Socorro, NM

Along Primary Interstates: I-25
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): US-60
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None

I-25

From: Truth or Consequences, NM - 72.8 miles
To: Albuquerque, NM - 79.1 miles
Diversion: 1.7 miles
From: Start (Las Cruces, NM) - 151.6 miles
To: Santa Fe, NM - 129 miles

US-60 (Follow the highway)

From: Wickenburg, AZ - 430.3 miles
To: Miner, MO - 1152.8 miles
Diversion: -0.4 miles*
From: Start (I-10 east of Quartzsite, AZ) - 509.4 miles
To: Louisville, KY - 1462.6 miles

Yes! Splits the 150 mile gap between Truth or Consequences, NM and Albuquerque, NM so the largest gap on I-25 will be the 131.5 miles from Trinidad, CO to Colorado Springs, CO.

It's also on US-60.

* Obviously the distances are mismatched, and I couldn't be bothered to redo an old one.

I'm curious if you have a list of the longest gaps remaining on the interstate system, say >140 miles. There aren't too many left!
 
I'm curious if you have a list of the longest gaps remaining on the interstate system, say >140 miles. There aren't too many left!

Note that:
- I've included some gaps that are future Interstate-ish routes like I-69.
- I don't tolerate much diversion, so for example I-35 from Ardmore to Perry, OK is listed because Oklahoma City, OK is over 10 miles diversion and I-55 is listed because of the relic of Tesla's location desperation, Memphis, TN.
- I ignore urban Superchargers.
- Only a few of gaps listed have even identified splitter locations. Haubstadt, IN and Nevada, MO are under construction. Socorro, NM is identified.
- Watertown, SD to Fargo, ND is listed, and Watertown, SD fairly recently split a larger gap on I-29 from Sioux Falls, SD to Fargo, ND.
-Meridian, MS to Birmingham, AL is on an I-20/I-59 concurrency so listed twice

Aside: this is from a worksheet I have that goes down to 100 miles. That list has a total of 122 unsplit gaps. 9 gaps from my original list have been split (including some splits still greater than 100 miles), 8 are under construction and 3 have an identified ("permit") location.
