Three or more of the same type of route on one road. List go.

Interstate:
- 39/90/94; Madison, WI to Portage, WI
- 55/64/70; St. Louis, MO/East St. Louis, IL
- I think those are the only two?

US:
- 1/9/46; Fort Lee, NJ
- 6/7/202; Danbury, CT

One of the triple multiplexes you named (US 1, US 9, and US 46 in Fort Lee, NJ) contributes to a quadruple multiplex to the middle of the George Washington Bridge with I-95.

In fact, once the bridge crosses into New York, US 46 terminates and it becomes a triple multiplex again: US 1, US 9, and I-95.

Triple multiplexes are everywhere - I see nothing unique about this topic, unless you focus on the US Interstates - where there are only two, the Poplar Street Bridge in St. Louis, and the Wisconsin one.

Anything else is just normal situation.

NOTE: I'm not sure if multiplexes exist outside the US or Canada, help if you can  :poke:

Missouri:
* US 50-61-67 around St. Louis from MO 267 to I-44

* I-64/US 40/US 61 from US 67 to Rte K in St. Charles County (or Lake St. Louis Blvd if you go by the mile markers)

* Business Loop 44/US 63/MO 72 at Rolla - why MO 72 angles back east instead of following BL 44 to Exit 184 is beyond me, but I believe it will eventually head west to a new interchange west of Exit 184.

* MO 413/MO 248/MO 265 northwest of Branson

* I-29-35/US 71 in Kansas City

Master son brings up some good points, triple multiplexes are not that uncommon. Considering that Georgia signs the state highway counterparts, there are many instances of high-number multiplexes. Here is one that I know of off the top of my head:

(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.southeastroads.com%2Fgeorgia001%2Fus-023_029_nb_us-078_278_ga-008_010_eb_begin.jpg&hash=dc38e09275d9f19c74e6792e33946dd411b21f13)

Another six-way cosigning (which is now five-way since U.S. 421 was relocated):

And another triplex(or dutriplex-between a duplex and a triplex):

It seems many responses overlooked the fact that the original poster was asking about three of the same type of highway sharing pavement, i.e. three U.S. routes or three Interstates and no mixing of systems.  That makes the topic a bit more unique, cause I agree that there are triple multiplexes in many locations.

In that vein, there is one such multiplex in Nevada.  US 6/50/93 are concurrent from the southeast end of Ely about 26 miles to Major's Place in White Pine County.

In Pennsylvania, the only one I'm aware of is US 22/322/522 (http://www.m-plex.com/roads/pamplex/mp_us22_us322_us522.html).

I think the only signed triple multiplex in California now is Business I-80/US 50/Route 99 along the WX Freeway segment of the Capital City Freeway, between Interstate 5 and unsigned Route 51. 

Many years ago though....

- Interstate 15 through Cajon Pass was also signed for US 66, US 91, and US 395.

- Interstate 10 was co-signed with US 70 and 99 from Los Angeles to Indio, and US 60 from Riverside to Indio (and from Pomona west).

- What is now Route 110 between US 101 and Interstate 5 (the Pasadena Freeway) in Los Angeles was once Route 11, US 66, US 6, and US 99.

QuoteIt seems many responses overlooked the fact that the original poster was asking about three of the same type of highway sharing pavement, i.e. three U.S. routes or three Interstates and no mixing of systems.

Three or more of the same type of route, but not necessarily without a different one tacked on.

For instance the US6/7/202 multiplex is also merged with I-84, but it only count as a triple, not a quadruple, since there's only three of the same type in there. That's what I was going for.

It's interesting, I did some poking around google maps before making my initial list. And I found that US highway triplexes were far more common than I had previously thought. Besides the two I already knew off the top of my head (6/7/202 and 1/9/46), I expected to find maybe a few more in Chicago or other major urban centers. The number of instances found in small middle of nowhere towns is pretty surprising.
Title: Re: Triple multiplexes
Post by: SSOWorld on April 20, 2009, 08:00:32 PM
if that's the case, there are still plenty of US route triplexes or greater


Now consider this mixmash:  on the Indy beltway
southside - I-465, I-74, US 40, US 36, US 31, SR 37, SR 67 - But only I-465 and I-74 get respect on this route and I-465 is shown as the "primary" :rolleyes:
eastside (more like southeast portion) - I-465, US 31, US 36, US 40, US 52, US 421, SR 37, SR 67  - but only I-465 gets respect

I think the above photo would be from Waycross, GA.  Believe me, I have seen as bad or worse.

I live in GA and I always thought that displaying the underlying state highway number on US routes is redundant and adds needless clutter to sign asssemblies.  And selfishly speaking, since I prepare signing and marking plans in this state, it adds more clutter to my drawings, hahaha.

GDOT is not even consistent on displying the state number all the time.  They do it most of the time, but do omit it in many cases.  Often on the same route they are inconsistent in where or if they display the underlying state route sheild.

In my opinion, Georgia may be the mirror image of California.  It is one state that may have too many numbered routes and too many displayed route numbers, period.

Well that's two separate 3+ plexes at once...

That is way too much information to be signing on one highway.  The US routes are one thing, but does there really need to be four GA highways on one stretch of road?

Post by: RoadWarrior56 on April 26, 2009, 09:17:54 AM
I vote with Bryant, they ARE inconsistent.  And to make it worse, they are often inconsistent with the cardinal direction.  US 29 is co-signed with SR 8 near where I live.  US 29 is considered a N-S route, and SR 8 and E-W route.  Sometimes SR 8 has a separate E or W cardinal direction, and sometimes it shares the N or S direction with US 29.  And of couse that is when SR 8 is actually signed, which maybe 80% of the time.

There's two crossbreed triplexes in northern Louisiana that come to mind: the one in Jena consisting of US 84, LA 8 and LA 772, and the one in Winnfield consisting of US 84, US 167 and LA 34. As for state-only: LA 10/16/25 in Franklinton would be an easy one.

QuoteFor a very short time, NC had an I-40/I-85/I-73 triplex, before I-40 was put back where it was.

Same right of way, but it was pointed out, and I've driven it now, that Interstate 73 remains on c/d roadways independent of Interstate 85 on the brief stretch between BL-85 and U.S. 220. This also occurs where I-35W and I-94 and I-35E and I-94 come together. The share the same right of way, but both freeways remain on separate carriageways through their brief marriage.

QuoteI-94/I-35W correct.  I-94/I-35E no.  94 and 35E share pavement...there are no separate carriageways in downtown St. Paul.

I thought you were the one that told me that neither actually overlap?  :banghead:

That may have been what I was thinking, because I know that I referenced overlaps that are not technically overlapped back then. Someday I will get some guides created for Minneapolis/St. Paul.
