While looking at the Denver map for the thread on separate interstates/
consecutive interchanges, I realized that within one unbroken 10 mile
drive, I could drive on five separate interstate highways.
Start on NB I-25 at the exit to EB I-76, take the next exit to EB
I-270, go five miles to EB I-70, then 3.6 miles to SB I-225. Works in
the other direction too, although rampage in the WB direction would
add a bit of mileage.
Anywhere else have as many/more interstates in as little/less mileage?
Cincinnati, I-74 EB to I-75 S to I-71 N to I-471 S to I-275 either
direction
Wow, close. Google maps it out at 10.6 miles (departing from the
originating highway just before the point of exit to the second, to
the point of merging on the last highway).
Darn
OK, in New York City, I-95 S to I-87 S to I-278 E/I-895 N to I-278 E
to I-678 E
That looks like 8.6- Hide quoted text -

I-278 and I-895 do not overlap.
Google Maps lies then, my badhttp://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=40.819136,-73.890867&spn=0.028385,...- Hide quoted text -

Have to be careful around interchanges with online mapping services.
Sometimes the shield gets placed in the wrong location.

I go by NYSDOT's photolog. :D

Actually, that shield is placed like that because the ramp to I-895 starts back there. The mapping services do tend to do that a lot.
