*Fun
Fact 1: US 41 in Indiana was featured in the famous crop duster scene in the
1959 Alfred Hitchcock film North by Northwest, although the scene was
actually filmed in Bakersfield, California.
**Fun
Fact 2: Prior to 2018 I-275 was the only auxiliary interstate that entered 3
states. However, I-275 lost that designation in 2018 when I-295 in Delaware
and New Jersey was extended into Pennsylvania.
**Fun
Fact 3: I-275 is the longest beltway with an Interstate highway designation.
It is the third longest beltway behind the Sam Houston Tollway and the Grand
Parkway encircling Metro Houston.
