Interstates that you have seen both terminuses of but never traveled between

In my life I have seen many interstate terminuses, but never actually made the journey in between.

I have been at both ends of I-10, but never clinched the whole route
I have seen both ends of I-55, but never clinched the whole route
I have even seen both ends of I-59, but never used it completely

Then both ends of I-65 I have seen, but traveled most of the route except for Southern Indiana, and one small portion in Southern Alabama.

What routes have you seen at both ends, but never filled in the gaps in between?  Being the clinch threads have many missing interstate numbers I am sure that many of you probably have been on many in part or interchanged with at each end.

Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

I-293 in New Hampshire. Both ends are at I-93, so this may be a trivial case.

I-195 in MA/RI and the eastern I-84 come to mind for me.  Also a bunch of NY routes and at least one VT route.

I-295 seems much more likely than I-195. Are you sure you meant I-195?

Last year traveling through South Texas, I made sure to endure Laredo city traffic so I could enter the south end of I-35. I've driven through the north terminus in Duluth several times. What I'm missing of I-35 is much of the route south of Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Yep.  All of my mileage on I-195 comes from two trips separated by several years.  I have the western end from a diversion to Fall River after a family vacation to Boston (we went back to the Mass Pike via Providence, and to this day that is the only time I've been to Rhode Island), and the eastern from a school field trip to Cape Cod (and a visit to the New Bedford Whaling Museum, though we went back via MA 140, so I'm missing the section in between).

My literal interpretation of the title would be to have been to both ends of a route but have not clinched any of it. For interstates this allows me the following:
- I-215, CA
- I-470, KS
- I-495, ME
- I-640, TN
- I-670, KS/MO

If we also consider interstates that I've been to both ends of and traveled some but not all of the route in between, that adds the following:
- I-4
- I-8
- I-10
- I-77
- I-190, NY
- I-270, OH
- I-275, FL
- I-275, KY/IN/OH
- I-295, FL
- I-376, PA
- I-520, GA/SC

For beltways I'm defining "endpoints" as the location of mile marker 0.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

I'm pretty sure there are some others, but right now I can recall these:

I-84 (eastern)
I-87
I-91
I-93
I-195 (VA)
I-195 (RI/MA)
I-464 (VA)
I-476 (PA)
I-287 (NY/NJ)
I-895 (NY)
I-395 (CT/MA)
I-495 (MA)
I-485 (NC)
I-640 (TN)
I guess I could count I-285 in Georgia (passed through both junctions on I-85 and have been on some segments of I-285, but not nearly all of it) and I-270 in Ohio (same but substitute I-70)


Edited to add: BTW, I was construing this as meaning it's OK if you've travelled on portions of the road between the termini as long as (a) you have seen both termini and (b) you haven't clinched it. If it means roads for which you've seen both termini but never travelled on at all, I would have to shorten the list to I-464, I-895, I-395, I-485, and I-640. For the others, I've travelled some portion (most of it, in the case of I-87) but not the whole thing.

I-495 in Delaware
I-676 in PA-NJ

I believe I've never traveled the portion of I-87 south of the Thruway. I also believe I used the Canada crossing from I-87. Neither of these is certain because the Canada trip was 13 years ago and I was not behind the wheel. Also, one of the bus trips I made between NYC and Boston (via Hartford, CT) could theoretically have used the southern portion of I-87, though I don't believe that to be the case.

Do beltways have termini? If the Baltimore beltway (I-695) can be said to terminate at either or both junctions with I-95, you can add that one to the list.

Also, I-95 itself in NJ. I've been at both termini many times (heh heh). Though, I've traveled the entirety of future I-95 on many occasions

That's two. So where are the other three?
