No guesses yet?  The trees are a clue.  And I blacked out an "upcoming exits"  sign that of course would have been an instant giveaway.

Let's try changing one digit: I-275 (FL)?
"Now, what if da Bearss were to enter the Indianapolis 5-hunnert?"
"How would they compete?"
"Let's say they rode together in a big buss."
"Is Ditka driving?"
"Of course!"
"Then I like da Bear buss."

You are correct!  This is northbound in St. Petersburg.  The sign that was covered up would have been a dead giveaway, and features two 3di's that will probably never make it to this game due to their lack of nondescriptness.  Overall I'm a fan of I-275 through St. Petersburg.  It's a bit less stressful than going through Tampa, and has one section south of here where the carriageways cross over one another briefly.

Knowing there are some four-lane sections of I-695 (MD), could this be one of them?

There are indeed some 4-lane sections of I-695, but I'm afraid this is not one of them.

All of the guesses so far, while incorrect, are in the right region: Northeast.

An additional clue: There is a toll plaza roughly a mile ahead from the pictured location, but it is not the 3di in question that is tolled.

I-287 NY

Incorrect, but...2 of the 3 digits are correct. The question is, which ones?  :-P

How about I-283 in PA? Does have a Toll Booth to enter the PA Turnpike at its southern terminus...

That's the one! Yes, the Harrisburg East interchange toll plaza is indeed the one I was referring to in my clue.

(And as you probably noticed since you found the spot on streetview, I conveniently picked a spot just past ground-mounted signage for PA 283/Hbg Int'l Airport on the right & the Turnpike on the left.)

I didn't offer up a submission from GSV the 1st time I got the guess right...but I will this time.

I think this one will be easy, but who knows?

I believe this is the 3DI challenge, not the 2DI challenge, so no, not I-78 in NJ
