Interstate you are the closest to clinching?

The closest for me is I-684 in New York and Connecticut. I always forget that it extends just a tad farther north to end at US 6/202. So I've been on 99 percent of that route.

Same here, actually. Listing that segment clinched is one of the mistakes I made in my original Travel Mapping list file that will be fixed whenever I next submit it. So Travel Mapping is showing that I've clinched I-684 right now, but it will no doubt be at or near the top of the unclinched list after the update removes the segment north of I-84!

i only need i-70 from glenwood springs to cove fort.

I-64, I-80, I-76 (west), *64s in hampton roads, 225,270,180 (co, wy)

2di:

I-30.  I have 99.4% clinched and 2.24 miles to clinch between exits 77 and 79 (thought it was even less than that).

3di:

I-190 (NY).  Have 97.6% clinched.  All that is left is between the last exit and the Canadian border: 0.68 miles.
Evidently, I did not update this?  Clinched I-190 back in the fall.

Looking at I-275 in Florida for 3di now: 44.16 out of 60.1 miles clinched (percentage-wise -- 73.48% clinched)

I-110 in Texas: .8 out of 1.13 clinched, but shortest in terms of just smallest mileage needed (71.33% clinched).

I think it's best to do these by percentage, otherwise I think my lowest 2di is I-87 in North Carolina and I haven't been on it.

For 2dis, I'm at 90% or above on three:
I-55 (99%) - I'm missing between Cicero and its northern terminus
I-80 (91%) - I'm missing three different stretches (between I-71 and I-76 in Ohio, between I-680 and I-99 in Ohio/Pennsylvania, and between I-280 and I-95 in New Jersey)
I-29 (90%) - I'm missing between Fargo and Grand Forks

For 3dis, I'm at 65% or above on three:
I-275 (FL) (73%) - I'm missing from I-4 north to I-75
I-295 (DE/NJ/PA) (71%) - I'm missing the loop around Trenton from I-195 to I-95
I-610 (TX) (66%) - I'm missing from the Hardy Toll Road eastbound to I-45

I clinched the portion of I-80 in NJ listed above, so now I'm up to 92%. I also clinched I-295 in NJ and PA on the same trip.

For 2dis it's pretty clearly I-16 for me. I only need the little bit east of I-95.

I've picked that low hanging fruit since I last posted in here. Now it's I-85, which I have fully clinched south of Durham (amounting to about 80.5% of the route).

Other high-percentage 2dis for me include:

I-84 (west), 76.9%
I-45, 72.5%
I-15, 64.6%
I-70, 62.8%
I-44, 61.5%
I-40, 61.1%
I-80, 57.5%
I-25, 51.3%
I-77, 50.5%

The closest is likely I-65 as I've been on all of it north of I-840 south of Nashville.

I-75 is close, but I am missing:
M-55 (west) to US-127 and BL I-75 (Grayling south) to M-32 in Michigan
I-74 to Tylersville Rd in Ohio
The Macon segment in Georgia
FL 582 to CR 470 in Florida
South of FL 72 in Florida

InterstateFan621

Interstate 75. I only need to go to the Alligator alley and north of Detroit.

Probably like around 80% done

For me, the closest 2di's that I have not already clinched overall are I-95 (need the northernmost 110 miles) and the eastern I-76 (between I-71 and about the westerly I-77 junction).

Closest 3di's . . . has to be I-495 (NY) - have not done the segment west of I-278.  I-684 (NY) - have not done segment north of I-84.

I have several 2di's that I have all but a few exits in one of the terminating cities. In order of remaining distance, I have:
I-86 in Idaho, needing only the last couple of exits in Pocatello.
I-76, needing only the last exits in Philly and all in New Jersey.
I-77, needing only the last few exits in Cleveland.

I would have to say that I'm missing the last mile of I-64 in Missouri by the river. Almost clinched it when I went to the Arch. Not sure when I'll clinch it in full, that's for a different day. Also missing the last stretch of I-72 from Decatur to Champaign, and I don't have a solid date on when I'll get that done.

I-535, because I exited off instead of going all the way through downtown Superior.

Unless one is deliberately trying to clinch 535, this probably trips up a lot of out-of-towners given the only real places of interest reached by going straight through on Hammond rather than exiting at 53/35 are city hall and the university.

And the accordion museum.  :biggrin:

2 di: I-81, need Whitney Point NY to Syracuse and the northern I-481 junction to Canada

Cross Country 2 di: I-90, need west of Gillette WY, Batavia-Rochester NY, Utica-Schenectady, NY, east of Worcester MA

3 di: I-190 (NY) – simply need Queenston-Lewiston Bridge to Canada (which would also give me ON 405)

2 di within a state: I-94 Wisconsin, East of exit 319.  I-94 Indiana east of exit 40.  I-77 West Virginia, south of US 460, north of US 50.

I had I-75 clinched about 10 years ago. I was only missing the stretch through Macon, Georgia since I had always used I-475 to bypass Macon like everyone else does but I figured out that it was the only stretch of I-75 I hadn't been on so coming back from Florida about 10 years ago I decided to do it and clinched it. Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie was the first part of I-75 I clinched.

With my planned route back from Florida, I'll have almost all of I-77 clinched by the end of next week and I will only be missing the portion north of the Ohio Turnpike

Roadgeekteen

Probably I-84 for 2dis at least. Just missing Scranton-Milford.

I have that exact same stretch of I-77 complete, just missing the stretch north of the Ohio Turnpike. I've clinched the rest of it.

bwana39

I-10 I have all of it except for the Florida Part.
I have all of I-8 except from Gila Bend to I-10.


Let's build what we need as economically as possible.

golden eagle

I-20 in South Carolina
I-55 from Joliet northward
I-65 from I-71 interchange northward (except for the duplex with I-70 in Indianapolis)

I-55

2di: Probably I-59. Missing everything bypassed by I-459 and haven't been south of Meridian. Next best guess would be I-65 (missing north of Lafayette and south of Ardmore, TN).

3di: I-359 from a mileage standpoint, as it's only 3 miles and I haven't clinched. Percentagewise, I-465 would be my best bet as I only have to drive the segment between exits 4 and 9 (IN-37/Fut I-69 and I-70) out of 53 miles).

SkyPesos

Probably I-30 for me now, missing the part west of I-45/US 75

93% of I-95; 129 miles remaining (mostly north of Bangor, Maine)
88% of I-41; 21 miles remaining (between Green Bay and Appleton)
85% of I-85; 99 miles remaining (south of Richmond)

98% of I-490 around Rochester; 0.67 miles remaining
97% of I-295 in Maine; 1.18 miles
93% of I-495 in Delaware; 0.68 miles

Completed most of the western I-74 in January; now about 96% complete.

Finished off that bit of I-295 in Maine...but I forgot to finish the Scarborough Connector. :P

95% of I-880 completed in western Iowa (I jumped off and took IA 191 for a bit). Ironically, I'd completed its numerical namesake in the Bay Area two weeks before that.

fwydriver405

My top 5, mostly in Maryland...

2di: I-97 in MD - close to clinching it completely until we had to get off at Exit 15 to get to our hotel. Need 4.3 km to complete fully.

3di: CA I-880 (1.2 km), MD I-195 (2.39 km), NY I-295 (4.84 km), MD I-595 (5.62 km)

ftballfan

I-77: Only missing the section north of exit 145 in Ohio (the only time I was on the OH stretch of I-77 was before the direct interchange opened from the Turnpike to I-77)
