Title: Largest combined number for two 2-digit US highways intersecting?
Post by: Finrod on January 13, 2020, 01:47:37 PM
It's dead easy to find the smallest combined number for two US highways intersecting: the approximately 3 blocks in Houlton, Maine where US 1 and US 2 have a concurrency, about 2 miles west of where I-95 ends.

But what about the largest such number?  California makes this challenging because many E-W US highways don't make it to the Pacific any more; otherwise you would expect to find this in Los Angeles or San Diego.

Keeping this to two-digit US highways (but counting US 101 as 2 digits), what's the largest combined intersection of two US highways you can find?  I'm having difficulty finding a good one.  Best I've found so far is a concurrency of US 90 and US 87 in San Antonio.

Update: Let's presume that the intersection has to be between an even-numbered road and an odd-numbered road, otherwise US 90 meeting US 98 would likely win the day.

93 and 95 in/near Las Vegas?

87 and 90 in San Antonio?

Before US 80 was decommissioned, it crossed both US 99 and US 101.

US 98 also intersects US 92, and thus that would win. Historically, US 99 and US 101 in Los Angeles and Olympia would take the cake.

Wouldn't US 101 W/E take the cake when they briefly existed in the Bay Area?
