Auxilary Interstates Not in States Where the Parent Is

Kinda confusing.  SO we all know there are three 3dis that enter states that their parents do not (I-535 in WI, I-129 in SD and I475 in IN).  So I thought of the next best thing, kinda like what a one hitter is to a no hitter.  It's not quite the same anomaly but almost as good.  How many instances do 3dis enter states where their parents do travel to, but their "life" in that state has come and gone?

My example is I-155 coming from Missouri to Tennessee. I-55 already came and went into and from Tennessee 77 miles south of where I-155 enters the state.  It is like I-55's presence has been forgotten by the time you get to I-155.  What are other examples of this happening?  I understand there is some vagueness to distance, but lets have un with it. 


I-55

I-395 CT/MA serves Worcester while I-95 goes to Boston, state lines crossings are about 25-30 miles separated. It may not seem like much, but since states are a lot smaller in the northeast it is a large distance in context.

That's one of three in New England that I know of. I-195 (RI/MA) comes off of I-95 in Providence. The other being I-684 in CT (albeit with no exits) coming off of I-84 in NY.

And I-287 in New Jersey.

True.  I get it confused with I-278 sometimes.

I-55

Upon completion of I-785 it will cross into VA 90-100 miles west of I-85 to serve Danville.

Honorable mention would be I-369.  Lets all pretend I-69 and I-369 were finished.  I-69 will enter in the south of Arkansas right in the middle and then exit in the east in about the center as well, while I-369, although never leaving Texas, will come a mile away from Arkansas at it's most southwestern point.
