M-59's western terminus at I-96 in Howell, MI:


Eastbound AZ-86 somewhere many miles before its terminus at I-19 in Tucson, AZ
(this may be cheating; it's a television screenshot from a segment intro on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives):

I actually have a similar pic that I didn't use because I figured it would be cheating:



I didn't use it because it was taken at the west entrance of Saguaro NP, so it's not anywhere near any of those highways, let alone at their junction.

Looks like New York 7/I-88 is already covered so I'll go with others.

New York 28 and I-587 end together.  For NY 28, it's the bottom of the 200+ mile "C" shape through two mountain ranges.  For I-587, it's the end of a mile and a quarter between what looks now to be a couple of roundabouts, and which is so insignificant that its parent doesn't even acknowledge its existence. August 3, 2008.
