Because Wikipedia deleted the original article, I was just wondering if you guys know any US/State highways that have been bypassed and/or replaced by interstate highways. For example, most of US 80 has been replaced by I-8, I-10, I-20, I-85, and I-16, US 66 has been replaced by I-10, I-15(?), I-40, I-44, and I-55 and I-90 follows US 20 from Chicago to its eastern terminus in Boston. Any other highways?
With the exception of the northern most 150 miles between Watertown, NY and Rouses Point, NY, US-11 between New Orleans, LA and Watertown, NY has been entirely paralleled by I-57, I-24, I-75, I-40, and I-81.
Much of former US 99 and US 99W now has parallel Interstate freeways. In northern California at least, some of the old US 99/99W is now Interstate business routes.
Many western Interstate business routes are former US routes bypassed by Interstate freeways. These would include parts of former US 40, west of its current terminus in Utah.
US-10 has been replaced with I-94 and I-90 west of Fargo.
US-16 has been mostly replaced with I-90, I-94, and I-96 east of Rapid City.
In Michigan alone:
US-12 (original routing)
US-16
US-25
US-27
In WI:
- US-12 from the Dells to Hudson. Serves no purpose other than as a local road, and could be turned back to the counties or replaced by state highways without anyone really noticing.
- US-51 from Portage to Beloit. It's still an important route serving several communities.
- Old US-16, which is pretty much today's WI-16.
I-83 between Baltimore and Harrisburg pretty much usurped the (former) US 111.
In IL:
I-39 for the Northern part of US 51 (Bloomington-Wisconsin)
I-74 for US 150
I-80 for US 6
I-88 for US 30
I-72 for US 36
I-70 for US 40
I-64 for US 460 (decommissioned)
I-57 for the Southern part of US 51 (Salem-Cairo)
I-57 for US 45 north of Effingham
I-24 for US 45
I-94 for US 41
I-55 for US 66 (decommissioned) was already mentioned in the OP
Indiana:
I-94 for US 12
I-80/90 for US 20
I-74 for US 136 (west of Indy) and US 52 (east of Indy)
I-70 for US 40
I-64 for US 460 (decommissioned and mostly became IN 62)
I-65 for US 41 (north of Crown Point), US 231 (Crown Point-Lafayette), US 52 (Lafayette-Indy) and US 31 (south of Indy)
I-69 for US 27 (north of Fort Wayne)
In Arizona, besides US 66 and US 80, US 89 has been replaced south of Flagstaff by I-17, I-10, and finally I-19.
I-10 has also replaced the westernmost 30 miles of US 60, and the short stretch of US 91, like most of the rest of its route, has been replaced by I-15.
Pennsylvania (ex 83 for US 111 which was already mentioned)
I-90 for US 20
I-79 for US 19 except for between I-376 and I-279
I-78 for US 22 (still run together from exit 8-51)
I-95 for US 13
I-76 for US 30 between Exit 67 and 161, and also between Exit 312 and Exit 344
I-70 for US 40 west of I-79
I-80 for US 322 between exits 66 and 123
I-84 for US 6
I-380 for Former US 611
I-80 for Former US 611 between I-380 and NJ
I-99/US 220 for Business US 220 and US 220 Alternate (Both former routings of US 220)
I-81 for US 11 between MD and Exit 65, Exit 170 to 194, Exit 223 to NY; Former US 309 from exits 138-170; US 22 from exits 67-89
I-283 for Former US 230
I-376 for US 22 Business
I-676 for the former routing of US 30
I-279 for US 19

Most* if not all of I-676 in PA is concurrent w/US 30. I don't believe that's what the OP had in mind.
*Some agencies view I-676 in PA & NJ as separate entities with the former connecting to I-95 at its eastern end. Using that philosophy; I-676 in PA from 8th St. to I-95 has no US 30 concurrency.
California:
I-5 replaced US 101 between the Mexican border and East Los Angeles, then US 99 between I-10 and Wheeler Ridge (and US 6 between Route 110 and Sylmar), then US 50 between Tracy and Stockton (a segment which was briefly US 99W in the 1930s), then US 99W from Woodland to Red Bluff and US 99 north to the Oregon border. A short segment in Orange County once was part of US 91 as well.
I-205 replaced US 50 between Altamont and I-5 (a former portion of US 48 as well)
I-8 took over mostly for what had been US 80.
I-10 between US 101 and Route 71 directly replaced US 60/70/99 (which were all concurrent with I-10 at one point). From Pomona to Beaumont 10 supplanted 70 and 99, and from Beaumont to Indio it took over 60/70/99 again. East of Indio to the Arizona state line, 10 replaced 60/70.
I-110 supplanted former US 6 from the Four-Level Interchange at US 101 in downtown Los Angeles to Route 1 near San Pedro.
I-210/Route 210 essentially bypassed old US 66 from Pasadena to San Bernardino
I-15 replaced US 395 between Route 163 in San Diego and Route 74 near Lake Elsinore, and from I-215 in Devore up to Hesperia. I-15 supplanted US 91 between Devore and the Nevada Border, and US 66 between Devore and Barstow.
I-215 supplanted US 395 along the entire Temecula-Devore corridor, and replaced US 91 from Riverside to Devore and US 66 from downtown San Bernardino to Devore.
I-40 bypassed old US 66 between Barstow and the Arizona state line
I-80 replaced US 40 in its entirety from SF to the Nevada border, excepting the portion that was once I-880 between West Sacramento and the North Highlands area. (What was once I-80 and is now Business I-80 directly replaced US 40/99E in the Sacramento and Arden areas, while what was once I-80 and Business I-80 but is now US 50 and unsigned I-305 supplanted what had been US 40/99W)
I-80 also replaced US 50 between US 101 in San Francisco and the MacArthur Maze in Oakland
I-280 between Route 82's northern terminus and the Alemany Maze in SF supplanted a former segment of US 101.
I-580 replaced US 50 between the Macarthur Maze and I-205 near Altamont (including a segment which had been US 101E and a segment which was one-time US 48), and supplanted old US 40 between the Maze and Albany
A bit of a stretch, but the I-880 corridor replaced Route 17 and part of Route 238, the latter of which was at various times US 101E and US 48.)
I-80 has bypassed all of US-46 in New Jersey, but US-46 remains an important link for traffic from Wayne and points west bound for the Lincoln Tunnel.

I-55 runs on much of the same pavement that Old US 66 ran on in IL...and I-55 from US 66 is mentioned in the OP. But I will not speak to the mind of the OP...only what was written

I don't mind if you guys include concurrencies or instances where interstate highways were built over the highway.

Huzzah!
In CA, there were several state highways that were subsumed by Interstates. One of the original ('57-'58 system) routes to be replaced was CA 16 between Woodland and Sacramento, supplanted by I-5 (originally I-5E) between those cities, although it utilized a different alignment for its eastern half. Even today it's a "split" route, with two distinct sections west of Woodland and east of Sacramento without any signed multiplex over I-5 (and US 50) between the two. In SoCal, the 1968-added I-15 extension subsumed the full alignment of CA 71 from Murietta to Corona and CA 31 from Corona to Devore (both today's N & S junctions with I-215, which itself subsumed US 395). Also, I-10 replaced SSR 26 between Santa Monica and downtown L.A. In addition, numerous 3di's took the place of former state routes: SSR 7 became part of I-405, SSR 118 was replaced by I-210 from San Fernando to Pasadena, I-605 subsumed former SSR 35 -- and the 1980's-added I-710 and I-110 replaced CA 7 and CA 11 respectively. Heading back north again, SSR 21 (and later, the post-'64 remnant of CA 21) was replaced by I-680.
Let's not dwell on 238 any longer than we have to! :no:
For Interstates that pass through New England
I-84: US 6 between Scranton, PA and Middletown, NY; NY 52 between the Middletown area and Brewster, (old) US 6 from Brewster to Southbury, CT; the former US 6A (now CT 64, SR 845, Waterbury city streets, SR 844) between Southbury and Southington, CT 10 from Southington to Farmington; the old path of US 6 from Farmington to Manchester, CT 30 from Manchester to Union; and Mashapaug Rd (old Route 15) from Union to the Mass Pike.
I-89: US 4 from Concord, NH to Quechee, VT; VT 14 from Quechee to Montpelier; US 2 from Montpelier to Colchester (joined with US 7 from Burlington north); US 7 to the Canadian border
I-90 (Chicago East): US 6/20 between Chicago and Cleveland; US 20 from Cleveland to Boston
I-91: US 5 its entire length, except for Main St in Hartford and CT 159 between the Charter Oak and Dexter-Coffin bridges.
I-93: Historic MA 128 from Canton to Braintree; Historic MA 3 from Braintree to Boston; US 3 from Boston to Franconia, NH, NH/VT 18 from Franconia to St Johnsbury, VT (also, MA/NH 28 between Randolph and Concord)
I-95: US 1 from Miami to Jacksonville, US 301 from Jacksonville to Petersburg, VA; US 1 from Petersburg to Baltimore; US 40 from Baltimore to Wilmington; US 13 from Wilmington to Bristol PA (coupled with US 1 north of Philly); US 1 from Bristol to the CT/RI border (also US 130 from Mansfield Twp to New Brunswick, NJ); RI 3 from Westerly to Providence; US 1 from Providence to Falmouth, ME; US 202 from Falmouth to Bangor; US 2 from Bangor to Houlton
I-384: US 6/44
I-189: city streets
I-190: MA 12
I-290: MA 12 from Auburn to Worcester; MA 9 from Worcester to Marlboro
I-291 (CT): CT 291 to US 5; CT 30 from US 5 to I-84 (and to a lesser extent, US 44)
I-291 (MA): MA 20A and US 20
I-391: MA 116
I-293: Historic NH 101 (E-W portion); US 3/NH 3A North-South portion
I-393: NH 9
I-195 (RI/MA): US 6
I-195 (ME); ME 5 and ME 112
I-295 (RI/MA): RI 5 from Cranston to Greenville; RI 116 from Greenville to Cumberland; RI 120 from Cumberland to Attleboro
I-395 (CT/MA): CT 32 from East Lyme to Norwich; CT/MA 12 from Norwich to Auburn
I-395 (ME): ME 9
I-495 (MA): MA 28 from Wareham to Middleboro; MA 140 from Middleboro to Milford; MA 85 from Milford to Bolton; MA 110 from Bolton to Salisbury
Silent I-495 in ME doesn't really replace anything.
BONUS: I-87: various streets from I-278 to I-95; US 9 to Tarrytown; NY 59 from Nyack to Suffern; NY 17 from Suffern to Harriman; NY 32 from Harriman to Albany (also US 9W from Nyack to Albany); US 20 briefly; US 9 from Albany to Canada.

In CA, there were several state highways that were subsumed by Interstates.
In that vein, the West Side portion of I-5 pretty much supplanted Route 33 as the west San Joaquin Valley's main through highway.
Though the Santa Ana Freeway segment of I-5 most famously directly replaced US 101, it also supplanted former portions of Route 26 and Route 10 (both of which had been replaced by Bypass US 101 in the 1940s).
The portion of I-280 in San Francisco east of US 101 towards the ballpark directly replaced what had been planned as part of Route 82 pre-1968 and part of the stillborn San Jose-San Francisco Route 87 extension.
Sneakily, one can argue that I-215 replaced Route 194 (a paper designation for the 1974-1982 I-15E).
I-8 west of I-5 directly supplanted 1964-1972 Route 109, and I-15 south of Route 163/former US 395 in Miramar replaced 1964-1969 Route 103.
I-580 across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge between US 101 and I-80 is a direct replacement for what had been the northern segment of Route 17.

In Michigan alone:
US-12 (original routing)
US-16
US-25
US-27
Adding:
Much of US-10
Much of M-21 (at both ends, although the western end became M-121 at a much later date)
M-76
On the other hand, US 50 between Salina and Green River in Utah is the single largest deceiver. I-70 didn't replace it, there was directly nothing between Fremont Jct and Green River, not even a goat track. US 50 only was moved to its present route after I-70 was built, before that it and US 6 were totally redundant to each other across Utah.
For the Pacific Northwest:
I-5 replaced US 99 and US 99W/E through Washington and Oregon, with few changes. Many former sections in WA are now local streets, but a handful still remain as part of the state highway system (SR 99 and SR 529, among others). Oregon kept most of US 99W/E as OR 99W/E.
I-90 replaced US 10, and only a short section remains as SR 10.
I-82 replaced US 97 and US 410. The old route of US 97 is now SR 821 through the Yakima Canyon, while the old route of US 410 (later US 12) is a few local highways. A totally new alignment was built between the Tri-Cities and Oregon that replaced the original routing for US 395 (concurrent with US 12 and US 730).
I-84 replaced, but remains co-signed with, US 30 through Oregon and most of Idaho. US 30 used to split in southeastern Idaho into US 30N (replaced by I-86) and US 30S (replaced by I-84).
I-15 follows US 91, which is pretty straightforward.
Isn't this very common? At least here in NJ, almost every US route is paralleled and occasionally concurrent with an Interstate.
I-78 with US 22 between Harrisburg, PA and Newark
I-80 with US 46
I-95 with US 1
I-295 with US 130 between Pennsville and Bordentown
In addition, though they are not Interstates, the Garden State Parkway parallels US 9 between Cape May and Hillside. The Atlantic City Expressway parallels US 30 and US 322.

It might be true in a small state NJ (don't forget I-287 and US 202), but there are a handful of interstates that are just built without any obvious parallels to preexisting routes, such as I-80 in PA (though it does come close to US 62 and US 322 at times).
US 66 in Oklahoma was (mostly) bypassed by I-44 and I-40.
LA 1 was generally bypassed by I-49

Except between Virginia, ID and Brigham City, where it replaced US 191 instead.
Seeing where US 191 runs now, it doesn't appear so. But in fact US 191 ran on a different course from West Yellowstone South (US 20 to Idaho Falls -which was its original route in 1926-, then down what is now I-15 to Brigham City), having only adopted its present route after I-15 was built.

That can be argumentive, as it may not closely parallel a US route its entirety it did replace US 6 west of Scranton. My dad says that in the pre interstate days US 6 was the way to Cleveland and Chicago. He said that from NYC one would take US 46 to Portland, PA (or later Columbia, NJ) and use US 611 to Scranton to pick up US 6 to go points west. US 611 between the Delaware Water Gap area and Scranton was not only for locals in Eastern PA once upon a time.
Ditto for US 301 south of Richmond, VA. Though south of Santee, SC where US 301 and I-95 split for several miles as US 15 takes over to Walterboro for US 17 and its children to take over to Jacksonville, the route from there to Jacksonville area (considering Callahan is in that metro) was still very well replaced by it. There are plenty of old abandoned road side stands still seen along US 301 between Orangeburg, SC and the GA Border (Savannah River) that were put out of business by the interstate.
