The Junction Game

This is a counting game I thought of that might be fun for us.

Each number is to be made up of two highway routes that intersect each other.  So if the next number is 249, someone needs to find a spot where a highway 24 and highway 9 intersect or a spot where a highway 2 intersects a highway 49.

Try and use at least state highways and above.  If we get stumped, then we can cheat with county roads to move us along.

Give answers with a location, too.  So in the example, I might say:
249:
US 24 and IL 9, Banner, IL.

Or if I was going the other way,

249:
MO 2 and I-49, Harrisonville, MO.

You only need to find one junction to advance the game to the next number.
Suffixed routes will count if they must.  So will 'secret' designations if we can't find a signed junction.  Same goes where there is a grade separation, but no access; only if we have to.




I will start us at 101 because there are no highway 0's anywhere.  (For that reason, we shall skip multiples of 100.)  I'll do a couple so you can pick up the idea.

101:
I-10 and CA 1; Santa Monica, CA.

102:
MD 10 and MD 2; Pasadena, MD

103:
WV 10 and WV 3; West Hamlin, WV

Next person will do 104. And so on.
This should get easier the as the target numbers get bigger.

But not a spot where a highway 2, highway 4, and highway 9 all come together?

Also, are county routes allowed in this game?  If so, it would open so many more options...

Arkansas Highways 10 and 7 intersect (and briefly multiplex) in Ola for a more legitimate answer.

TravelingBethelite

In case we need an in-country example for "109", NH 9 & 10 meet in Keene.

US 1 (in a concurrency w/I-95) and US 44 meet in Providence, RI. (144)

TX Loop 1 and TX 45 meet southwest of Austin, TX (145)

US 1 (& 9) meet US 46 in Palisades Park, NJ. (146)

US 1 intersects VA 47 in South Hill, VA. (147)

US 1?/NJ 31 in Trenton, NJ

NJ 31 ends at US 206, which is inconsistently signed as US 1 Business (and used to be US 1 Alternate) but that's not an official route according to NJDOT or AASHTO.  NJ 31 doesn't touch mainline US 1.  So we might want a better answer here.

County 1/I-35 in Rice County, MN (and a lot more county 1/I-35 intersections)

Curious you didn't use US 1/NJ 35 in Woodbridge here.  Might be a better answer in case word comes from on high that county routes don't count.  (Though personally, if they're well signed like Minnesota's -- and New Jersey's for that matter -- I don't see the problem.)

Also, we skipped 142 and 143... sadly drawing a blank off the top of my head.
