 along the current US69 to Woodville. This would also require the current US75 being renumbered to IH45. This of course flies in the face of the idea that I45 will eventually extend along SH114 and US287 to Amarillo

Why would I-45 go to Amarillo?

Doesn't make sense to me either. NCTCOG would not cross the Dallas plan back in the 60's.  Texas is like it's own nation. Why build a n interstate to Oklahoma when you can build one across Texas. Also remember I45 and US75 complete one another even though they never meet.



So much on my Trite response. It is more likely they are waiting until they finish the toll roads before they look for Interstate numbering.

I don't fully disagree with you. The Arkansas segment is a mess. So I understand, it will be slightly CLOSER to go through Texarkana and Little Rock.

Interstate 30 is near capacity. There needs to be some relief. This said the Arkansas routing of I69 us not the answer. They take diagonal path and put a significant east west segment in.

Then they cross the Mississippi river too far south. The road should cross at farthest south around Clarksdale Ms if not nearing Tunica. The Arkansas segment should run from Haughton La to Eldorado Ar, to Monticello AR. , Skipping McGehee to near Dumas then run up the west bank to the crossing.

To me crossing nearer to Tunica is the better choice it adds an additional crossing for greater Memphis.

But east central Arkansas wants a bridge in the middle of nowhere.

So yes, I agree if they run all over Arkansas to me it is a deal breaker.

Historic examples includes M-10 and US-10 in Flint in the 1930s, US-24 and M-24 in Pontiac (before I-75 was built in the 1960s), US-25 and M-25 in the thumb, US-112 and M-112 at the current day Exit 210 on I-94.

I don't know that it's actually true that AZ 95 exists in California - there is no record of that being the case in any of AZDOT's documentation that I've ever been able to find - nor is it borne out in the mileposts or in AZDOT's route log.

That said, this is my favorite of the Needles signs

Then they cross the Mississi river too far south. The road should cross at farthest south around Clarksdale Ms if not nearing Tunica. The Arkansas segment should run from Haughtiness La to Eldorado Ar, to Monticello AR. , Skipping Mcgehe to neat Dumas then run up the west bank to the crossing.

To me crossing nearer to Tunica is the better choice it adds an additional crossing for greater Memphis.

Bur east central Arkansas wants a bridge in the middle of nowhere.

So yes, I agree if they run all over Arkansas to me it is a deal breaker.

What you're describing was originally proposed by Arkansas congressman Dickey back when the routing for High Priority Corridor #18 -- as I-69 -- was being finalized circa 1995 (NHS legislation from that year).  It became a controversy and more or less a tug-of-war between Mississippi and Arkansas.  AR wanted I-69 to head straight up US 79 via Pine Bluff and exit into MS somewhere around the US 49 Mississippi River bridge; MS originally wanted to route I-69 straight down US 61 to US 82, then turn west via Greenville and thence into AR.  So what eventually was proposed was called the "Dickey Split", where both alignments  (US 82/61 and US 79/49) would have been built, possibly as a E/W arrangement.  The divergence point would have been near El Dorado, with the reconnection north of the point where US 49 and US 61 meet in northern MS.  But two alignments were eventually considered redundant, and the alignment favoring MS was selected but rerouted to follow US 278 across the southern part of AR rather than US 82, deemed too close to the parallel I-20 (the presence of U of A/Monticello was also one of the deciding factors in this instance).  Even though the Pine Bluff alignment was not selected,  as a "consolation prize" the use of corridor funds to extend I-530 south of Pine Bluff to intersect I-69 west of Monticello was tacked on to the corridor's authorizing legislation in the form of an additional SIU.  Ironically, that I-530 extension, even as the 2-lane expressway AR 530, will in all likelihood be completed well before mainline I-69; it's about 60% done today.

But that said I really have no idea why there is a second section of AZ 95 north from Needles.  BTW, I can't believe Arizonaroads is still active:

https://www.arizonaroads.com/maps/index.html
I remember reading that AZ 95's two segments are officially connected via Needles and I-40, but it's (naturally) unsigned on the California side (because why would California recognize it), meaning there's a US 95/AZ 95 overlap in California!

There are a couple more non-cutout US Shields in California that I've found:

Really I get what AZDOT was going for with a state highway to Needles, I'm just not getting why it has to be numbered "95" of all things.  If route continuity was such a big thing than AZDOT should have adopted Mohave County Routes 1 and 10 south to I-40 through Toppock...it isn't like there aren't already two AZ 95Ss connecting to California already.

Yes on the bear hunts.  Seminole County near Wekiva State Park seems to be the worst where suburbia come right up to wilderness areas.

My uncle saw a bear in the neighborhood where he anf my parents live in Middleburg, Clay County near Jacksonville.

US 25 and GA 25 meet (hidden designation for US 17); but there's also a signed Spur Route GA 25 where they meet in Brunswick:

Georgia: "Hidden" but "not hidden", except where denoted (or forgotten) is more like it.

And of course, there's the tiny portion of GA 25 northwest of Savannah that is not US 17.

Arkansas has I-49 and US 49.

US 70 crosses TX 70.

US 59 comes within about 2 miles from AR 59 in the Siloam Springs area. I don't know if there was a "border war" or if AR 59 just happens to have the same number.

There might have been a disagreement between Oklahoma and Arkansas over the routing of US 71. The 1927 official Oklahoma shows US 71 running through Oklahoma between Fort Smith and Mena.

If you include situations where a road continues under the same number but in a different class, this is not terribly uncommon.

In California, I-15, I-110, I-210, and I-238 all continue under the same number but as state routes instead of Interstates.

In Pennsylvania, US 222 continues as PA 222 in Allentown. I was also going to suggest I-378 as a historical example, but I believe the non-freeway portion south of the Lehigh River wasn't designated as PA 378 until the Interstate designation was removed.

In California I-710 was going to continue as CA-710 if the freeway was going to expand from Alhambra to Pasadena at the CA-134@ I-210.

Also there were old maps showing that there was going to be a CA-380 west of I-380@ I-280 interchange in San Bruno.

There are also lollipop-shaped routes that intersect themselves. Like QC 132, which loops around the Gaspe Peninsula and back to intersect itself near Mont-Joli.

So, you can't have a US highway and interstate in the same state.
Is this is a serious rule?

Yes, and until the 74/74 and 41/41 abominations came along, to the best of my knowledge Illinois had the only exception, with the reasoning being that the two routes were so far apart that no one would get them confused.

No such rule in Michigan.  We currently have I- and M-69, 75, 94, and 96; US-10 and M-10; US-24 and M-24; and US-45 and M-45.  Used to be even more.  Michigan actually originally made a point of assigning nearby M and US routes the same number.  Thus we used to have US-112 and M-112 running parallel only about a mile or so apart between Detroit and Ypsilanti, M-131's southern terminus used to be at US-131's northern terminus, and similar with 24 and 25.

Most of Michigan's current number duplications are far part enough that there's no confusion, although I-96/M-96 aren't all that far apart, nor are I-75/M-75 and US-24/M-24.  The latter have interchanges with I-75 only 12 miles apart and there are signs on I-75 to remind motorists of the distinction.
