Roads that serve more than one community with the same name

I was noticing that I-64 has a neat situation where it serves not only Lexington, KY, but also Lexington, VA.

Other that this are there any other highways that serve two cities with the same name whether Interstate, US, State, or named roads?
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

They're not cities, but I-495 (the Capital Beltway) has exits less than three miles apart for Great Falls in Virginia and Great Falls in Maryland. For years the signs merely said "Great Falls"; in more recent years, Virginia's signs were amended to read "Great Falls VA."

There's also the bridge connecting Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

I-95: Newark, Delaware, and Newark, New Jersey, although they're not necessarily the "same name" because they're pronounced differently. Lots of people are ignorant of the correct pronunciation of the one in Delaware.

US 50 goes through both Washington, Indiana and Washington, DC

I-90 arguably servers both Rochester, MN and Rochester, NY.

All of the Niagara Falls crossings too.

They aren't on the same I-95 either (at least for now).

another US-50 quirk: other than Grand Junction, there ain't much between Delta, UT and Delta, CO - about 350 miles apart.

US-54 skirts Mexico, MO (and the business loop enters the town) - and used to end at Mexico, the country (and now it ends about a mile away).  I'd say it serves both.

I-81 and US 11: serving both Pulaski, NY and Pulaski, VA.

Auburn, MA and Auburn, NY are (for all intents and purposes) connected by I-90.   Furthermore, you'd continue on I-90 for another 2,500 miles to get to Auburn, WA - which is about 25 miles south of I-90, but still technically served by it.

I-95: Westbook, CT and Westbrook, ME.

I-91: Springfield, MA and Springfield, VT.

I-10: Beaumont, CA and Beaumont, TX.

State Line Street (AKA State Line Road) is shared by Union City, Indiana, and Union City, Ohio.

The towns used to be an hour apart on the clock six months each year, at least officially, until Mitch Daniels got Indiana on DST a few years back.

This might not quite qualify, but since the BGSs have the control cities, I will mention it.  At either end of the I-70/I-76 overlap on the Pa Turnpike, I-70 West in New Stanton shows Washington (PA), while I-70 East in Breezewood shows Washington (DC).  The technicality is that I-70 does not serve Washington, DC, east of Frederick, not since I-70S was renamed I-270.

I think DC should've got the main I-70, with Baltimore getting a 3 di. But I'm sure Baltimore would've been outraged if that happened.

How about three towns on one interstate: I-65 has Franklin, IN, Franklin, KY, and Franklin, TN. And Franklin, AL looks like it's only about 30 miles away from I-65.

Kansas City.

It's probably easier to mention the highways that don't go through both KCK and KCMO than the ones that do...

In KCMO, but not KCK: I-29, I-49, US 71 (stay in Missouri) US 50, US 56 (enters KCMO from Johnson County)

In KCK, but not KCMO: US 73 (and barely in KCK at that... begins at I-70 in Bonner Springs, briefly enters the KCK limits before entering Leavenworth County.)
Peace to you, and... don't drive like my brother.

The old Yellowstone Trail went through both Appleton, WI and Appleton, MN.

I-10 serves both Beaumont, TX and Beaumont, CA.

I-5 serves both Vancouver, WA and, if you keep going on BC-99, Vancouver, BC.

Not quite the same, but US-101 passes through Los Angeles, CA and Port Angeles, WA.
