How many of you know Interstates Shorter than 30 Miles? :hmmm:

Just for the 2-digit Interstate routes: I-97, H-1, H-2, H-3. Also I-69C, and the newly-approved I-69W, at least until planned extensions are completed.
Most three-digit Interstates, too. Easier to name the longer exceptions, like I-476 (PA) and I-135 (KS).
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/reports/routefinder/ is the place to look up this kind of question (though not completely up-to-date).
I-97 in Maryland is ~17 miles. There are wayyyy too many 3dis that are shorter than 30 miles, so I won't list those...
EDIT: Damn, Oscar beat me to it.
Go here

and scroll down to "Travels by Highway" to see all of the Interstates and disjoint segments of Interstates, sorted from shortest to longest. Lengths in CHM are approximate, but generally pretty close. Looks like there are almost 200 such examples when we include 3di's and disjoint segments (such as parts of I-74 and I-69 that are not connected to their longest segment(s)).
Just so you know, there is one in MY Area, Interstate 595 (The REAL One), It's only 12.8 Miles :pan:
You can look it up on Wikipedia for more information
Let's refrain from the unnecessary colors, shall we?
I-440 near Little Rock is just over 9 miles.
I-430 is just over 12 miles.
I-540 at Fort Smith is just over 14 miles.
I-587 and I-444 and I-175/375 in Florida are some of the shortie at interstates

I-565 in north Alabama is 22 miles long.

Both iterations of I-291 (CT and MA) are under 30 miles in length, and under 30 miles apart.

Interstate 195 and 395 are also under 30 miles :-/
I-189 Vermont and I-381 Virginia are basically long exit/entrance ramps.
I'm really not sure why this is a thread. If it was meant to list really short 2dis, then it was over at post #2. If we're talking about 3dis, then the answer is the vast majority of them.
He was asking how many of us know of Interstates less than 30 miles.
The answer is 118.

I-370 of Maryland, clocking in at 2.54 miles. I wish the ICC didn't cut the Shady Grove Metro part out though...

The 195's in New Jersey and Rhode Island/Mass and the 395 in Conn/Mass aren't. And with that, the potential interestingness of this thread reaches its zenith.
Umm, What?

You said Interstate 195 and 395 are under 30 miles, but there are Interstates with those same designations in other states (not Florida) that are longer than 30 miles.

I only know one Interstate, and that's Interstate 516 in Savannah.

587 is a joke. It's more of a joke than I-790 and I-189. Western terminus is a roundabout with a direct ramp to I-87 and, until recently, the Esopus Creek bridge was undivided. I-87 has no references to the bastard child of an Interstate that 587 is. Even more of a joke is I-180 in Cheyenne. Connected to I-80 with a diamond and only 2 instances of grade separation, with every intersecting road meeting it at a light.
I-172 (IL)
I-180 (IL)
I-190 (IL and SD)
I-280 (IL/IA)
I-290 (IL, at exactly 29.84 Mi :spin: )
I-474 (IL)
There are four in Indiana:
I-469
I-164 (Soon to be I-69)
I-265 (Soon to be over 30)
I-865 :-D
In northern california theres I-305 in Sacramento and its 8 miles long buts its known as us-50. In the bay area theres I-238 and i-380 and they are less than 5 miles. Also old I-480 , 980 and 780 are less than 30 miles
Both sides of I-676 in NJ and PA are less than 7 miles combined.
A lot of 3 digit interstates are less than 30 miles (Examples: I-195 I-295 I-395 I-495 I-595 etc.) :poke:

Where the food did you specify that this was only for two digit Interstates? X-(

The OP did not specify
I-895 is so short and under used, it should be a shame to call it an interstate or at least give it a full number anyway. It should be a Spur I-95 or even Spur I-278. Yes, I know it was to be part of a longer interstate that never got built due to community opposition, but nonetheless its a wasted number just as I-695 is just a few miles away.
True at least I-695 is used and serves as an important connector between two other longer interstates, but it is a wasted number as well. Just like the Eastern branch of the BQE is numberless, this short connector could be or given I-295 Spur like I-270 in MD has.
No one has posted for a while,is this boring? :pan:
Yes. It is also unnecessary. Furthermore, it's very rude of you to insist on someone posting in your thread. If it's been done, it's been done... :rolleyes:
Nobody's mentioned I-366 yet. :bigass:

How many Interstates are you friends with that are between 30 and 37 miles?

I-490 is technically 37 and a half miles, but I think of it like a friend.

The speed limit will be 85.
I-57 in Missouri is around 22 miles ;)
