I now only have 2 Interstates in TX yet to finish, but it will take 2 days to do - 1 day to get them, 1 to drive a slow route back to the origin. (I-110 El Paso and I-20 west of Fort Worth)

I only have I-40 east of Raleigh and I-10 east of I-75 left

I finally drove on a piece of I-59 (from US-43 to I-65)

Ah, the open skies, wind at my back, warm sun on my... wait, where the hell am I?!
As a matter of fact, I do own the road.
Raise your what?

Have to go into Mexico to get I-110 fully. :>

Wow. I didn't even know there was an I-110 in El Paso. It beggars belief that less than a mile of road can get its own Interstate number when it's just a glorified ramp. But it's only 711 miles from my home, so my previous post was wrong. If I do I-25 this summer, I'll be sure to drive down there to clinch it, along with the little exposed tail of US-85.

Street view also shows that you can do a U-turn about 100 yards before the customs plaza.

As someone who used to work on intelligent transportation systems policy specifically at borders, such u-turns can raise the attention of CBP/Border Patrol, depending on who's running the unit at the specific crossing. :D

Maybe, but there is a sign right there saying that a U-turn is permitted. I would think that in the course of a typical day, more than a few cars would end up there by mistake, especially since the choice is committed to all the way up at the insanely complicated I-10 interchange.
