fxfymn Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I have been traveling back and forth to Charleston SC over the last few weeks using I-295 around Richmond, and extremely rough piece of interstate highway which got me to thinking; What is the roughest stretch of interstate highway in the country? To be fair I think we need to eliminate the Cross Bronx stretch of I-95 since this is so obvious a choice.My vote is I-10 across Miss. with the aforementioned I-295 a close second.

Rob Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 "Hillary Clinton Parkway" also known as I-40 between Little Rock, and Ft. Smith Arkansas.That's a rough bitch.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

jaysm35a2 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I 2nd , I -295. I have driven it in a B61 s/a with spring rear end and no load. Its sucks. I now just go I 95 through Richmond.My 1st choice is I-40 after Greensboro , NC heading west torwards Hickory , NC. I actually broke something off getting slammed on that highway.

Underdog Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 KY I-71 north of the speedway to the I-75 split used to knock your teeth out, but it is finally under repair. ( I will put up with the traffic delays; I am glad to see the road being fixed.)My current favorite worst interstate is a joint effort involving PA and NY I-81 between Scranton and Syracuse.Gregg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21834-what-is-the-roughest-interstate-hwy/#findComment-92396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Someone should make a map of ones to avoid , I went clear around the section of I 40 in NC by going the SC wayThat is one of the reasons I posted this. My fifth wheel camper has a rear kitchen design that really takes a beating on washboard interstates. Since I am rarely in a hurry to get anywhere I don't mind going out of the way to avoid a really rough stretch of road.

mackmixer Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I 59 north and south bound lanes just above Gadsden AL going to Chattanooga TN is a washboard for 20 or 30 miles. The north bound lanes are now closed and are slowly being completely removed and rebuilt. Then the state will do the south bound ones. It is really rough when you have a trailer.
