Title: In-&-Back Routes (between states, counties, etc.)
Post by: golden eagle on October 14, 2009, 12:41:55 AM
There's a similar topic about in the thread about Wyoming 230, which involves highways entering the same state twice. This one is about counties.

Let's say you're driving I-59 north from New Orleans. As you get deeper into Mississippi, you'll enter Lamar County. The next county is Forrest County (where most of Hattiesburg is located, though a part of it is in Lamar). A couple of miles or so later, I-59 curves back slightly to the northwest and re-enters Lamar County, only to curve back northeasterly into Forrest.

The same thing happens here in the Jackson area. I-55 enters Hinds County and eventually multiplexes with I-20 and crosses into neighboring Rankin County. Just inside Rankin, I-55 splits away and proceeds northward and as it does so, it re-enters Hinds County and the city of Jackson.  I-55 also enters Jackson south of the multiplex with I-20 in south Jackson.

A couple of perimeter interstates do this as well. I-285 crosses into Fulton County, GA three times: on the west side of Atlanta coming out of Cobb County, in extreme southeast Atlanta from Clayton County and in north Fulton around Sandy Springs coming out of Dekalb County.

I-465 in the Indianapolis does this as well. The northern ring on the interstates starts in extreme southeastern Boone County from I-865, crosses into Marion County (Indy), cuts into extreme southern Hamilton County and back into Marion to complete its ring around the city until it meets I-865 in Boone County.

I-40 does this in Carroll County, Tennessee, if I remember correctly.

I-80 does this in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, oscillating between Placer and Nevada Counties west of Truckee.

On the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, US 50 alternates between Carson City and Douglas County southwest of downtown Carson City.

M-134 does this in the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  It begins at I-75 in Mackinac County, crosses into Chippewa County east of Cedarville, re-enters Mackinac County briefly, & finally enters Chippewa County for good, where it passes through De Tour Village, crosses the De Tour Passage via ferry and travels on Drummond Island, where it ends.

Numerous examples of this....and a Mississippi example the OP missed is I-55 and Carroll County (on either side of Winona).

Far rarer are examples of highways that enter the same state twice.  One that comes to mind is US 52/US 119 along the KY/WV border.

Yes, this is rather common in Kentucky.

And to cite a state example, West Virginia also has US 50. Traveling west to east you go OH-WV-MD-WV-VA-DC-MD again.

And there are roads that straddle state lines, like WV/VA 127.

US 90 & I-10 cross Holmes and Washington Counties, back and forth, twice in the FL Panhandle.
US 90 does the same with Leon and Jefferson Counties, east of Tallahassee
FL 21 crosses into Clay County twice near Keystone Heights.
FL 436 crosses into Orange County twice, as does US 441 near Apopka, and FL 434.
FL 46 clips extreme small portions of Volusia County, near Geneva.

That's about it.

NY31 does it between Palmyra and Newark, NY. Heading east, you start in Wayne County, then dip briefly into Ontario County when the road bends slightly southward (following the Erie Canal) before reentering Wayne County. It is in Ontario County for less than a mile.

NY3 does it in the Adirondacks, too...going eastward again, it's in Franklin County for a while, then enters Essex County for a while, then reenters Franklin County.

In West Virginia:

US 119 (Corridor G) heading south from Charleston in Kanawha goes into Lincoln, then back into Kanawha, then back to Lincoln, before finally entering Boone, then later as mentioned goes from Mingo (in WV) into Pike (in KY) and back several times.

It is unsigned, but US 52 leaves Mingo and enters Logan for less than 100 yards on top of Horsepin Mountain before reentering Mingo.

Speaking of Indiana, I-64 in the south goes from Spencer County east of US 231 and into Dubois County, before going back into Spencer and then back into Dubois for good. To make this more interesting, the border between Spencer and Dubois counties is also the time zone line. So you go from Central into Eastern, then back to Central before finally entering Eastern for good. Who says time travel isn't possible?

I-8 goes east out of San Diego county into Imperial County, goes north, then west back into San Diego County, and then goes north and east back into Imperial County in California.

looking at the map, I-8 east seems to switch three full times (SD-Imp-SD-Imp-SD-Imp), but there are only three signs the last I remember (Imp-SD-Imp) because the middle switch is only for a couple dozen feet, as the highway travels almost due north-south.

I-8 west seems to have only two switches (Imp-SD-Imp-SD) by virtue of being a few feet west of I-8 east.  If I recall correctly, there is only one "San Diego County" sign.

meanwhile, to the east of all these switches, firmly in Imperial County, I-8's carriageways are separated by as much as a mile. 

this is all due to the terrain: the SD-Imp county line is a line due north-south but the mountains prevent such easy navigation in real life.

I don't think all those transitions on US 119 between Lincoln and Kanawha are signed. IIRC traveling northbound, signage only indicates Boone-Lincoln-Kanawha. The unsigned transition is where the Coal River makes a loop and the highway cuts across that loop.

That's of interest to me since my grandfather Elkins was from Lincoln County.

The entrance of US 52 into Logan County is where WV 44 (old US 119) turns off. WV 44 never enters Mingo.

Those are the quick few that poped in my head.

Along the same line you have I-80 in IL that WB goes Will, Kendall, then Grundy County, while EB goes Grundy to Will County.  Plus, IL 4 & 13 that SB IL 4/EB IL 13 goes St. Clair to Randolph County, while NB IL 4/WB IL 13 goes Randolph, Washington, then St. Clair County.

An occasion of an interstate doing this that comes to mind is I-70 - in between Zanesville & Columbus - back & forths between Licking County & Muskingum County.

A non-interstate example that comes to mind is US-219... which bounces back & forth between Jefferson & Clearfield (Pennsylvania) counties a couple of times, starting south of DuBois to Brockway.

Northbound I-5 does this with Clackamas and Washington Counties in Oregon. It enters Washington County north of Wilsonville at a north-northwest angle and curves north onto SW 65th Ave, the county line. Northbound reenters Clackamas County; southbound is in Washington County. The county-line straddle continues (on SW 65th Ave) on the Multnomah County side of the Multnomah-Clackamas border until I-5 curves away from Washington County into Portland just south of OR 99W.

What's particularly interesting about I-64/US 250 is that even though they're parallel along that corridor, the sequence of counties is slightly different.  US 250 clips the NW and NE corners of Fluvanna County, giving it an extra "repeat county".

I-64 (from the East)
Henrico
Goochland
Louisa
Goochland
Louisa
Fluvanna
Albemarle

US 250 (from the East)
Henrico
Goochland
Louisa
Goochland
Fluvanna
Louisa
Fluvanna
Albemarle

Another I-64 instance in Virginia is near Williamsburg, where I-64 traverses (from the East):
Newport News
James City County
York County
James City County
New Kent County

And on I-295 around Richmond (clockwise, from I-64 Short Pump):
Henrico County
Hanover County
Henrico County
Chesterfield County

And, although I don't count them, one could argue that Virginia's independent cities allow for repeat counties on all sorts of Interstates, US Routes, and State Routes.

Georgia State Route 212 enters Newton and Jasper counties three times, as it straddles these two county lines. Cities served by this route are Monticello, county seat of Jasper County, and Milledgeville, countyseat of Baldwin County and the former capital of Georgia, from 1806 to 1868. Louisville (pronounced Loo-is-ville) preceded Milledgeville as Georgia's capital (1796 to 1806) and Milledgeville was succeded by the current capital, Atlanta (1868 to present).

If I am not mistaken, the Blue Ridge Parkway meanders across county lines several times through Virginia.

There are several instances of this in Kentucky, probably too numerous to mention. For those of you who like Kentucky's four-digit routes, KY 2022 does this. Begins at Buckhorn in Perry County, crosses a very remote corner of Owsley County, then terminates in a "landlocked" area of Perry County where you cannot reach this area by highway without going out of the county. I believe Froggie drove this paved goat path when he made a trip to eastern Kentucky a few years ago.

To elaborate on US-212, it appears that the US Forest Service maintains the road within Wyoming, as that's the only place you'll find reassurance shields without identifying markers in Wyoming, and the signs are really old, but built to Wyoming spec (2di width). The only normal WYDOT signs you'll find are the ones right by the WYO 296 junction for that highway.

Also, if you want to be technical, US-212 again enters Wyoming from Montana and clips the northeastern corner of the state before heading into South Dakota


Also in Wyoming, US-191 briefly re-enters Wyoming from Montana and then leaves it again just north of W. Yellowstone, Mont.


Wyoming State Highway 70 actually enters Colorado, but Wyoming keeps maintenance...

Is it the Forest Service or Park Service?  I passed what looked like a highway maintenance facility climbing up to Beartooth Pass that had a Park Service shield at the gate and thought that was pretty odd.

And of course, that stretch of NY 17/future I-86 has an exit in PA, for US 220.  US 220's entry, or not, depending on how you look at it, is another topic all together.  NY 17 didn't always dip into PA in Sayre/South Waverly.  It has been the case only since the Southern Tier Expressway was built.

Yes, I do have pictures, but I will eventually get to uploading that.  Please be patient.

Chris:  we did...a month ago (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=1800.0).  With plenty of other examples...

Slightly different, the other thread was about counties.

Well, there is an interesting case of Maine route 113. It briefly enters New Hampshire, twice! And it is even signed as ME 113 in NH! What is more bizarre is that there is even a spur off of ME 113 in NH, that is NH 113B. Odd occurance of a Maine route's spur being a NH route.t

There is also MD/DE 54 that straddles along the DE/MD border on the southern part of DE.

NH 153 also briefly dips into Maine, and even includes a shield for what looks like ME 153.  ME 153, however, is much further north and east, near Dover-Foxcroft.

And since ME 113 was brought up, I do have a few photo examples of the route during its course in New Hampshire.

But could have easily been about states as well, and some state examples were also included.

A good point - the two topics essentially follow the same subjects.  I merged the county one in with this one.

TH 23 in Minnesota briefly crosses into Wisconsin - though the layman wouldn't know it because it isn't marked.

Around Iron Mountain - US 2 and 141 cross from Michigan into Wisconsin, then back into Michigan - then 141 crosses back into Wisconsin again.

In and out of counties?

I-355 in Illinois starts in Will County, enters Cook County at 135th Street, re-enters Will County on the Des Plains River Bridge (but not the county line is not marked there), and finally enters DuPage County at 87th Street (between Boughton Road and the toll plaza).

Then there's US-30.  US-30 goes from Kendall County near Aurora into Kane County, and then becomes the county line road.  The westbound lanes are thus: Kendall > Kane, and the eastbound lanes are thus: Kane > Kendall > Kane > Kendall.

I-290 starts and ends in Cook County but has a stint in DuPage County between Devon Avenue and the Tri-State Tollway.  It also has the bizarreness of having 1/3-2/5 of the St. Charles Road interchange being in Cook County while the interstate is in DuPage County.

The Elgin-O'Hare (aka Neither Elgin nor O'Hare) Expressway starts in DuPage County at US-20, crosses into Cook County for most of its exits and length, and ends at IL-53 in DuPage County.

And let's not forget I-94, US-12, and US-41 going from Lake County to Cook County to Lake County, Indiana. :D

Yes, but US141 in particular crosses back and forth 4 times before settling on Wisconsin.

Scroll about halfway down the page to see the sequence of signs as NY 17 enters PA, intersects US 220, then re-enters NY.

NY 120A dips into Connecticut twice. And for the more southerly of the two, it spends a fair amount of distance right on top of the state line, including the Hutch/Merritt interchnage.

This is also right in the same area as I-684 clipping the northwest corner of Greenwich (only place in the country where an interstate enters a state but lacks an interchange in it).

In addition, there is an area in the northwestern corner of the next town over (Stamford) that can only be reached from the rest of town by driving through Greenwich or New York. The road leading there through Greenwich is actually maintained by the city of Stamford:
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg690.imageshack.us%2Fimg690%2F6470%2Fstamfordnwcorner.png&hash=828dd9a2a9f357b13a38271ef7b14e9f6a3f5c4c)

So, the town of Greenwich is actually encroached upon from all three sides it can be (Long Island Sound precludes any potential encroachment from the fourth). Conclusion? The weight of the gold from all those hedge funds is exerting a gravitational pull on the surrounding road networks. :-D

That is not true. Interstate 95/495 crosses into the most southerly tip of DC on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, and obviously there are no exits (unless one doesn't count federal territories in the list).

Also, I-76 enters Nebraska but there is no interchange in the Cornhusker State besides at I-80.


You just contradicted yourself  ;-)

A couple Nevada examples exist:

* SR 447 is almost entirely in Washoe County, with a large stretch paralleling its eastern border with Humboldt County. South of Empire, the route jogs east into Humboldt County for about 10 miles, although this section is mileposted as being in Washoe County (the county line may not even be marked on signs).

* SR 361 starts in Mineral County, then crosses into Nye County and the town of Gabbs. North of the town, the route briefly enters Mineral County again before entering Churchill County.  The northern Mineral County section is only about 2.5 miles and is mileposted as being part of Nye County, although the county line is marked on signs.

* US 95 travels 107 miles through Nye County, then 44 miles in Esmeralda County.  Approaching the town of Tonopah, US 95 enters Nye County again (Tonopah is the county seat). The route picks up US 6 and heads north/west out of town, just to enter Esmeralda County again and travel another 40+ miles until reaching Mineral County.

US 26 heading west of Portland OR leaves Washington Co to briefly enter Columbia County, followed by an even more brief return to Washington Co, then a few miles in Tillamook Co, before finally entering Clatsop Co.  I don't believe there are any major road junctions in this stretch, but there is a State Forest trailhead for the Four County Trail, where a path leads to a marker where those four counties meet: Oregon's version of the Four Corners.  Probably no big deal in other states where this happens all over the place, but it's unique in Oregon.
