Last I checked, Utah was west of Ohio. I-76 picks up again at the corner of Colorado sticking into Nebraska, and gets to Denver. I think it's dormant between Ohio and Nebraska, absorbed into I-80. However, even if it is considered to exist in the dormant part, it's not obvious whether it's longer than I-70 (I'm too lazy to count miles). I thought there used to be a rule that 2-digit numbers couldn't be repeated, but I-84 is another example--big gap from Scranton to near Salt Lake City. -Neal Plotkin nplotkin@mitre.org MITRE Corporation (703) 883-7167 7525 Colshire Dr McLean VA 22102
