Highway 100

Other than the disgusting one above, Highway 100 is a major freeway connecting I-494, Minnesota State Highway 62, I-394 and I-694 in the Minneapolis area. The freeway portion will soon be all freeway between I-494 and I-694 due to recent construction.

I drove up Highway 100 with The Beatles in full blast.

Stairway to Heaven

A song released by Led Zeppelin in the early 1970s. It is the greatest song that ever came into this world. Not to mention a great stress reducer.

I like listening to Stairway to Heaven a lot on long road trips because it removes driving stress.

Interstate 394

A 3-digit spur route off I-94 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It connects 4th St/Washington Ave/3rd St (the actual end of the freeway is uncertain to me) to I-494. It is about 10 miles long. Between State Highway 100 and Interstate 94, there is a "high occupancy vehicle" lane which in the morning rush hour is used for eastbound traffic and in the afternoon rush hour is used for westbound traffic.

This is like my favorite freeway number of all time. The interchange with I-94 sucks and needs to be reconstructed though.

Interstate 76 (Western)

One of two interstate highways with the "76" designation (the other being in Ohio and Pennsylvania with about 3 miles of Jersey mixed in), this is an extremely boring nowhere freeway. Its sole purpose is connecting Denver to Chicago and Omaha (via Interstate 80).

It runs from Interstate 80 at Big Springs, Nebraska, through absolute nothingness for 180 miles, and then ends at Interstate 70 in Denver with NO WARNING. Without knowing it, you are now on Interstate 70, heading west towards the potentially dangerous Rocky Mountains.

"Well, kids, here's Interstate 76!"

"zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

"Only 186 miles to Denver!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Fish Lake Interchange

The interchange of I-94, I-494, and I-694 in Maple Grove, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. The interchange marks the western ends of both I-494 and I-694. Often congested on eastbound I-94 in the mornings, sometimes too early to be imagining traffic jams like that.

I-94 East is jammed up from the Fish Lake Interchange to 95th Ave.

Wanna take US 10 instead?

You bet.

Interstate 80 Iowa

300 miles of...farms, smelly farms, corn, even smellier farms, and...Des Moines...and Davenport too.

Features a 73-mile branch route in I-380. Most branch routes are relatively short.

Also has a 14-mile overlap with I-35 in Des Moines.

A driver on I-80 in Iowa passed out from the smell of nearby farms.
