Interstate 74 (I-74) is an Interstate Highway in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. Its western end is at an intersection with Interstate 80 in Davenport, Iowa; the eastern end of its Midwest segment is at an intersection with Interstate 75 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It also exists as several other disconnected sections of highways in North Carolina (see details); also see List of gaps in Interstate Highways. This I-74 will not connect to the Interstate 74 that ends in Cincinnati, Ohio, unless West Virginia and Ohio decide to build and upgrade their sections.
Interstate 74 is the only interstate to overlap with a US Route sharing the same numerical identification, which it does with U.S. Route 74 in North Carolina. By design, this is rare because interstates and US routes are numbered in order from opposite ends of the country, and duplicate numbers are avoided, so there is no Interstate 50 or Interstate 60.

Famous quotes containing the word interstate:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
