Mirror highway junctions

I don't know if someone has done a thread on this but i think it would be a neat topic. What i am talking about is when 2 separate route numbers have a junction. For example, in Oak Brook IL, IL 83 and IL 38 have a junction but they have to be the same type of route such as Interstate, US or State so junctions like IL 54 and US 45 in Onarga IL would not count. Technically a mirror of Rt 1 would be Rt 10 if you were to add a zero in front to make it a 2di.  3dis can count if the outside numbers are flipped. I was wondering if we could get a list going on such occasions to see how common or uncommon this happens. I'll start off with some i am aware of.

IL 38 @ IL 83 - Oak Brook IL
WI 23 @ WI 32 - north of Sheboygan Falls WI
WI 46 @ WI 64 - northwest of Cylon WI

I call them "dyslexic's nightmares."

WV 16 and WV 61 have concurrencies. WV 74 and WV 47 intersect.

Kentucky has none that I can come up with among its two-digit routes.

I-85 and US 58
VA 61 and VA 16 (61's west end)
VA 91 and US 19 Business (in the same area as 16/61, also 91's north end)
VA 122 and US 221
VA 33 and US 33 :p

You missed the one condition i put in the rules for the list. The route numbers have to be the same type such as Interstate with Interstate and so on. Nice try though.

I believe the only interstate that fits would be I-69 and I-96 in Lansing, MI.

If we count hidden State Road numbers, in Florida, SR 5 and SR 50 meet in Titusville. US Route 1 is hidden SR 5. SR 500 does the same thing with SR 5 in Melbourne.

SR 90 may also work in Miami, as it intersects SR 9A (I-95) but the A in 9A may disqualify this one.

And SR 91 (the hidden number for Florida's Turnpike) has an interchange with SR 19 near US 27.

NY 36 and NY 63 in York, and again in Dansville
NY 31 and NY 13 in Lenox

empirestate

Well, off hand:

NY 3 meets NY 30 in Tupper Lake
NY 5 & 50 in Scotia
NY 8 & 80 in New Berlin
NY 13 & 31 by Verona Beach
NY 23 & 32 in Cairo

I'd probably find a lot more in the state if I scoured thoroughly...

California:

Route 19 and 91 in Bellflower


in the past, Route 21 ended at Route 12 in Fairfield, but this has not been the case since 1976

Route 8 and Route 88 used to both terminate in Stockton but 8 was renumbered to 26 in 1964 to make way for I-8

Route 11 and Route 1 intersected from 1934-1984 (when the former became I-110)

US 6 and US 66 had a concurrency in downtown Los Angeles in the 1950s

to cover the rest of the two-digit US routes...

old US-16 intersects US-61 just about where I-90 crosses the Mississippi into Minnesota.

old US-25 and US-52 intersect in Cincinnati.

US-27 and US-72 intersect in Chattanooga.  In fact, US-72 may end at US-27.

old US-38 and US-83 intersected in McCook, Nebraska.

US-45 intersected old US-54 somewhere in Illinois, but I am not sure what route 54 took to get to Chicago from its current terminus.

There was a long overlap from the end of IL 54.

Louisiana:

LA 1 and LA 10 concurrency from Morganza to New Roads
LA 2 and ALT LA 2?  This may be a stretch

I don't care what the rules are. I'm going to submit SR A1A and CR A1A as the only interesting answer.

Did US 6 and 60 ever meet?

that's a really good question.  I do not know if 60 was ever extended to the Four-Level, which 6 passed through.  60 may have always ended (along with 70) at the San Bernardino Split, which is part of the East LA right now.

would be nice to see signage from the Four-Level showing 6 and 60, but I have never seen such a thing.

Didn't we see signage for 70 at the Four-Level - but NEVER 60?  I always thought that was interesting: one concurrency ending at US 101, the other at 6 & 66.

I have not seen 60 or 70 signage at the Four-Level; it is the San Bernardino Split that is depicted here.  this is a 1963 photo, after 60 had been truncated back to Holt and Mission.

I recall posting this photo of the Four-Level (from Eric Fischer's archive) a while back:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/5006703733/in/photostream/

It doesn't clarify if US 70 started at the Four-Level, but that spot on US 101 (at the start of the Santa Ana Freeway) is probably the westernmost sign for it that ever existed.

(One could argue that the usage of US 70 signage this far past the San Bernardino Split is similar to today's Caltrans usage of US 101 signage on I-80 west between the foot of the Bay Bridge and I-80's terminus at the Central Freeway in San Francisco.)
