Today's Featured Article on Wikipedia (for August 12) is California State Route 52 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_52), which bears the hatnote: ""CA 52" redirects here. For the congressional district, see California's 52nd congressional district (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California%27s_52nd_congressional_district)" like so many other highway numbers that line up with congressional district numbers. In a coincidence, SR 52 runs through a part of the 52nd district there as well. I wonder if there are any other cases that align in such a fashion.
In Indiana SR 2 runs through the 2nd congressional district, SR 3 runs through the 3rd congressional district and SR 5 goes into the 5th congressional district.
To follow up to my own question, the closest answer for Michigan is that US 12 runs through the 12th district, but no state highways match up at this time.
North Carolina: NC 2, NC 8, NC 10 and US 13 run through their respective Congressional Districts.
None in Kentucky. We have six districts. When we had seven districts, KY 7 ran through it.

Shouldn't that be headnote? They're not called shoenotes.

The western terminus of US 2 is in Washington's 2nd district...unfortunately, there's no other overlaps after they moved the districts around after the 2010 Census.
The low number of examples means we need more gerrymandering.
WV only has three districts (BTW, only WV has actually lost population in total (not %age) terms since 1930, while the country as a whole has gained almost 130M and thus WV has lost 50% of its seats, something no other state has done since the immediate post revolutionary era). Anyway there is no WV 1, but WV 2 passes through parts of all three districts, and WV 3 is completely within the 3rd district.
This is only sort of related, but Louisiana DOTD's highway maintenance districts were originally based on the congressional district boundaries of the time they were created (at least the 1930s, if not earlier). To some extent they still overlap, despite redistricting and the elimination of congressional district 8 after the 1990 census, as the cores of the House districts have not really moved. That is why there is no current DOTD district 1, as congressional district 1 was originally just the city of New Orleans (too small and too few state highway miles to justify a separate maintenance area) and so it has long been merged into district 2. Also, this explains the numbering of district 58 (split off from maintenance districts 5 and 8 in the 1950s) and 61 and 62 (an even division of old maintenance district 6). I wonder how many other state DOTs used this practice.
