It's paid for with federal funds, thus it's part of the federal interstate
highway system. It's no different from Interstate 405 in California: It
begins in LA and ends in San Diego -- it never leaves the state yet it's
yet it's still an "interstate."


3 digit numbered Interstate highways are usually short spurs
and circle routes. Built to bypass cities drivers are not
looking to stop in, or to connect to other Interstate or
local highways. The numbering pattern is NXX, where XX
is the number of a long Interstate highway, and N to
give each spur or circle its own name inside the same
state. Circles usually get even numbered Ns, and spurs
odd numbered Ns. Also odd numbered XX Interstates usually run
north/south, and even numbered XX Interstates east/west.
They put the low numbered XX Interstates in the southwest,
as the Northeast had the low numbered old US route roads
(cuts down on user confusion). AFAIK, there's no Interstate
666, Bible Belters would think it was the "Highway to hell" ;-)
Or an Interstate 13....
