- ✵ America's Longest 3-Digit Interstates
✵ Interstate spur routes, 3 digit highways that branch off of major interstates, mostly in large metropolitan areas. These spur routes are pretty simple, alot of the time just serving downtowns are other points of interest off of the main interstate. They serve an important purpose with funding and connectivity, so today I wanted to talk specifically about them. In this video, we’ll go over the 5 longest interstate spur routes, and go a little bit indepth on all of them to see why theyre there and how they got there.

My dad grew up in the 1930s in Wichita Kansas. In 76 or 77 he took me to Wichita to show me his first boyhood home and he was devastated when he found it was no longer there. Turns out it and other houses were torn down so last bit of 135 could be built.
My dad was on the sheriff department back when it was being built in the 70s, and said that people would drive off the unfinished road a lot
Yeah eminent domain is awful sometimes. My mother's childhood home got eminent domain'd. It was too close to a road that was changing from one lane each way to two lanes each way.
Today is the 68th anniversary of the signing of the Federal Aid Highway Act, the legislation that created the Interstate Highway System.
Fascinating!
Which ultimately lead to the creation of the Geography Beaver.
And destroyed railways. 😭
Possibly one of the most consequential federal programs of all time. Completely changed America!
They need to reinvest in the interstate highway system. Maybe if cities and states start identifying as Ukrainian or Israelis they might send some money for us.
476 is commonly known as the Northeast Extension, part of the PA turnpike system [except the Blue Route chunk at the south end]
You can tell where someone grew up if they call it 476, the Northeast Extension, or the Blue Route more commonly lol. It's weird calling it a spur route, it's basically the major north-south route through eastern PA.
238 is the exception to EVERY interstate convention
Yes but it comes from CA-238 so its name is reasonable
ok
you are so so soso stupid
i238 is an even number and runs E-W so is consistent with the interstate convention.
@@MrCho14the even/odd rule only works for primary (2 digit) interstates. For auxiliary (3 digit) interstates, the last two digits always have to be from the interstate it branches off from, so even if, say, the auxiliary route goes east-west but the primary route goes north-south, the auxiliary interstate would still be odd. The number that does matter for auxiliary interstates is the first digit. Even first digit means it loops around (or at the very least if fully looping is impossible, then at least some circular-ish route) and if it’s odd, it means it’s a spur that will continue going further and further away and never reconnect. As such, since there is no I-38, I-238 shouldn’t be able to exist. However, since I-238 already connects two auxiliary routes (I-880 and I-580) and there was already a CA-238, they just used that for the interstate number, even tho it broke both rules for auxiliary interstates (First digit for I-238 shouldve been odd because it does not loop and I-38 is not an interstate so I-238 technically shouldn’t exist)
I grew up in Delaware County PA in the 1970s and remember the construction of the Blue Route. When my Dad first pointed to some random place and said there's a road behind those trees that's not connected to any other roads I thought he was joking.
i495 represent. I can hear it from my house sometimes. It sometimes some places has traffic but never like i95(128) or i93 or i90. A good way to get around the Bay State (MA). The "outer belt" idea became i95 overlaid onto the existing state route 128 when i95 was not allowed to go all the way into Boston. It got some upgrades but still baaaarely meets interstate rules in some places. The "inner belt" was never realized but you can see some partially constructed ramps in places like Melina Cass and Storrow Drive exits to i93.
I-495 also serves as a major traffic route from I-90 and I-290 northeastward into the Merrimac Valley to access US-3 and I-93 into NH or continue onward to I-95 for coastal NH and Maine.
There are a few mainline interstates in Arizona that function more like spur routes. I-19 is a spur of I-10 connecting Tucson to the border, and I-17 is effectively a 150-mile spur of I-10 from Phoenix, connecting it to I-40. ADOT even refers to the interchange where it starts at as “The Split.” The only northbound control city for I-17 is Flagstaff, and once you get past SR-101 on the southbound stretch, the control city is changed to Tucson, which is the control city for I-10 eastbound from Phoenix. I-19 is only 64 miles long.
I think this is the first time my hometown (Edison) has been named in your videos 😊 Nice work once again
Nice video but the "looping" spurs are beltways. You are totally correct about I-476, though, as it doesn't really serve as a beltway around Philly per se. Earlier today I had the pleasure of driving this road from I-276 up past Jim Thorpe, PA and it is a beautiful stretch of interstate. It is especially pretty in the fall up there!
Interstate 295 in Philadelphia(93 mi) is longer than 275 in Cincinnati (82 mi). May also be the funkiest shaped route of any interstate.
Also Interstate 376 Pittsburgh is longer than 275 in Cincinnati(84 mi)
I really enjoy your content, but I wanted to point out that your data source may be out of date :)
Sidenote: Seems like the one category texas can't win haha
Being a Pittsburgher, I was thinking that 376 would be longer than 275, although they're pretty close.
295 surrounds Philadelphia, primarily in New Jersey but is not in the city of Philadelphia at all. Initially the 10 miles in Pennsylvania were part of 95, as well as 8 miles of the New Jersey side. That changed with 95 being rerouted further on the NJ Turnpike to the PA Turnpike Extension and on to the PA Turnpike to the new interchange.
@@RonD937 yeah, it’s just considered a bypass of Philadelphia-Trenton, even if it doesn’t go into philly
@@17Se7enteen But your sentence is still incorrect as it is not IN Philadelphia and barely goes into Pennsylvania.
Okay, what you're describing in general are AUXILIARY routes. Spur routes are the odd digit in front interstates, and even digits are the loops, bypasses, or even the freeway that goes through the city while the parent route goes around. Just an FYI, my friend.
Enjoyed your video, nice job, very informative! Here in the Boston area I-495 is the bypass for the very outer suburbs in what locals call Metro West. I-95 runs as a bypass for the immediate suburbs on what we locals still call Route 128 which was completed in the 1950's as a bypass for the city. I-95 was originally going to go right through Boston on a project known as the Southwest Corridor. That project was squashed due to fierce local opposition in the 1970's and most of the highway project was scapped and developed into mass transit. The rerouting of the MBTA (The T) Orange Line was completed in 1987 and this line to Forrest Hills runs on what would have been I-95. While I-95 links the Northeast Corridor, Boston is the only major city that it does not run through. People here don't even call it I-95 which technically it is, it's just called 128.
This is one of my most favourite videos you made. You're awesome!
The upper half of I-476 used to be called the PA Turnpike NE Extension. And as your map shows, the lower part was and often is still called the blue route.
I was very happy when I saw this video pop up in my notifications. I think you don't talk enough about Pennsylvania, personally, but then again I also do live there so that might just be me being biased 😅
I agree I feel like Pennsylvania in a lot of peoples mind is underrated. This is despite that it is where this country gained independence among many other innovar that have came out of this state.
As a Masshole, the joke is, if you live outside 495 (sans Worcester), you might as well live in another state.
I-476 in PA really consists of two different highways that were linked together at a later date. The longest portion from Plymouth Meeting, heading north was originally just the northeast extension of the PA turnpike, and as you pointed out did not originally have an interstate designation. This is a toll road. I-476 was built much later and in various stages as a loop around Philly from Plymouth Meeting down to I-95 just south of the airport. This stretch of highway is also known locally as the "Blue Route" which was color of the route option that was chosen when the highway was finally built. In fact the two highways didn't originally connect until the mid-county interchange was built. The signage on the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) where it intersects with I-476 in Montgomery County has never been updated and still states "476 North Plymouth Meeting" (the original terminus of the highway) rather "476 North Allentown" or "476 North Scranton" as it should state.
Huh, never thought about 287 being a spur route, used to go up to Vermont for school and I took this route all the time to skip NYC.
My mom had a friend whose husband was a highway engineer. There was an Interstate loop route approved to go about a quarter mile from their home. She went out out at night and pulled the survey stakes out of the ground. It didn't cause any significant delay in building the freeway, but probably made her feel better.
Absolutely the #1 map rodent on UA-cam
honorable mention is i-435 in kansas city at 83 miles, only half a mile shorter than cincinnati's beltway
Love your channel! How bout doing a video in sympathy with all us dyslexics? For example, I-69 & I-96 in Lansing. Also could include I-78 & I-87 in NYC (also I-278 & I-287) and where they intersect or come close. As a former fire dispatcher, I can attest that when people call in about a wreck or something, they sometimes get confused about where they are and it causes a lot of delays. Also, on those long beltways, what about the directions on the signs(N,S,E,W)? Cheers!
Near me in Metro Detroit, there's US-24 in close proximity to State Route 24. Similar but different. Leads to some interesting road signs.
I-495 in New York City and on Long Island isn't included! It runs quite away from the Queens Midtown Tunnel to Riverhead, NY. Originally it was supposed to extend across the sound to New London, CT or even Westerly, RI.
And I-495 around Boston is actually a loop; its south end connects to I-195 and Route 25.
I-135 through Wichita, KS was completed in 1979, the same year Wichita lost its Amtrak service, the Chicago-Houston Lone Star.
There are three I-295 roads: Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Delaware across the Delaware River from I-95 running through Philadelphia, Virginia down around Richmond and Petersburg, and Jacksonville, Florida.
Hey, love the videos. Any thoughts on Interstate 405 in California, Interstate 680 in California, Interstate 380 in Iowa, Interstate 376 in Pennsylvania, Interstate 390 in New York, Interstate 840 in Tennessee, Interstate 275 in Florida and Interstate 587 in North Carolina?
Agreed on the 390. 76 mile auxiliary route.
I wondered why you didn't also note that I-476 is the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension.
I use I-287 every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday when I commute to and from work. I live in New Brunswick and work in Parsippany.
What do you think of the I-405 in Southern California? I think it barely misses the list (about 70 miles long). There's another I-405 in Portland, OR...bit it's a tiny fraction of the size in CA.
Just one more thing, do you think New York City has the shortest spur routes as well?
Thank you for your post.
I’ve driven all three I-405s, Seattle, Portland and L.A. The big Interstate loop around Portland is I-205.
I have this fascination with looking at the Wikipedia pages of the highways of British Columbia, where I live. Our auxiliary/spur routes are suffixed with a letter rather than prefixed with an extra digit.
I learned that Highway 22A is named after the Washington State Highway 22A, which it connects to, but since the Washington highway has been renamed to State Route 215 and the BC highway 22A doesn’t connect with Highway 22 (barely misses it by 10km/6mi), it’s hard to classify it as an auxiliary route anymore.
Only three highways in the province have spur/auxiliary highways with letters higher than A. Highway 7 is unique in that there is a Highway 7B but no 7A (there was a 7A, but it was decommissioned).
The longest highway in the province is Highway 97, at 2,081km/1,293mi in length. It has four spur/auxiliary routes, lettered A through D. The longest of these is 97C, which is the longest auxiliary highway in BC at 224km/139mi in length. Since most of 97C is a 4-lane highway with high speed limits, it was originally going to be signed as an extension of Highway 8, but the local communities thought it would be better to connect it in name with the other spur routes of Highway 97 in the region. (It’s actually about 40 minutes faster to take Highway 97C than it is to take Highway 97.)
Thanks for the video!
1 Week Gang (275 Is Amazing)

Spurs are to connect a city to the interstate not on its regular route.
Connectors connect multiple interstates together (I-476 PA, I-270 MD)
Bypasses are routes that go around 1 side of a city.
Loops go close to, if not completely around a city.
No. An odd first number just means the highway doesn’t end at another interstate highway. There are violations to this, such as I-170 in Missouri - it now ends at an interstate at both ends. An even digit means it COULD loop back to its parent, but that’s not always the case.
Actually it's the first digit that determines a spur of bypass but not always....by the way 170 is an even number but it's a spur because of the 1
@@truckercowboyed2638that’s what I said
Maybe I missed something when you laid out the criteria for this list, but what about 495 around DC? 285 around Atlanta?
I clicked this video after getting home from driving on 476 and hoping it was on the list. However most Philly people don’t really consider anything past King of Prussia i476. That’s considered the northeast extension
I-287 is numbered the way it is because despite beginning and ending off of I-95 it runs concurrently with I-87 for 18 miles once it crosses into New York.
Would it be possible if you can make a video explaining why I 476 has very few exits?
I notice that once you leave the Philadelphia metro area, all the exits are spread out 10-20 miles between each one, with only one exit contributing to the Allentown area. This trend continues as you travel to the north end of the interstate.
I enjoy watching these videos as I find road geography to be very fascinating. Keep up the good work Beaver!
I guess it's because of the tolls. More tollbooths means it's more expensive to build them and hire people to operate them. However, since most tolling is electronic now (no idea if it is along here), this isn't much of a concern anymore, but old highways like this still have exits spaced far apart.
@@robbiewinfield7853 The Pa. Turnpike is the same with most exits up to 18 miles apart. It was started & designed in the 50s. Also plans are in the works to take out all Toll booths & have overhead systems to record tolls.
@@robbiewinfield7853 I can see that as an understandable reason to why they do that. If plans go in the works to overhead toll systems as Roberta said, it would make more sense to add more exits in the Allentown, Wilks Barre, and Scranton areas.
People who want to go on I 78 near Allentown are inconvienced that they have to go on US 22. You would think they might have 1 or 2 more exits for Allentown in addition to that. Since Allentown is the next largest/most populated city in PA after Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
275 lead to massive growth in the greater Cincinnati area, especially north, east, and south. Indiana, to the west, hasn't seen the same growth, but it's been picking up over the last 20 years.
Pennsylvania has a colorful...and controversial...history with the Interstate system. You could make a complete video discussing it alone: I-80S becoming I-76, I-876 becoming !-579, and let's not forget I-99! I'll also mention that I went on a business trip to an eastern suburb of Philadelphia literally days after the Blue Route was completed. At least one community in its path agreed to its construction on the condition that it be narrowed down to two lanes in each direction. I don't know if it has changed in the last 32 years, but it was already a bottleneck for traffic when I drove on it.
Incorrect terminology....
Technically only 3 digits interstates starting with an odd digit should be called spurs. Spurs usually only connect to an interstate on one end and often end in a larger city at the other end. The even digit ones are properly called bypasses. Typically bypasses bypass the city the regular interstate goes through, but sometimes, it is the bypass that goes through. But as noted, there are exceptions. I-395/I-290 in MA and CT are both poorly named parts of the same road. A better name would be 895 or 695- since it starts at I-95, and ends at 495.
MassHighway manages I-395 and I-290 as the same facility. The mile marker numbering starts at the Rhode Island state line and around the 10 mile mark is where I-395 ends and I-290 begins, and the mile numbering continues as it was thru to the other end of I-290. For a time they had the TWO sets of mile markers; one for 395/290 (which the renumbered to mile marker based exit numbers follow) and then a second mile marker counting from the start of I-290. They've removed this second set a year or two ago.
We pronounce Salina as Sah-line-ah.
That section of I-335 is quite lonely nonetheless.
For me, the most desolate highway in Kansas is probably K-150 in its entirety between US-56/77 and I-35/US-50 in Emporia.
According to Wikipedia, many expressways were planned to be built here in Miami Dade County as well as Broward County, but they were cancelled in the 1970s due to opposition and the construction of the Miami Metrorail. Have you ever considered doing a video about that topic?
I-287 in Westchester County, New York is called the Cross Westchester Expressway!
Also, it's just the Tappan Zee Bridge, unless you're required to call it by the official name because you work for the government.
This holds true up the Hudson: Newburgh-Beacon, Mid-Hudson, and Kingston-Rhinecliff all have formal names referencing historical figures from New York that nobody actually uses.
Theres exceptions in Michigan. I-275 only touches 75 at one end (was supposed to be both ends but a freeway revolt stopped it). And I-696, featured earlier on this channel, only touches 96 at one end. It was never ever planned to touch 96 at both ends, so i think they just liked the sound of 696 better than 694.
I-495 in New York is called the Long Island Expressway which is the country's (the world's) longest parking lot!! It is the opposite on an EXPRESS way!!
I-287. We prefer the bridge across the Hudson to be called the Tappan Zee Bridge.
But it's not.
it's a crime you didn't mention I-376 in western pennsylvania... it's slightly longer than I-275 in cincinnati metro area, and i think it's the busiest three digit interstate other than I-287 since it's literally the main route that goes through downtown Pittsburgh.
great channel
Caught your error. In Washington state, 705 isn’t the longest. It’s only 1.6 miles long. You probably meant 405.
I agree, I always thought I-287 should be I-x95.
As someone who grew up in Rye, NY the dream of the Rye/Oyster Bay bridge is basically dead. The only way at this point is to actually tunnel from the 287/95 interchange about 2 miles UNDERGROUND beneath mulit-multi-multi million dollar homes, so never gonna happen. And we are way past the opportunity of declaring a right of way via eminent domain, because, well, who lives in those houses. If they had done it when originally planned in 1958 it would have worked. And to be on the south shore of Long Island from Rye in 15 minutes would have been crazy great.
I’ve just realised how much you sound like ToastedCherries!
Control City Freak has done full videos on I-476, I-495 (MA) & I-275 (Cincinnati) as well as I-495 (Long Island Expressway). We should probably encourage him to do one on I-287 as well.
I did a 495 (MA) Video and plan on doing 275 in Cincy. I recently was on 275, and feel like sharing some photos.
I-280 is also in NJ and also does not connect back to or loop around I-80. Side note I've suggested a video of the history and making of I-280 before and I think you will find the history of its creation intriguing.
They built the area of 476 (The Blue Route) south of King of Prussia to alleviate traffic from 76 as 76 is not able to be widened. A two lane, at places, highway along the river into Philly. Every single day between KoP and Philly 76 would be backed up stopped traffic. Now that The Blue Route has been built for a while now traffic is still dead stopped on 76 all the way to Philly AND the Blue Route all the way to 95 😆
I-495 should realistically go all the way to the Borne Bridge along the route of MA25 at its southern end, as 25 is fully up to interstate standards, and it’s not even connected with an interchange or anything, there’s just a sign that says end 495, start 25, so I’m not sure why 25 isn’t part of 495
I am wondering the same thing. I don't see why Route 25 shouldn't be an extension of I-495, considering it meets interstate standards.
I mean, if it were to happen, then I-495 could break interstate numbering rules and would have to have an odd first digit instead since in that case it would be more of a spur route from I-95. Its connection to I-195 at its southern terminus helps it have that even first number.
The combined I-280/I-680 freeways in the Bay Area combine to be a length of 127.74 miles. I don't know why there are signed as two separate freeways when they connect directly to each other in San Jose?
I think I-376 might actually be slightly longer than I-275.
Had no idea 495 was so notable. But heads up, the first R in Worcester is silent. You’d get laughed out of town for saying “wurster”.
I’d love it if you (or anyone) could explain that small piece of highway called I 695 in DC. Especially because the “real” 695 in that region is the Baltimore Beltway
So fried 287 a couple of things I do think maybe this should be discontiguous and two separate numbers. 195 between White Plains and Rye and 287 on the New Jersey side. additionally I think the reason why it gets the 287 designation instead of the 95 spur is because of like 15 to 20 mile stretch including going over the Cuomo bridge where it runs concurrent with interstate 87
I don't get how I-86 in Idaho and I-97 in Baltimore are primary interstates, but I-135 in Kansas and I-476 in PA auxiliary routes.
The PA Turnpike is so weird. I almost feel like it should be renumbered so that the turnpike is all I-76 and what's currently I-76 is numbered to something else. Maybe I-376 since it's a spur into a city and not around the city
287 is the closest interstate to me. 295 around Philadelphia is also quite long. And yes, Worcester is pronounced “woohster”
You missed I-165 in Alabama in that picture at the beginning. lol
And I-110 in Biloxi and Pensacola.
BEAVER UPLOADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been on 476 and 287
The Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway was supposeto be part of I-287,you can even see the North end of the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway that It looks like it should go on
I will be in the cold cold ground before I called the new Tappan Zee Bridge ,the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge
I-684 is a spur road
I-295( Clearview Expressway) is also a spur road
Nobody in New York calls it the mario Cuomo Bridge. It always be the Tappan zee bridge
1:04 the example💀
4:00 The one I've been on many times.
4:42 I've been on I-287 many times, and Personally I think the I-287 and I-87 overlap is silly, and the eastern spur of I-87 in New York should be something like I-387 or I-987, and even more if It extends to Long Island.
What about the 2 three digit interstates that are in Louisville? I264 and I265
I-287 is definitely a weird name. I guess that can't make it I-295 because there's another I-295 in southern NJ. And there's a 495 and a 695 in NY already.
I-376 in Western PA raises its hand for thr #5 spot at 84.4 miles.
Interstate 376 in PA is longer than I-275
I could be wrong but once I-369 is finished in Texas, it would take first place.
So there can be multiple spur routes with the same number, like I-495 around Washington DC that used to be the number for the full Beltway, but now only for half of it.
Why is there a I 495 in DC and also in MA?
@@fakedazzleful The same 3-digit interstate number can exist in different states but cannot be repeated in the same state. There are I-495s in NY and unsigned in ME.
The R is silent for Worcester. It's pronounced "Wooster" except if you are from there, then it's "Wistah".
We have similar in Ohio. In southern Ohio, we pronounce W-o-o-s-t-e-r like rooster. In northern Ohio, it pronounced 'wustah'. My northern friends are either amused or horrified.
Except "Woostah" for those from Greater Boston east of Worcester.
Edit: with the "oo" in "foot".
@user-uo7fw5bo1o Nirthern Ohio was settled by 'refugees' fleeing the destruction in New England during the American Revolutionary War. We have sections called the Connecticut Reserve and Case Western Reserve up there for them. Southern Ohio was primarily settled by Virginians via Kentucky, and what is now West Virginia.
Then shouldn’t interstate 526 in the Charleston, South Carolina area have an even number since it’s a loop?
BTW, Massichusettians pronounce Worchester as "Wooster".
That's what I did
@@BeaverGeography not exactly, you don't say the first R. It's more like Wuss-ter
287 mentioned
Edison NJ mentioned
🎉
I-287 is a lifesaver even if it add 30 or so minutes to the total trip I just cant deal with the GW bridge unless I absolutely have to.
And the Cross Bronx Expressway is imo the worst highway in the US.
I guess L.A.'s I-405 barely missed this list at 72.15 miles. Although it is most likely the longest one with a "The" in front of it, since its "official" name is The 405.
Should I-40 be extened west to Bakersfield or I-5, then I could imagine I-405 being extended along California 14 to Mojave, where it would be signed for Los Angeles. This wou;d be a major extension at modest cost, as most of CA-14 along this path is already up to Interstate standards.
Love the video, but calling it the "Mario Cuomo Bridge" is like nails on a chalkboard. It is, and always will be, the Tappan Zee Bridge (or the "new" Tappan Zee" if you will)!
287 is a connector for I-87 hence the name.
i-287 starts at the border of Woodbridge and Perth Amboy
I'm pretty sure it starts in Edison, at the interchange with I-95/NJTP
How the heck that you pronounced Worcester correcorrectly only locals do mostly
Ehhhh he said wor-ster not wu-ster. The r isn’t pronounced
Wuhstah
Wooster. Or wuhstah
I actually got to see my house at one point in the video
Oooooohhhhhhh BEAVER ♥️
What about 376 near Pittsburgh?
u forgot about 885 277 and 140 in nc
What about 840 in the Nashville area.
How about I-275 in Detroit why isn’t it I-175
Because I-275 in Detroit was supposed to rejoin I-75 in the Clarkston/Davisburg/Holly area, but NIMBY's cut that off at I-96/696
A bypass, beltway, or loop is not a spur. A spur does not reconnect with the road where it originates.
But they can be there are exceptions
....some spurs also function as a bypass, usually in conjunction with state routes to serve as a bypass
@@truckercowboyed2638 Spur is the wrong term for bypass, beltway, and loop roads. The language is concise.

Hi, Bostonian here. wtf is "Werrrrrster?"

I love I287!!
I love 696, u can really get from the east to west side of metro detroit super fast everyone goes about 80-90, and its kinda underground so i like the feeling of going fast under the tunnels.
But in detroit since most of the highways are dug into the ground we get flooded major road ways often in metro detroit ive seen it get wild.
I-94 and 96 in Detroit are the route designations, not the suggested speed limit, lol
Going the posted speed limit on a Detroit freeway even in the far right lane can get you run over...And the service drives are not one continuous road either

Oof. Calling a I-275 a spur is just awful. 3DIs that start with an even number cannot be spurs, they're bypass or loop routes Unless you're Pennsylvania and decide to build I-476 as one long quarter loop bypass and then run the rest of it due north.
Love the fact that you started with a map of I-469. That’s my home man!
