The closest US Highway that I have never been on would definitely have to be US 72.

What's interesting and surprising is that the eastern terminus of US Highway 72 is in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which is not far away from me at all (Dalton, GA) - and interestingly, US 72's eastern end is actually the same location at which lies US 76's western end.

I am fairly certain that, even as close as it is, that I have never been on any part of US 72, and that it would correctly be my answer for the question of this thread.

A reminder of the ongoing discussion that US76 and US72 should have the same number.  Either that or US74 and US72 should have the same number.

Actually, they no longer end at the same intersection.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Closest to me would likely be US 63 south of Hazen to Stuttgart, and south of Pine Bluff.

Wow, I actually did not realize that. I do apologize for my ignorance. When did that change?  :-o

Though, as I said, I have never been on US 72 to begin with as of now, so I have not seen the intersection in person (at least I don't think I have - if I have I don't remember) to have figured this out myself.  :-D
