Interstates Barely Part of a State's System

EXCLUDING 3-digit interstates, what are some examples of interstates that have very low mileage in a particular state?  For this thread, I'll define low mileage as being under 30 miles.

A few that come to mind

I-15 in Arizona (29 miles)
I-70 in West Virginia (14 miles)
I-82 in Oregon (11 miles)
I-72 in Missouri (2 miles)

I know there are more, but these come to mind right away.

Am I the only one who finds this idea for renaming US41 (but only a select portion of it) I-41 preposterous? Are they planning to do the same thing with US31 in Indiana?

Ah! Another I just thought of.

I-76 has about 2 1/2 miles in Nebraska.

Another dimension you could add is "Interstates which barely serve residents of states they run through" , and the two I-86 segments in Pennsylvania score on both counts.

I-66 in DC (not a state, but for this purpose it's close enough)

Yeah, it's a bit unnecessary, IMO.  Kind of similar to I-39 being routed north, when US-51 was doing the job just fine.

Once/if I-49 gets built in Texas, it'll be about 5 miles.

one could qualify I-95 in NY if it didn't serve enough cities ;)

How about US41(I) instead?

Assuming that a letter suffix is not a "digit", I-69W (1.4 miles).

Huh? I-24 runs about 37 in IL and 94 miles in KY. The OP restricted the list to 30 miles in a state. I-70 in WV was already mentioned.
