What's the worst stretch of highway in America?

[bif]

I'd have to say it's I-96 westbound between downtown Detroit and Middlebelt Road. I drive it every day and it's littered with more chuckholes per mile than any stretch of road I've ever been on. I'm just amazed when I make it in to work without suffering a blowout.

1. Actually, the Annual U.S. Spring Thaw Pothole Festival

is held on Route 9 north in Woodbridge, New Jersey.

2. I-44 from St. Louis into Texas.

I've driven to Dallas from Central Illinois a few times...and sorry, Oklahoma DU'ers....but that stretch of highway is the worst.

18. Are they still tearing up

I35/I40/I44 interchange? I lived in OKC for five years, and they were working on it the whole time. I remember being told then, that the work had been going on for years already.

3. I-25 just south of Denver near the Tech Center.

Governor B.O. wants to widen it, but we need another lightrail line down that way. Fortunately they are building one.

4. I-10 through west Texas

NOTHING there, no scenery, no towns , even no offramps!

10. I take that road on the way back

from deer hunting. It is 8 miles longer that way but there is a family owned cafe in Junction, Tx called Izaak's. It is the best breakfast diner I have ever been in. 3 over easy, ham, hash browns, toast, and coffee for $4.50. You get a lot and it is perfect every time. They have a homemade hot sauce that is superb.

12. Are you kidding? !-10 out west is MUCH more scenic that I-35 near Laredo!

The South Texas area is just an ugly eyesore. West Texas is far more scenic!

5. Them Hainesville Woods - up in northern Maine

Tombstone every mile...

7. Route 3 in the Boston Suburbs

Route 3 north of Boston is two lanes of hell that stretches from 128 (95) to Southern New Hampshire. They are currently widening it.

Route 3 South of the city is often jammed with traffic in the summer, as it is the only way to Cape Cod for us city folks.

Then there is the Southeast Expressway, and 128, which are their own kind of hell, especially if you enjoy sitting in traffic for hours on end.

16. Oh yeah.

ICK. I concur.

[XNASA]

8. Two doozies. TX HWY 225 through Pasadena.......

And I-90 through Gary Indiana.

Blech.

[bearfan454]

11. 80-94 sucks too especially near Kline Avenue.

I lived in Merrillville a long time ago.

14. I-40

If you've driven through Oklahoma on this sham of a road, you know what I'm talking about. It SUCKS.

19. You know, I-40 gets even worse once

you get into Arkansas, especially once you get close the Little Rock.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

15. I-95 from new jeresy turnpike all the way to boston ...a fucking washboard

[LynzM]

17. I-95 sucks in there

Especially with the whole bridge meltdown last week, where 120,000 people usually commute. YUCK.
