I was trying to compile a list of any Interstate that ends, but continues as a state highway with the same number.

For example, California has several of these.

I-110 in California continues as CA-110

I-15 in California continues as CA-15

I-210 in California continues as CA-210

A few other instances I can think of, though I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

I-759 in Alabama continues as AL-759

I-794 in Wisconsin continues as WI-794

Many of the 3dis in New York qualify. Examples include NY 390, NY 590, and NY 787.

I-238 - CA 238  ;-)

I-255 in Illinois continues as IL 255.

I-540 in North Carolina continues as NC 540; I-885 continues as NC 885; I-140 continues as NC 140.

A stretch would be to find more examples of this with 2DI's; OCGuy already posted the only one I can think of right now.

I-710 was supposed to continue as CA-710 in Pasadena and South Pasadena if it was approved to link the 710 gap.

I-380 was supposed to continue as CA-380 west of San Bruno to Pacifica.

CA 710 does exist in two places.  North of I-10 and south of Shoreline Drive isn't classified as Interstate by the FHWA.

I think technically I-194 in Mandan, ND, continues as ND 810 into Bismarck, but both highways are unsigned.

Edit: I cannot read

Well NY 481 soon won't be connected to an interstate  :awesomeface:

I-381 continues as VA 381
I-195 continues as VA 195
I-295 continues as DC 295

^^ The last one is not a state. :popcorn:

I-265 in Indiana USED to continue east of I-65 as IN 265, which is resigned as I-265 in 2023.

Not quite the same, but I-215 continues as Clark County Road 215 in NV.

Near Harrisburg, PA, I-283 makes a left turn and becomes State Route 283.

I-95 continues across the northern border as New Brusnwick 95

CA-480 was supposed to be with I-480 when the Embarcadero Freeway existed and it was supposed to connect to Presidio Parkway then known as Doyle Drive.

Quote from: roadman65 on March 31, 2025, 06:42:51 PMWell NY 481 soon won't be connected to an interstate  :awesomeface:

It will still be connected to an interstate (I-81), just not its namesake interstate.

Not sure if this would count, but Interstate 41 continues as US-41 in both directions.

In a similar vein to I-41 and US41, I-74 continues as US74 at its easternmost western end, and at its easternmost and second easternmost eastern ends.

Continuing the same number concurrency theme with something a bit less tenuous (and a bit more permanent):

I-A1 continues as AK1 at its western end.
I-A2 continues as AK2 at both ends.

but is still signed as IN 265.

I-PR2 continues as PR2.

I-29 used to continue as the very short MB 29 until MB 75 was switched to that border crossing, making it discontinuous from US 75.

I-695 used to become MD 695, but now it does internally.

Technically the part over the former Key Bridge is not an interstate despite being signed as one.  It's unsigned MD 695 a long with part of I-695 leading to it that's not interstate.

I-471 does not exist south of I-275. That highway is unsigned KY 471.

I-4 in Florida is technically State Route FL-400

I-80 from the West end of the Bay Bridge of San Francisco to the interchange with US-101 Bayshore Freeway is technically hidden California State Route 80.

QuoteHowever, federal records place the western terminus of I-80 at the western approach to the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, at the location of the Fremont Street offramp (previously known as the Terminal Separator Structure that once connected it to the Embarcadero Freeway. The federal and state governments disagree as to whether this westernmost segment of the signed Interstate, known as the San Francisco Skyway or Bayshore Viaduct, is actually part of the although it is consistently shown as I-80 on most maps of San Francisco.

AR 440 used to count, but it is in the process of becoming I-440. The 2025 ArDOT map shows it as I-440.

(https://i.imgur.com/YzbNSeB.png)

I-530 in AR doesn't, because AR530 (which is future I-530) leaves an exit/2 miles before the terminius.

I-35 ends in Duluth, MN, and becomes MN 61.

Of course, it used to be US 61.

But it does not continue as 'MN 35' (same number).  That is just like how I-39 does not continue as 'WI 39', WI 39 is in a completely different part of Wisconsin.

I-140 > NC 140

I wouldn't think that this really counts, but long ago WI 57 was planned to be a northward extension of I-57 in Illinois (what was then proposed as 'I-57' in WI subsequently  morphed into what is now I-43).  I-57 would have ended in Green Bay and WI 57 would have continued on to Door County, WI, as it does now. Thus, when one thinks things through, WI 57 could be considered to be a direct northward continuation from I-57 in IL.

I'm too busy now to do a check, but I kind of figured it might but put it to a question anyway. :spin:

Then you have the temporary situation of I-295 and NC 295 near Fayetteville.  Until the Fayetteville Outer Beltway is completed NC 295 will exist.

Specious and untrue example, but if one were to imagine I-82 continuing east on I-84 on a hidden overlap, them it'd qualify with OR 82 :bigass:

I-495 continues as MA-25 from Wareham to the Bourne Bridge.

But they don't actually continue onto each other, as the gap in the Outer Beltway is in the middle.

It's like saying the same with I-/NC74. It's just not quite what the question was.

It was more the disputed nature of two of those three (is AR440 gone yet? IN265? - both are still on TM) that I was going for with "former/soon-to-be-former" phrase - ie that they are former is perhaps not the case.

Whereas no one thinks that I-481 has been removed already. It's a "soon to be former" case, but not a "former/soon-to-be-former" one.

It all depends on who made the OP too.  Some posters are very sensitive to the others not following the intentions of that person and  some posters who don't care if the thread is derailed after they post it figuring it's a waste to inform the others users that they're not reading correctly or some don't care period if people read their posts the way intended.

If FL 10 were posted a bit more consistently up I-95 until the I-10 interchange, it could count as a signed continuation.

I was commenting to the one who stated that the OP should be more direct in posting that he means the continuation of the same route number.

Edit: My bad. I assumed that post 44 was made by the OP as he quoted many users who didn't follow the OP.

I assumed by nature that it was him that made that long quoted post.   It's so odd that a third party would have the passion of the first.

Nope.  NY 28 ends at NY 32 just as I-587 does.  Although it does bring up an interesting point.  IMO routes that overlap are really stretching the definition here.  In my mind, this is about the state route designation acting as a continuation of the interstate... which isn't really the case with overlaps, where one route ends and the other doesn't.

Of course, people could also read the OP (and ideally the rest of the thread, we're only on page 2 after all) before replying, especially since some things are hard to boil down into something short enough to make into a fully clarifying thread title.

I-95 continuing as NB 95?

Not sure what part of my post you're replying to, but roadman65 was referring to I-295 in North Carolina.

NY 481 should probably be considered "soon to be former".

QuoteBut they don't actually continue onto each other, as the gap in the Outer Beltway is in the middle.

It's like saying the same with I-/NC74. It's just not quite what the question was. 

Isn't the gap at the south end?   Between Parkton and I-95 at the Robeson County Line just south of I-95 Business?

I remember a friend of mine clinched that and he said he had to use back roads between I-95 and Parkton to be able to clinch that route in its entirety.

Granted, NB isn't a state in the USA, either.

Not yet, anyway.  (Runs and hides)

Quote from: bulldog1979 on June 04, 2015, 02:26:39 AMThere exists a parallel system of two-letter state abbreviations for use by the US Coast Guard for vessel registrations. This system closely tracks what the USPS has, but there are 12 exceptions:

California is CF
Colorado is CL
Delaware is DL
Hawaii is HA
Kansas is KA
Massachusetts is MS
Michigan is MC
Mississippi is MI
Nebraska is NB*
Washington is WN
Wisconsin is WS
the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands is CM*, not MP.

*NB and CM used to be the USPS abbreviations as well.

These letter codes are most commonly found as the beginning of the registration numbers that are applied to both sides of the bow of a boat along with a state registration sticker. These decals function much like a license plate in a maritime setting.

I've never been one to get pedantic over the state/province thing.  Provincial examples are in the same spirt as state examples in practically every thread that mentions "states".  And I-95/NB 95 is certainly a unique example.

I feel the same way about US territories. I've been including Guam, DC, and Puerto Rico (the ones I've been to) in the same "level" as other US states in various threads.

And lets not forget about the Commonwealths of Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

This does not make them not states in the slightest.

Nope. It continues on a bus or carpool to Baltimore  :popcorn:

Quote from: Molandfreak on April 09, 2025, 01:50:28 PMIf FL 10 were posted a bit more consistently up I-95 until the I-10 interchange, it could count as a signed continuation.

I used to think the same thing when I lived in Jacksonville.  However, FL-10 is the secret route assigned to US-90, except for this quirky little section that is posted as FL-10 separate from US-90.  That being said, the secret part of FL-10 actually crosses the St. Johns River on the Main Street Bridge and heads west on Beaver Street (not touching I-10 until it crosses between Macclenny and Lake City some 45 miles west of Jacksonville).

That's what I meant to address by specifying it as a signed continuation--the general public isn't aware of the secret parts on US 90/US 90 Alt. west of Jacksonville.

when M-5 in Michigan was being proposed, the route (north of I-696) was for a time designated as M-275 (which was north of the terminus of I-275 at the Junction of I-96 and I-696).
