(Redirected from I-75)
'Interstate 75' (abbreviated 'I-75') is a north / south
interstate highway in the midwest and southeastern
United States. It travels from
State Road 826 (Palmetto Expressway) and
State Road 924 (Gratigny Parkway) in
Hialeah,
Florida (just west of
Miami) to
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, at the
Ontario,
Canada border.
History
This limited access highway planned in the
1950s roughly follows the general route of many older at grade highways, including
U.S. Route 2,
U.S. Route 27,
U.S. Route 25, and
U.S. Route 41, among others. Some of these older U.S. Routes (several of which are still in existence) in turn replaced the eastern route of the old
Dixie Highway. The final stretch of Interstate 75 was completed in
1986 in
Dade (present Miami-Dade) and
Broward Counties in
Florida, although the last stretch to receive the I-75 signage was a revamped
Alligator Alley in
1993.
