Title: Sequential Interstates/US Highways in one state
Post by: OCGuy81 on June 13, 2022, 12:26:55 PM
What state(s) have the highest number of sequential interstate and/or US routes??

With interstates, I think Ohio wins with 4 in sequence. 74, 75, 76, and 77 are all in the state.

Pennsylvania ties that as to Interstates with 78, 79, 80, and 81.

Now how about 3 digit US highways?  I have found a number of states with two - Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma.  Are there any with more?

New Hampshire had US 1, US 2, US 3, and US 4 (and US 5 less than a mile away for a good stretch).

West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania all have both US-219 and US-220 (they are roughly parallel and don't intersect).  Both Virginia and North Carolina have US-220 and US-221 (they are multiplexed in Roanoke).

Maine with US 201 and (FWIW) US 202

Sikeston, MO has three sequential routes at a single interchange, the routes being US 60, 61, and 62 here (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.8550148,-89.5825768,3a,15.6y,23.37h,91.34t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1shpLIbrEZ5ivwoioQW3M42g!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DhpLIbrEZ5ivwoioQW3M42g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D166.39267%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e4).

NY has I-86, I-87, and I-88. If you cheat and include Vermont, you can get I-89, back to NY for I-90, and I-91.

And to get even more fictional for a minute, NY also has I-84, so if I-81 was renumbered I-85 (as I believe it should be) and if any segment of the rooftop highway (I-92) was ever built, you could round it out with I-93 in Vermont to get a full ten numbers.  :)

The only one that I can think of that works in Indiana: US 31, 33, and 35.

Illinois has I-70, 72, and 74 as well as US 50, 51, and 52.

For 3di in a state, plenty of 2 in a row examples: 264/265 in KY, 270/271, 470/471 in OH, 290/291 in MA.

Any examples of more than 2 consecutive 3di in a state?

I've looked through the list of Interstate highways, and unless I missed something, no there aren't.

One close case is Ohio, which contains I-275 and I-277; however, I-276 is in the neighboring state of Pennsylvania.

True, that's an even number sequence.

But for this thread, they'd need to also have US 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17😂

If only I-39 had been christened "I-53"  then IL could have US 50, 51, 52, fictional I-53/actual I-39, US 54, I-55

Would also have given the gift of fictional I-53/actual I-39, I-55, I-57

Another one Illinois actually has: I-39, US 40, US 41

Ohio might, maybe, someday, somewhere over the rainbow, push that sequence to 5, by getting I-73

Pennsylvania ties that as to Interstates with 78, 79, 80, and 81.

During the initial numbering of I-380 in the Poconos, it was briefly proposed as an eastern I-82 back in 1957. Had the designation stuck, Pennsylvania would've had I-78 through I-84.

In Massachusetts, you have US 5, US 6, and US 7.

West Virginia used to have US-21 and US-22.  But I can't believe that nobody has yet mentioned that Ohio used to have US-20, US-21, US-22, US-23, US-24 and US-25.

Then there is US 59 and 63 in the state.
