What's your farthest-away clinch?

[Scott5114]

What highway have you fully clinched that's the farthest away from you? (You decide what is important enough to count and what point you're measuring from; it may be more meaningful to have multiple answers if you've spent long amounts of time in your adult life in different regions, to have separate domestic and international answers, to exclude Alaska and Hawaii, etc.)

Mine, measuring from Las Vegas, appears to be Interstate 43. I haven't clinched anything farther east or north than that. (It would be M-28 if I hadn't blown the clinch by not getting the portion east of I-75.) If I measure from Oklahoma, it'd be CA 75, though of course I didn't live in Oklahoma when I clinched CA 75 so that's kind of a BS answer. The farthest-away clinch I had when I actually lived in OK would have been NV 159, which is just a few miles away from me now.

HI 50 on Hawaii's Kauai island (about 4900 miles from my current home in northern Virginia). Honorable mentions to the ring road M25 around London, England, and the Nome-Teller Highway in northwestern Alaska.

[Rothman]

I-H201, 4,800 miles.
I-280 or I-805 in California are probably next at surprisingly close mileage -- 2,800 miles.

Tikhii Don railroad route -- Moscow to Rostov-na-Donu, Russia: 5,000 miles at its furthest point.

From where I'm at now in California probably something in Nova Scotia.  My first thought was to say HI 50 before I realized how much closer I am to Hawaii these days.

Mine is A3 near Paris.

[I-55]

Interstate: I-220 LA (923 miles)
Non-Interstate: NM 599 or NM 423 (both 1,408 miles)
As a driver: I-459 (624 miles)

Sticking with numbered highways, probably Mexico Fed. 68D.

National Route 174 in Kobe, 5425 miles away: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sudNyVj9myrs3iE17

It's the shortest highway in Japan (with a sign to commemorate, though the street view image angle is bad) at 187.1 meters. We clinched it on foot.

[I-57/Route 66 Fan]

I-865, I believe

[vdeane]

If it counts as its own thing, the Key West portion of FL A1A (1,338 miles).  If not, Florida's I-395 (1,228 miles).

I've clinched NV 372, although I wasn't driving at the time (but I did choose the routing). 1330 miles from home.

The farthest away that I actually drove in order to clinch is MT 5, 570 miles from home.

[NWI_Irish96]

WA 433 is 2163 miles away

I-110(CA) is 2026 miles away

[1995hoo]

Hawaii State Route 550 on Kauai. Any clinches I have in Europe are in either England or Scotland and they're not nearly as far from home as Hawaii is.

[Takumi]

Some regional route in Gauteng.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Continantal: I-805 (CA)
Overall: USVI route 35

[paulthemapguy]

Probably either Washington 116, a road to Fort Flagler State Park, or California 197 near Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

[pderocco]

Since I'm in SoCal, my most distant clinch would be the west end of US-2A in Macwahoc ME, 3280 road miles away, according to Google. Oddly, if I try US-1A further north, Google routes that through Canada starting at Port Huron/Sarnia, for a total of only 3217 road miles.

[hbelkins]

US 163.

Before my trip to Texas, I would have said I-270 in Columbus, but it's now Texas Spur 54 in Harlingen.


And look at that! It's my 680th post! I quite like that number alongside my avatar. 

[CoreySamson]

I believe that mine is CA 262, at about 1620 miles away from home.

[kphoger]

Sticking with numbered highways, probably Mexico Fed. 68D.

Oh, I guess I should say the distance.

This was during our honeymoon, and we moved when we got married.  So the distance is complicated:  I had a lease at two different places that month.  As the crow flies, it was 1475 miles from our new place in Herrin IL, or 1719 miles from my old place in Wheaton IL.  From our current house here in Wichita, 1218 miles.

[Great Lakes Roads]

State Road: HI-92
Interstate: I-H2
US Highway: US 350

[jmacswimmer]

Looks like mine is a near-tie between CA 110 & CA 56, at ~2,270-2,290 miles.

Limiting to interstates, it might be I-11/I-515 at ~2,070 miles. While I drove it just before (I think) I-11's official extension to NV 157/Kyle Canyon Rd and official decommissioning of I-515, I still covered what is now I-11's current length. At the time I-15's exit 42 signage was updated going southbound (but not northbound) and one or 2 I-515 shields were replaced to I-11.

How far, if you tunnel through the earth?
