There are a few cities that are served by three primary interstates (no spurs or beltways) whose numbers ALL end in 0 or 5, such as Atlanta (20, 75, 85) or Dallas (20, 30, 45). But I wanted to know if there are any cities that are served by three primary interstates whose numbers do NOT end in 0 or 5. I can think of a few cities that have three interstates with TWO such-numbered interstates (Cincinnati: 71, 74, 75; Columbia, SC: 20, 26, 77; Slidell, LA: 10, 12, 59), but are there any cities where all THREE interstates end with a number other than 0 or 5?
Chicago: 57, 88, 94
Milwaukee: 41, 43, 94
Huntington: 64, 73, 74 :bigass:
Hartford, a while ago (84, 86, 91); back when this was on the charts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIpfWORQWhU
Harrisburg: 76, 83, 81.
Charleston, WV: 64, 77 and 79.
Champaign, IL: 74, 72 and 57.
Close but not quite: Pittsburgh PA with 76 and 79 (maybe 67 could make it a valid answer here :) ).
Might count: Binghamton, NY with 81, 86, and 88 (I say might because if we're just going by city limits here, 88 and 86 currently do not enter the city limits, unless I'm missing something)
Assuming you're not focused strictly on the city limits and are instead looking at the metro area, Honolulu with H-1, H-2, and H-3 :bigass:

If I-476 counts as a primary interstate (which it should) and we're going by area rather than city limits, then Scranton makes the list with 81, 84, and 476.
Unsigned PRI-1, PRI-2, and PRI-3 converge on San Juan PR.
Nothing in Alaska has more than two unsigned Interstates, unless you really stretch to deem A-4 as serving Anchorage (in addition to A-1 and A-3, which both enter the city limits). A-4 does pass through some of Anchorage's outer suburbs like Wasilla, which are in another borough but are included in the Anchorage MSA.
Once/if southern Texas gets done with its projects (even though I'm not a fan of all the suffixed I-69s), the McAllen-Brownsville area would have the suffixed I-69s and I-2. Would that count?

Interesting that you cited this one because I've actually driven through Charleston before and never noticed. Good catch.
Also, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised about Chicago. I'd imagine it is the only "big" city that would have interstates falling in this category because of the high number of original interstates (not 3dis) in Illinois.
So, would there be more cities with three non-x0 and non-x5 interstates or cities with three x0 and x5 interstates?
Bingahmton NY when all is said and done will have I-81, I-86, and I-88
Champaign, IL has 57, 72, 74.
Spoiler alert: there are zero examples west of the Mississippi, unless you count adventurernumber1's example with suffixed I-69s.
Newburgh/Middletown Golden Triangle: 84, 86, 87 will intersect each other within a relatively short distance as soon as I-86 gets posted (adjacent Thruway exits).
Akron, OH comes close, but I-71 is a tad too far away for it to count.
Milwaukee will have 3 once I-41 is finished.

That said, Chicagoland (city, suburbs, satellite cities) has I-55, I-65, I-80, and I-90 for four x0 and x5 interstates.
On the flip side, there's I-57, I-88, and I-94 for three non x0 or x5 interstates. It gets both categories. Is there another area that has entries in both categories?

In order to have entries in both categories, you'd need a city with six 2dis. That probably eliminates any other possibilities by itself.
Other than Chicago and suburbs, I can't find any cities with three x0 and x5 freeways except:
Atlanta - 20, 75, 85
Dallas - 20, 30, 35(E), 45
Toledo - 75, 80, 90
Los Angeles would need I-15 to count and that's a stretch.

Interesting to me because for some reason I thought about it and concluded 77 doesn't go to Charleston, even though I've driven it out of there.
Once I-22 gets completed, Birmingham will have I-22, I-59, and I-459 if we are including 3dis.

I don't believe we're including 3dis.
But, that will make Birmingham another city to list on the thread that would have an equal amount of x5/x0 interstates and other interstates.

US 41 is currently being upgraded to Interstate standards in Wisconsin, also upgrading it to I-41 in the process.

OTOH, you have Delaware, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Wyoming which are only served by x0 and x5 interstates. Delaware, Maine and Rhode Island by virtue of having a lone 2di each (And it's I-95 in all three!). However, Nevada will fall off when I-11 is signed.

Previous examples have counted the concept of serving a city as meaning serving their metropolitan area. So if it's a difference between Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas, I would say they're both served by the presence of that road in that area, and it fits as well as a lot of the other examples here.
NYC has only two I-78 and I-87, but if you included three-digit interstates then you pick up I-278, I-678, the unsigned I-478, and NY 878, which used to be I-878. If you expand to the metropolitan area, then you get I-287 and I-684.

You could also say that New Hampshire barely has I-95. I think I-95 only lasts for about 20 miles in NH, but I'm not sure offhand. I'm sure WV's I-70 is even shorter.

Damn them RI NIMBYs who stopped I-84 to Providence. If you count White River Junction/St. Johnsbury VT as one "metropolitan" area, you'd have I-89, I-91, and I-93.

Ummm...no. That's like saying Buffalo and Rochester are in the same metropolitan area. Might be separated by a relatively short distance, but there's a whole lot of nothing between them.
From personal experience, there's 59 miles on I-91 between I-89 and I-93.

However, the drive on I-95 seems MUCH longer than the drive on I-70 despite only being a couple of miles longer.
