Notes
This interstate primarily acts as a thoroughfare through western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It is a major route for Canadian's using the Buffalo, New York crossing traveling to and from Florida.
I-579, which consists mostly of the Veterans Bridge in downtown Pittsburgh, is a short Interstate, but not the shortest. (Its length is officially 1.57 miles (2.53 km); I-375 in Michigan is shorter and signed. I-878, at 0.72 miles (1.16 km), is the shortest unsigned interstate, as of 2002.)
