Title: Longest highways without a single concurrency
Post by: Bruce on December 03, 2021, 06:41:17 AM
Curious to know what highways (either within a single state or spanning multiple) qualify.

For Washington, the winner is US 101, which clocks in at 366 miles and does not share an inch of asphalt with another route (though with one-way streets it technically might).

For a Michigan state highway it's M-57.
For US highways it's US-24.
For Interstate highways it's I-696.

For Indiana:

Overall it's I-64 at 123 miles
For US highways, all of them except for the 0.64 miles of US 131 have concurrencies.
For state highways, the longest I can find is the northern segment of IN 63 at 63 miles.

Massachusetts I believe would be I-90. MA 28 and US 20 are the only things longer and they have concurrencies with tons of things.

New Hampshire (and I had to look this up to confirm) is NH 175, just over 25 miles by itself. NH 110 is just behind it a half mile shorter.

In Alaska, AK 2 has no concurrencies (except with unsigned Interstates) for its entire ~445-mile length. Ditto AK 11, for its entire 416-mile length, except with no paper-Interstate concurrencies.

In the Northwest Territories, NT 1 has no concurrencies for its entire ~430-mile length (including two ferry crossings).

Nice! I really thought there might be one that broke 50 miles but like I said, Louisiana has lots of concurrencies. Even if it's just from a lot of zig-zag intersections where the other route crosses for a few blocks.

LA 23 might count at 74 miles. Depends on if you call it a concurrency with Bus US 90. It stays on the frontage roads.

For Oregon, it'll OR 127 by technicality - the ORH system overlaps every route, US highway, or Interstate save for a few routes without corresponding highways, like 132.
Without considering ORH, interstates still fail:
5 - 99, 138, 99E, 30
82 - 395
84 - 30, 395
105 - 126
205 - 213
405 - 26, 30

US:
20 - 34, 99W, 99E, 126, 97B, 395, 26, 201
26 - 47, 405, 97, 395, 20, 201
30 - 405, 5, 84, 35, 197, 37, 7
97 - 26
101 - passes
197 - 30, 216
395 - 82, 730, 84, 30, 26, 20, 140

OR:
31 stands out as the likely winner

In West Virginia, the longest overlap-free route is WV 26 at 41.3 miles. Concurrency-free routings are fairly rate because of the terrain (hard to arrange things on grids like in states further west) and because of WV's propensity for trying to minimize the number of state route numbers at the cost of long distance multiplexes (see WV 28 as an example).

Taking a swing at Maryland (credit to Wikipedia for some assistance):

Interstate: I-270 at 34 miles*
US: US 113 at 38 miles
State: MD 32 at 52 miles**

*If you discount the I-95/495 concurrency (I personally don't, but IIRC the I-495 designation was restored on the eastern half of the beltway for motorist convenience and may not have ever been officially restored per FHWA), then I-95 would take the title at 109 miles.  Additional sidenote: if you limit to 2di's and count the I-95/495 overlap, then I-97 would take the title in a somewhat ironic twist :-D

**I originally thought it would be MD 213 at 68 miles, but Wikipedia indicates a one-way/one-block unsigned overlap between MD 213 NB & MD 304 WB in downtown Centreville in Queen Anne's County.

North Carolina:  probably NC-12 along the Outer Banks.  It's 148 miles, including both of the ferry routes.  In addition to not having any concurrencies, it only connects with US-70 in Sea Level.  The junction with NC-45 is virtual (since NC-12 sits alongside the ferry dock for NC-45 at Ocracoke).  Then at the two interconnections on the Outer Banks (first with the terminii of US-64 and US-158 at Whalebone Junction, and the other one with US-158 at Duck) neither one actually intersects with NC-12.

For Utah:

Interstates - all 2dis overlap at least one other interstate or US route somewhere in the state, leaving I-215 as winner by default
15: 50, 6, 89, 80, 84, (30)
70: 89, 50, 191, 6
80: 15, 189
84: (30), 15
215: none - 28.9 miles

US Highways - all but two definitely have a concurrency, and another one maybe does depending on whose documentation you look at. If you trust AASHTO and signs, the winner is US 163 at 41.4 miles in the state. If you trust UDOT, it's US 491 at 17 miles.
6: 50, 15, 89, 191, 70, 50
40: 189, 191
50: 6, 15, 89, 70, 191, 6
89: 70, 50, 6, 15, 91
91: 89
163: (191) - 41.4 miles
189: 40, 80
191: (163), 70, 50, 6, 40
491: none - 17.0 miles

US 163 ends at US 191 southwest of Bluff according to both AASHTO (since 2008) and signage on the ground (since 2004), but UDOT documentation maintains a concurrency with 191 all the way up to I-70 at Crescent Jct.

State Routes - SR concurrencies are quite rare in this state. SR 30 is the longest route in the state, but only when you include a couple of unsigned concurrencies with interstates and US highways (in Utah, state routes do not increase mileage along concurrencies where they are not the primary route). So that means Utah's winner is SR 24 at 160.3 miles.

Interstates - I-194 in Bismarck is 1.1 miles.

Illinois highways have concurrencies so frequently that I think the answer for Illinois state routes is IL-125, at only 37 miles. IL-25 isn't far behind at 35 miles. The concurrency-free highway with the most mileage in Illinois looks like Interstate 24, oddly, at 39 miles. Every other 2di in Illinois has a concurrency somewhere in the state. Every US highway in Illinois has a concurrency somewhere in the state.

I wouldn't count unsigned state highway counterparts as concurrencies, honestly.

For Québec highways, QC-167 is probably the winner, though QC-389 might also be up there.

Correct. As mentioned above.

Even US 131 is (or at least used to be) also considered SR 13, although it is not signed that way.

Massachusetts I believe would be I-90. MA 28 and US 20 are the only things longer and they have concurrencies with tons of things.

New Hampshire (and I had to look this up to confirm) is NH 175, just over 25 miles by itself. NH 110 is just behind it a half mile shorter.
For Mass., i-90 East has an unsigned concurrency with MA 1A from I-93 to its end in East Boston, but the first 133 miles are concurrency free. Then there's about 52 miles of I-95, excluding the 128 concurrency.

I thought MA 1A went through the Callahan/Sumner tunnels and would stay on 93/1/3 as a silent concurrency with its parent up to the junction. Otherwise, 495 would be the longest in MA.

If the OP meant single routes end to end no matter what states, GA is definitely out, unless you count the small SPUR designations or small three digit rural highways.

I-794 is the only Interstate in WI that qualifies (3.5 miles).
All of the US routes have a concurrency at one point.
The longest state route without a concurrency could very well be WI-153 (61 miles).

In VA, the longest "solo"  interstate is 295, 52.75 around the east and north sides of Richmond.
Longest US route here is a pickle–but it looks like (as fair as mainline route go) it's 219, with a whopping 1.3 miles.
Finally, for state routes, VA 28 takes the cake, at 49 miles, from a rural 2 laner from Remington, up to Manassas and then a massive 6/8 lane freeway through suburban/exurban areas in Fairfax and Loudon counties, passing Dulles airport. It's an interesting drive for sure to get the radical change in the route as you drive it.

For New Jersey...

I believe the GSP wins in NJ, at 88 miles (around MP 84 to MP 172 at the NY State border).

If you wanna get technical with the wording "longest highway", the NJ Turnpike, as a highway, doesn't have a concurrency for 117 or so continuous miles, with its sole concurrency being from MP 0 to MP 0.9 with US 40.  The remainder of the highway has two different route numbers, but they never overlap.

GA 141 in particular comes to mind as a decent length example, with no concurrencies of any kind in its 34.1 miles.

It would take a long time to go through all of the state highways and check for overlaps, but there are a whole bunch of entirely independent routes even in more urban areas (though yes they are mostly short). Off the top of my head, in addition to 141 we also have 84, 237, 264, 279, 314, 317, 331, 347, and 378 in the Atlanta area with no overlaps of any kind along them.

Pennsylvania:

Interstate (and overall): I-476, 132.10 miles. Longest primary Interstate without an overlap is I-90 at 46.4 miles.
US Route: US 206, 0.46 miles. This is also the second shortest of any state, US, or Interstate route in PA, and the shortest one signed (PA 299 is the shortest, but unsigned).
State: PA 187, 43.13 miles

WI-153 has a "hidden" concurency with Marathon County J east of Mosinee.  Wisconsin has a lot of those with county highways.  Are those actually concurrencies if they aren't signed?

Didn't even think about concurrencies with county highways.

There's an odd one on CTH-CV in Windsor. It runs eastward along WI-19 for a mile to US-51, then it turns south onto US-51 for 1.5 miles.

It was so difficult for me to think what PA route may be.  I used to think that PA was the haven of short concurrencies until I started clinching a lot more roads in OH this year.

i believe the intent is full highways without a concurrency (as opposed to longest highway segments without).

based on that criteria, based on a quick scan of Wikipedia:

ACX - 44.19 mi
NJ 55 - 40.54 mi
I-195 - 34.17 mi
US 9W - 11.17 mi

Massachusetts I believe would be I-90. MA 28 and US 20 are the only things longer and they have concurrencies with tons of things.

New Hampshire (and I had to look this up to confirm) is NH 175, just over 25 miles by itself. NH 110 is just behind it a half mile shorter.
For Mass., i-90 East has an unsigned concurrency with MA 1A from I-93 to its end in East Boston, but the first 133 miles are concurrency free. Then there's about 52 miles of I-95, excluding the 128 concurrency.

You and I thought that because it does.

I thought there was something about 1A being rerouted to I-90 because the I-93 tunnel lacks some movements to/from the Sumner/Callahan tunnels that the old Central Artery had.


Executive Office of Transportation - Office of Transportation Planning Roads - June 2008: The older tunnels to and from East Boston have interchanges with I-93 and surface roads north of the point at which unsigned Route 1A "exits" Route 1 in downtown Boston. Unsigned Route 1A along the Fitzgerald Expressway does not directly connect to those tunnels; a direct connection requires using I-90 and the newer Ted Williams Tunnel, which is not concurrent with Route 1A at any point.
