wikipedia said 265mi but google maps says 277 from the 90 on ramp to 80 off ramp? I looked real hard and didn't spot any detours on this route.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Concurrency_(road)&oldid=1156649501#:~:text=The%20longest%20Interstate%20highway%20concurrency,examples%20of%20eight%2Dway%20concurrencies.

this seemed like a huge discrepancy, so I investigated the source, which is a dead page that auto redirects to https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/interstate_highway_system/routefinder/table01.cfm
After confirming that I-90 is 135.6 Mi on I-80 (Indiana) and 142.80 Mi. on I-80 (Ohio), I submitted an edit correcting the mileage and the citation: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Concurrency_(road)&oldid=1164097597
I'm sure there are many other wikipedia errors that I just blindly copied into my video descriptions, but not this time!
I make videos for Full Length Interstates. FullLengthInterstates.com redirects to my channel at youtube.com/FullLengthInterstates

About 136 miles in Indiana (mm 21 to mm 157) and 142 miles in Ohio (mm 0 to mm 142), for a total of around 278 miles.

TDD/TTY phone?

Presumably the Agents of the Matrix would do something to bind MMM's appendages.
