Oop, I forgot to update this after a visit to the booming metropolis of Vivian, SD. Down to 1,738 miles.

Interstate 10 between the LA Metro and San Antonio.

Alot of I-80 and I-90.

I-55 in Mississippi and Illinois.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

I-90 from Madison to eastern Washington

I-80 from Walcott (Quad Cities area) to Sacramento

I-94 from Madison west

I-70 from Columbia MO west

I-25 whole length

I-35 whole non-overlap length

I-15 from Las Vegas north
Center lane merges are the most unsafe thing ever, especially for unfamiliar drivers.

Control cities should be actual cities/places that travelers are trying to reach.

Spent some time on Travel Mapping researching this, and was a little surprised at what I found.

The top fifteen:

372 miles:  I-85 from US 29/I-185 to I-95 (SC-NC-VA)
367 miles:  I-90 from I-82 to US 93 (WA-ID-MT)
269 miles:  I-15 from I-90 to the Canadian border (MT)
264 miles:  I-95 from I-295 (exit 44) to the Canadian border (ME)
247 miles:  I-15 from I-86 to I-90 (ID-MT)
245 miles:  I-86 from I-90 to I-81 (PA-NY)
230 miles:  I-77 from I-26 to I-81 (SC-NC-VA)
227 miles:  I-40 from I-240 (exit 52) to I-885 (exit 279) (NC)
226 miles:  I-90 from US 75 to US 52 (MN)
174 miles:  I-87 from I-90 to US 11 (NY)
174 miles:  I-84 from I-205 to I-82 (OR)
172 miles:  I-75 from M-59 to US 127 (MI)
170 miles:  I-81 from I-88 to the Canadian border (NY)
167 miles:  I-77 from I-64 to US 250 (WV-OH)
161 miles:  I-90 from I-25 to I-190 (exit 57) (WY-SD)

Some notes:  I-86 (NY-PA) is the longest Interstate route I have not traveled.

I've traveled very little of I-87 but have traveled the concurrency with I-90 in the Albany area, which pretty much splits the route in half.
Main Line Interstates clinched:  2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 37, 39, 43, 44, 45, 55, 57, 59, 65, 68, 71, 72, 74 (IA-IL-IN-OH), 76 (CO-NE), 76 (OH-PA-NJ), 78, 80, 82, 86 (ID), 88 (IL), 94, 96
