Interesting little fact about US 322 Beginning/Ends

[jeffandnicole]

I took a ride out from New Jersey this weekend for the Browns-Eagles game in Cleveland.  I kinda knew in the past that US 322 began in NJ in Atlantic City, and ends in Cleveland.  Unfortunately, neither end has a Begin or End 322 nameplate, so I couldn't get a picture of that.

But...what is interesting is that both ends of this 494 mile long US highway have a casino!  In Atlantic City, within a block or so of the eastern end is the Atlantic Club Casino (formerly the Hilton Casino, and before that, the Golden Nugget, Bally's Grand and The Grand).  In Cleveland, the Horseshoe Casino recently opened just a block or so from the western end of US 322! 

So...that gets me thinking: What other long-distance, multi-state highway have a similiar feature at both ends of the highway...besides an ocean or country border, that is.

I-80 has a major suspension bridge at both ends (GW and Oakland Bay).

this could have been an interesting discussion in the Northeast Room but yet again, Steve moved it for no reason. For all the meaningless tangents Steve starts in other threads that are allowed to linger, this one confused me.

In any event, I-80 ends just short of the GWB and is facilitated by the bridge in NYC.

To answer the original question, if Maryland has its way a casino will be at one end of MD 295 in downtown Baltimore and will put another at the other end of MD 295 inNational Harbor.  Its multi-state in my head because MD 295 changes jurisdictions multiple times between the State of Maryland, the National Park Service, the Distirct and back to the State of Maryland.

There's your answer.  The OP introduced an open question which pertains to the nation as a whole.

If you consider just the state route part, there are stadiums near both ends. Nationals Park and RFK in DC and Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The DC stadiums aren't right on it, though.

What about US 222 having a state route designation continuing from it at both ends.  MD 222 south of US 1 and PA 222 north of I-78 and PA 309.

So apparently Randy Hersh didn't die?

"yet again?"

who the Hell is this Don'tKnowYet sucker with 22 posts commenting on the entire history of the AARoads forum?

hooray for sock puppets!

in any case, the original pre-1964 transcontinental routing of US-6 starts on one end by heading east, and on the other end by heading west.

this would not be remarkable, except it starts eastbound in Provincetown, and starts westbound in Long Beach!

Sort of like US 62 starting eastbound in Niagara Falls, though it would have to have extended to the border multiplexed with 65 to end westbound in El Paso.

What about US 92 not having both ends terminate at other US routes?  Its west end is in Downtown St. Petersburg  at FL State routes and its eastbound extends beyond US 1 to end at FL A1A.

US 69 ends at Minnesota state route 13 and Texas state route 87.

How about US 181 having its two terminuses at I-37?  I think that is probably the only case of a US route beginning and ending at the same exact highway since US 113 was truncated to Milford, DE.

Nope. US 460 ends at US 60 in both Frankfort, Ky. and Norfolk, Va.

Does US 264 still end at US 64 at both ends (albeit 64 along the Beltline with 440)?

[Takumi]

^ Yes. (I was about to post that myself.) Its east end is now at US 64 in Manns Harbor instead of the useless overlap from there to Whalebone Junction.

[xonhulu]

You guys are fast, I was also about to post US 264.  Isn't it still concurrent with US 64 on its western endpoint?

[Roadsguy]

PA 152 ends at PA 309 at both ends. One near the Philly city line, the other in Sellersville.

[roadman65]

I think it still may be.  Nonetheless, I stand corrected as I forgot about that one meeting its parent at both ends.  At one time both ends had the same scenario being concurrent with its parent.

US 30 ends near, but not quite at the ocean on both ends.

[agentsteel53]

do any routes end at the ocean?  say, in the form of a boat launch?  I remember US-74 and US-76 come pretty close on their east ends.

[Takumi]

US 60's east end is at Rudee Inlet near the oceanfront in Virginia Beach, but it's going north-south there (on Atlantic, despite what signs say). It's been nearly 10 years since I've been down to Rudee Inlet itself, so I don't remember if there's a dock or anything.

US 76 comes closer of the two. Its end is the parking lot for a public beach access.

US 9, twice

Most seem to be at a major intersection near the ocean, with the road continuing at least a block. US 421 sort of qualifies - it ends at a public boat launch on the west edge of a narrow barrier island (not at the nearby ferry terminal). You probably won't find many boat launches on the ocean side, at least where barrier islands exist (which is probably most of the coast).

ME 24 looks pretty good for this category.

ME 24 looks pretty good for this category.

I was also thinking the same thing. ME 123 also comes close, but not as close as 24.
