Notes

• Interstate 94 is the only east-west interstate to form a direct connection into Canada (no such interstate ends at the Mexican border). At Port Huron, I-94 crosses the Blue Water Bridge into Sarnia, Ontario and becomes ON Provincial Route 402, which can be used by motorists going to Toronto.
• Through much of Michigan, Interstate 94 follows the route of Old U.S. Highway 12.
• Through North Dakota, Interstate 94 follows the route once taken by U.S. Highway 10 west from Fargo.
• Interstate 494 was originally planned to serve as a loop in Chicago and follow Lake Shore Drive along Lake Michigan. After local opposition prevented I-494 from being completed, the number was completely dropped. Portions of the old I-494 exist as US 41/Lake Shore Drive.
• The I-494/I-694 loop in the Twin Cities has a speed limit of 60 mph in most places. All highways within the loop are 55 mph, and Minnesota highways outside the loop can go up to 65 mph; 70 mph if they are Interstate highways.
• 40 miles north of the Twin Cities near Otsego, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) operates the Mn/ROAD research facility, which studies the effect of traffic on various road surface types. Westbound traffic is redirected onto 3.5 miles of pavement outfitted with thousands of sensors. There is a straight-through bypass (the original highway) that can be used when researchers are examining the road up close.
