Numbering considerations[edit]

After Popular Bluff it would still be south of 44, so how would it follow the number rules? Tulsaschoolboard 22:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I-24 is a guide (another West-East numbered interstate that crosses multiple West-East interstates), the numbering point that matters is apprently the planned eastern termination point. (I-24 fits into the schema from Nashville to Chatt. but not west of Nashville) Jon (talk) 22:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VA-DC I-66 vs this I-66[edit]

Is this an extension of the current Interstate 66, or is this a different Interstate that just has the same number? The lead says "The U.S. Department of Transportation had plans to extend Interstate 66" implying that this is a extension of I-66, but the "Route description" section says "No direct connection is currently planned between there and the unrelated Interstate 66 in Virginia and the District of Columbia" implying that this a different Interstate that has the same number.

I believe the idea was that it was supposed to be connected, but the plans changed when Virginia expressed a lack of interest in connecting the two sections. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 20:14, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why the word "unrelated" was there. Each state is/was planning to build their segment of I-66 within their own respective borders, meaning that the western expansion of I-66 would be built piecemeal in various stages. Because there is now no direct connection currently being planned, this would result in non-contiguous segments, similar to what Interstate 76, Interstate 84 and Interstate 86 have now.
