Other Possibilities for Interstate 3 Designation

In California, CALTRANS has been upgrading US-101 to freeway standards between Los Angeles and San Francisco over the past 40 years. It is possible that the I-3 designation may be applied to this stretch of Highway 101 once it is completely upgraded to Interstate standards. Otherways, it might also be designated as Interstate 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.155.123 (talk) 23:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there is documented proof for the California use of I-3, I'd suggest leaving it out; especially since the Georgia use of I-3 is written into formal government legislation. --Mhking 23:52, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to disagree with you Mr. King. The actual language is on the www.fhwa... website and it does not use the phrase "I-3". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.135.29.180 (talk) 14:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I see too. It did not mention the designation, just the routing. However, there is no logical odd number available, apart from a southern extension of I-81 (with an I-75 multiplex). Being a diagonal route, an even number could work, but I-18 is the only one that would fit there, and that may come into use later (perhaps US-82 from I-69/Greenville to I-85/Montgomery?).

Mentioning the possibility of its eventual number being 18 or 81 (which are cited from interstate-guide) might be useful, whether or not the west coast ultimately asks for I-3 for US 101 or some other route, because of the way the grid works. The idea of using 81 is interesting, although it would result in a three-route multiplex with I-75 and I-40 between the existing interchanges with I-75 and I-140 on I-40. There are other possibilities still out there as well; 32, 34, 36 or 38 (the route is entirely south of I-40, after all). 76.91.72.143 (talk) 06:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Interstate protocol has the lower numbered odd highways in the far west of the continental U.S. Yet this article refers to plans to site an interstate designated Interstate 3 in the Southeast of the United States. This is most baffling. Some explanation, pleaseDogru144 (talk) 00:33, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The number 3 is derived from the highway being named after the Third Infantry Division, just as I-14, a part of the same bill, is named after the Fourteenth Amendment. Mellophonius (talk) 01:31, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your Corrections

Thank you for correcting my link to "Appalachian Mountains". However, why did you remove the "cn" template? Allen (talk) 02:04, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Interstate 3 not a extension of Interstate 81?

Why is Interstate 3 not a extension of Interstate 81? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.81.43 (talk) 19:58, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was assigned through legislation, specifically from SAFETEA-LU. --WashuOtaku (talk) 20:04, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Route Cancelled?

I saw the change on GA SR 21 article that I-3 is now a failed proposal. Is the route cancelled? 2600:1005:B0BC:E77E:A9C8:9A86:C410:1869 (talk) 14:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
