Pennsylvania Route 272 (PA 272) is a 54.7-mile (88.0 km) state highway located in southeastern Pennsylvania, primarily serving Lancaster County. The route begins at the Maryland state line in East Drumore Township, where it continues south as Maryland Route 272 (MD 272). From there, it runs northward through rural areas and small towns, including Wakefield and Buck, before reaching the city of Lancaster.

Within Lancaster, PA 272 shares a short concurrency with U.S. Route 222 (US 222) and passes through both residential and commercial districts. North of the city, it separates from US 222 and continues as a parallel route to the US 222 freeway, serving suburban communities and providing access to local businesses.

The highway continues through towns such as Ephrata, Adamstown, and Denver, intersecting several major routes, including US 222 Business, PA 772, and PA 897. It eventually enters Berks County and terminates at an interchange with US 222 in the vicinity of Adamstown.

PA 272 plays an important role as a regional connector, serving both local traffic and as an alternate route to the US 222 expressway. It passes through a mix of farmland, residential neighborhoods, and commercial corridors, reflecting the diverse landscape of southeastern Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Route 271 (PA 271) is a north–south state highway located in Western Pennsylvania, covering parts of Cambria and Indiana counties. The route spans approximately 34 miles, beginning at an intersection with U.S. Route 30 (US 30) in Ligonier Township, near the community of Westmoreland Furnace, and extending northward to its terminus at U.S. Route 219 (US 219) in Northern Cambria.

The road travels through a mix of rural areas, small towns, and boroughs, connecting communities such as Seward, Johnstown, and Nanty Glo. In Johnstown, PA 271 serves as a significant urban thoroughfare, passing through neighborhoods and providing access to local streets and businesses. It briefly overlaps with PA 56 in the city, navigating through downtown and crossing the Stonycreek River.

Outside of Johnstown, the highway moves through more residential and agricultural landscapes. It intersects several major routes along its path, including PA 403 and PA 553, facilitating regional travel. The route is characterized by a variety of settings, from wooded hills and farmland to densely populated boroughs.

PA 271 is primarily a two-lane road, with some sections widened to accommodate urban traffic. It plays an important role in local transportation, connecting several key points across Western Pennsylvania while also serving as a feeder route to larger highways like US 30 and US 219.

U.S. Route 27 is a north–south highway that runs through the Southern and Midwestern U.S., starting all the way down in Miami, Florida, and ending in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where it meets up with I-69. From Miami, it cuts up through central Florida, swings west over to Tallahassee, and then heads north through a bunch of cities and towns like Columbus and Rome in Georgia, Chattanooga in Tennessee, Lexington and other parts of Kentucky, Cincinnati and Oxford in Ohio, then into Indiana through Richmond before ending in Fort Wayne. It used to go even farther north into Michigan—through Lansing and up to Cheboygan and Mackinaw City—and for a short time, it even stretched all the way to St. Ignace.

In Florida, the highway is named the Claude Pepper Memorial Highway, in honor of the longtime U.S. Senator and Representative. The part from Miami to South Bay was earlier named the Thomas E. Will Memorial Highway, named after the guy who helped push for the road to be built near Lake Okeechobee. Almost all of US 27 in Florida is a divided highway.

The route starts as North 36th Street in Miami, heading west for about 4.4 miles, then swings northwest and follows South Okeechobee Road, running along the Miami Canal and past the edge of Hialeah. After passing major interchanges with SR 826 (Palmetto Expressway) and the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike (SR 821), it keeps heading northwest and eventually curves north into Broward County. There, it runs alongside wetlands and powerlines on one side and suburbs like Pembroke Pines and Weston on the other. It hits I-75 and Alligator Alley before curving northwest toward Lake Okeechobee and South Bay.

From there, it hugs the lake’s southwest shore, turns west at Clewiston, then heads north through Moore Haven and continues through Lake Placid, Sebring, Avon Park, and Lake Wales. In Polk County, the highway is being widened to six lanes in spots, with sections like SR 60 to SR 540 in Lake Wales and from SR 542 in Dundee to north of I-4 in Davenport already done.

North of I-4, it hits unnumbered interchanges with US 192, CR 474 in Four Corners, SR 50 in Clermont, and SR 19 near Howey-in-the-Hills, where it connects with Florida’s Turnpike. Later, it joins with US 441 in Leesburg and with US 301 in Belleview before splitting off again in Ocala. After Williston, it runs with US 41 up to High Springs, where US 41 merges with US 441. US 27 then heads west toward Perry and joins US 19 until it splits off again in Capps. In Tallahassee, the road becomes the Apalachee Parkway, a major route through the city that starts in front of the Florida State Capitol and runs past the Governor’s Square mall and a bunch of government buildings. Once past Tallahassee, it curves northwest again and continues into Georgia through Havana and Amsterdam.

In Georgia, US 27 is named the Martha Berry Highway, after the founder of Berry College in Rome. It’s part of the GRIP (Governor’s Road Improvement Program) and is being upgraded to a four-lane divided highway from the Florida line all the way to Tennessee. US 27 runs the whole way with Georgia State Route 1. Around Chattanooga, a section used to be called I-124, though you won’t see signs for it anymore. This stretch is also known as Corridor J in the Appalachian Development Highway System, running from Chattanooga to London, Kentucky.

Between Chattanooga and Harriman, US 27 travels through a valley between the Tennessee River and the Cumberland Plateau, with the ridge often visible to the west. The highway passes through Soddy-Daisy, where it intersects SR 111, then through towns like Sale Creek, Graysville, and Dayton. In Dayton, it connects with SR 30 and SR 60, then continues through Evensville and Spring City, where it intersects SR 68. Moving into Roane County, it shares the road with US 70 through Rockwood, then runs with SR 61 through Harriman, crossing I-40. This part is also called the Harvey H. Hannah Memorial Highway. After Harriman, the road climbs the plateau and continues north across it.

In Morgan County, US 27 passes through Wartburg and Sunbright. At Elgin, it connects with SR 52, then continues through Robbins, Huntsville, Helenwood, and into Oneida in Scott County. There, it intersects SR 297, which leads into the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. After a few more miles and a sharp left turn through downtown Oneida, it passes through Winfield and crosses into Kentucky near Isham.

Once in Kentucky, US 27 hits towns like Whitley City, Somerset, Stanford, Lancaster, and Nicholasville before reaching Lexington, where it runs with US 68 up to Paris. After that, it heads north through Cynthiana, Falmouth, Alexandria, Cold Spring, Highland Heights, Fort Thomas, Southgate, and Newport before crossing the Ohio River into Cincinnati via the Taylor–Southgate Bridge. From Highland Heights to much of Campbell County, and in some parts south of Lexington, US 27 is a four-lane highway. It also has four lanes near Lake Cumberland.

In Ohio, US 27 crosses into downtown Cincinnati via the Taylor–Southgate Bridge. It runs along streets like Mehring Way, Central Avenue, and Ezzard Charles Drive, and overlaps briefly with I-75 and I-74 before heading northwest on Colerain Avenue. It goes through Oxford and reaches the Indiana border near College Corner. In total, US 27 runs for about 41 miles in Ohio—almost half in Hamilton County and the rest in Butler County.

In Indiana, the route enters just south of Liberty and heads north, staying close to the Ohio state line. It hits I-70 in Richmond and continues to Decatur, where US 33 joins in. The two run together northwest to I-469 near Fort Wayne. US 33 splits off along I-469, while US 27 heads into downtown Fort Wayne on Clinton Street. After downtown, it follows Lima Road until it ends at I-69 and US 30. From there, Lima Road continues north as State Road 3.

U.S. Highway 26 is an east–west route that runs all the way from Seaside, Oregon, to Ogallala, Nebraska. When it was first created, it only ran through Nebraska and Wyoming, but by the 1950s, it had been extended into Idaho and Oregon. These days, it starts near Seaside where it meets up with US 101 and ends at I-80 in Ogallala. Before 2004, the last stretch of the road used to be signed with US 101 up to Astoria, where it met US 30—back then, that was also the western end of US 30.

A lot of US 26 follows the path of the old Oregon Trail. At its longest, just before the Interstate system took over, it ran about 1,557 miles and ended in Astoria. Starting out from the junction with US 101 near Seaside, the highway goes southeast through Oregon’s Coast Range toward Portland. On the west side of Portland, US 26 turns into a freeway called the Sunset Highway. After going through the Vista Ridge Tunnels into downtown, it briefly joins I-405, then hops onto surface streets by the river and meets up with OR 43 at Macadam Avenue. From there, it crosses I-5, then the Willamette River, and has an incomplete interchange with OR 99E. After that, US 26 continues east as Powell Boulevard, crosses I-205, and heads toward Sandy on what’s now called the Mount Hood Highway. That stretch was supposed to be the Mount Hood Freeway, but it was never built.

Once you get past Sandy, US 26 keeps going toward Government Camp and Bennett Pass, where it meets up with OR 35. OR 35 continues north, but US 26 heads southeast toward Madras, where it intersects with US 97. From there, it continues through Prineville, then east through John Day and into Vale, where it joins US 20. From Vale, the two routes stick together all the way to the Idaho border.

Crossing into Idaho, US 26 keeps running with US 20 all the way to Boise, sharing the road for a bit with US 95 near Parma and I-84 in Caldwell. In Boise, US 26 and US 20 both merge with I-84 for about 40 miles until they get to Mountain Home. At that point, US 20 splits off, but US 26 keeps going with I-84 for another 41 miles until it reaches Bliss, where it separates and joins US 93 in Shoshone. All three—US 20, 26, and 93—come together again in Carey and pass by the north edge of Craters of the Moon National Monument. After that, US 93 heads north in Arco, while US 26 splits from US 20 near Idaho National Lab and heads southeast to Blackfoot. There, it jumps on I-15 for about 20 miles before splitting off just south of Idaho Falls and heading toward Alpine, Wyoming.

In Wyoming, US 26 joins up with US 89 heading east and then north to Hoback Junction. From there, it runs with US 89, US 189, and US 191 through Jackson and Grand Teton National Park all the way to Moran. Along this stretch, you can catch a view of Teton Glacier from Glacier View Turnout. At Moran, US 26 turns east again, sticking with US 287. It crosses the Continental Divide at Togwotee Pass, then rolls through Dubois and ends the scenic stretch known as the Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway. At Diversion Dam Junction, US 26 and US 287 go their separate ways, with US 26 heading southeast to Riverton and then northeast to Shoshoni.

From Shoshoni to Casper, US 26 runs together with US 20. There’s a bypass north of Casper that includes a stretch of I-25 and US 87. From there, US 20/26/87 parallels I-25 up to Glenrock. East of Glenrock, the highway joins I-25 for a bit before breaking off again at Dwyer Junction to continue east along the old Oregon Trail route. It goes through towns like Guernsey, Fort Laramie, Lingle, and Torrington before crossing into Nebraska. Between Lingle and Torrington, US 85 joins the route too.

In Nebraska, US 26 runs southeast alongside the North Platte River. The biggest town it hits is Scottsbluff, which is just about 22 miles from the Wyoming border. The highway also goes by Chimney Rock National Historic Site. It meets US 385 in Bridgeport and finally ends at I-80 in Ogallala. There are just over 150 miles of US 26 running through Nebraska.

U.S. Route 25, or Highway 25, is a north-south highway running about 750 miles through the Southern and Midwestern U.S. It starts down in Brunswick, Georgia, and heads mostly north through cities like Augusta, GA; Greenville, SC; and Asheville, NC. Once it hits Newport, Tennessee, it splits into two separate routes—US 25W and US 25E—which meet back up in North Corbin, Kentucky. From there, it continues through Richmond and Lexington before ending at the Ohio state line in Covington, KY.

The highway is an important way to cross the Appalachian Mountains and is actually part of three corridors within the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS). When it was first set up back in 1926, US 25 ran all the way from North Augusta, SC, up to Port Huron, Michigan. The southern part was extended to Brunswick in 1936, and the northern end was shortened in 1974.

Starting in Brunswick, US 25 goes northwest to Jesup, then heads northeast to Ludowici. From there, it generally travels north through Statesboro, Millen, Waynesboro, and finally Augusta, where it crosses the Savannah River into South Carolina. The road that led south from Augusta was once called the “Southeastern Plank Road” and later became known as Peach Orchard Road, which is still used in Richmond County today. That old plank road likely connected to another historic route that went from Brunswick down to Jacksonville, Florida.

These days, most of US 25 is a four-lane highway. Once it enters South Carolina at North Augusta, it heads through towns like Edgefield, Greenwood, and Greenville, then moves north at Travelers Rest up to the North Carolina state line. Most of this stretch is also four-lane, with parts built to expressway standards.

In North Carolina, US 25 becomes a freeway at Tuxedo in Henderson County and stays that way for about nine miles until it meets up with I-26/US 74 near East Flat Rock. It splits off again near Fletcher and travels through Arden, Biltmore Forest, and downtown Asheville before reconnecting with I-26 near Woodfin. At Weaverville, it joins up with US 70 and heads northwest through Marshall and Hot Springs into Tennessee.

Once it enters Tennessee, US 25 stays with US 70 and State Route 9 through the Bald Mountains and over the French Broad River via the Wolf Creek Bridge. It briefly hugs the river before crossing it again and leaving Cherokee National Forest. In Newport, it becomes Broadway Street through town, and on the west side of the city, US 25 splits into US 25E and US 25W.

US 25E runs about 113 miles from Newport to North Corbin, passing through places like White Pine, Morristown, Bean Station, Tazewell, and Harrogate in Tennessee. It enters Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap Tunnel and hits Middlesboro and Barbourville before meeting back up with US 25W in North Corbin. There’s also a short connector from US 25E to I-75 there.

US 25W runs about 146 miles from Newport to North Corbin, heading west to Dandridge and Knoxville, then northwest through Clinton. From there, it runs near or alongside I-75 through Caryville, Jacksboro, LaFollette, and Jellico before crossing into Kentucky. It goes through Williamsburg and downtown Corbin before rejoining US 25E in North Corbin.

Once the two routes merge back into US 25, it continues north, mostly parallel with I-75, connecting cities like London, Berea, Richmond, Lexington, and Dry Ridge. It finally ends in Covington, Kentucky, at the Ohio state line on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge, where US 42 and US 127 continue into Cincinnati.

US 25 is part of three corridors in the Appalachian Development Highway System, a network created in 1965 to help boost the economy in remote areas, connect the Appalachian region to the Interstate system, and make it easier to reach markets across the country.

Pennsylvania Route 268 (PA 268) is a 35-mile-long (56 km) state highway that is located in Armstrong, Butler, and Venango counties in Pennsylvania.The southern terminus is situated at U.S. Route 422 (US 422) in West Kittanning. The northern terminus is located at PA 38/PA 208 in Emlenton.

PA 268 goes by many names along its route. The names along the route include Kittanning to Butler County Line Road, Kepples Corner Road, Main Street, Jamison Street, Argyle Street, and School Street.
The route starts just outside the borough of West Kittanning at an interchange with US 422. The route goes east into town before turning northwest towards the Armstrong/Butler County line, passing through a few small villages along the way.

The route continues northwest to an intersection with PA 68 outside the town of Chicora. The route then winds north through several boroughs, including Karns City, Petrolia, and Bruin. The route then heads northeast reentering Armstrong County.
The route heads back into Armstrong County, entering the city of Parker, going east for a very short distance before paralleling the Allegheny River for the rest of its route. While still in town, the route intersects with PA 368, where it terminates.

Further north on route, there is another intersection with PA 58 in Hovey Township, across the river from the borough of Foxburg. The route then heads northwest, crossing into Butler County again for a very short distance to the Butler/Venango County line.
The route continues for a very short distance, passing under I-80. The route then terminates in the borough of Emlenton, at an intersection with PA 38/208.

The route has, for the most part, stayed on the same roads for its entire existence, with the exception of the southern terminus. The original southern terminus was in the town of West Kittanning with US 422 when that route passed through the town. When the Kittanning bypass was built, the terminus was moved to its current location.

Pennsylvania Route 267 (PA 267) is a state highway in northeastern Pennsylvania that stretches for approximately 30.78 miles (49.54 kilometers) through Wyoming and Susquehanna counties. The southern end of the route begins at U.S. Route 6 (US 6) in the borough of Meshoppen. From there, the highway heads north, passing through mostly rural and wooded areas, along with farmland and small communities. It intersects with several local roads and provides access to residential areas and local services.

As it continues northward, PA 267 runs through the borough of Lawton and crosses PA 706. The route proceeds through scenic countryside before reaching its northern terminus at the New York state line in Choconut Township. Beyond the state line, the roadway continues as New York State Route 26 (NY 26), which leads further north into Broome County, New York. Throughout its length, PA 267 serves as an important local connector between small towns and rural areas in this part of Pennsylvania.

U.S. Route 24 (or US 24) is one of the original highways from 1926. For most of its length, it runs east to west. It originally stretched from Pontiac, Michigan to Kansas City, Missouri. These days, it goes even farther west, starting near Minturn, Colorado, at I-70, and ending in Independence Township, Michigan, at I-75. Around the Ohio–Michigan state line, it switches from being marked as a north–south road to an east–west one.

In Colorado, US 24 kicks off at the I-70 and US 6 junction near Minturn. It heads southeast through the mountains, over Tennessee Pass, and down to Johnson Village. From there, it links up with US 285 heading north over Trout Creek Pass. After that, it splits off and heads east to Colorado Springs, then continues northeast to Limon. From Limon to the Kansas border, it runs along I-70.

Back in the day, US 24 in Colorado was actually split between two designations—US 40S and US 40N. In 1936, the entire stretch between Grand Junction and the Kansas border became US 24. But the part between Grand Junction and Minturn was dropped from the highway system in 1975.

Crossing into Kansas, US 24 runs with I-70 for about 45 miles until Colby, and then stays separate from I-70 until just before Kansas City. In 2008, it was rerouted to head south with US 73 and meet I-70 west of the city, then continue east into Kansas City. It also runs through cities like Manhattan and along the north sides of Topeka and Lawrence. Historically, the Kansas portion used to be called US 40N until it became US 24 in the 1930s. Between Williamstown and northern Lawrence, it runs with US 59, and from there to Kansas City, it shares the road with US 40.

In Missouri, US 24 goes through Kansas City, Independence, Buckner, Lexington, Waverly, Carrollton, Keytesville, Moberly, Madison, Monroe City, Palmyra, and West Quincy. It shares the road with US 65 across the Missouri River via the Waverly Bridge, with Route 5 in Keytesville, and with US 36 east of Monroe City. It also runs with US 61 from just south of Palmyra to West Quincy—this stretch is part of the Avenue of the Saints. If you’re passing through Independence, you’ll go right by the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum.

As it heads into Illinois, US 24 crosses the Mississippi River at Quincy using two bridges: the Bayview Bridge (westbound) and the Quincy Memorial Bridge (eastbound). From there, it heads northeast to Peoria, roughly following an old stagecoach route. It uses I-474 to bypass Peoria and exits at mile 9. In East Peoria, US 24 runs alongside Illinois Route 116 and US 150 while skirting the Illinois River. Then it continues straight east, following near an old railroad line, passing through a bunch of small towns until it hits Indiana.

Once in Indiana, US 24 heads east across the state to Huntington, where it turns northeast toward Fort Wayne. From there, it runs along I-69 and I-469 to bypass the city, then crosses into Ohio. The stretch between Logansport and Toledo is part of the Hoosier Heartland Industrial Corridor, which aims to support economic development.

In Ohio, the highway follows the Maumee River from the Indiana border toward Toledo. The route is built to Interstate standards between Napoleon and Toledo and runs just north of the river. Near Waterville, it passes the site of the Battle of Fallen Timbers, where General Anthony Wayne defeated a Native American alliance in 1794, opening up northern Ohio to settlers. In north Toledo, US 24 shifts from running northeast to heading straight north on Telegraph Road. The old alignment continues as Detroit Avenue, connecting to M-125 near the Michigan border. US 24 in Toledo actually follows what used to be US 25. After US 25 was removed, parts of it became State Route 25, and the rest was re-designated as US 24.

Crossing into Michigan, US 24 passes through Monroe and then heads into the Detroit area, where it’s known as Telegraph Road. It continues north along the edge of Detroit, running through a major interchange known as the “mixing bowl” (where I-696, M-10, and Lahser Road all come together). From there, it keeps heading north through suburbs like Waterford and Pontiac, then ends at I-75 in Independence Township.

U.S. Route 23 (or US 23) is a long north–south highway that runs from Jacksonville, Florida, all the way up to Mackinaw City, Michigan. It’s one of the original U.S. highways from back in 1926, although it only went as far south as Portsmouth, Ohio, back then. It used to be part of the old Dixie Highway. These days, it starts in downtown Jacksonville at US 1 and US 17 and ends at I-75 up in northern Michigan.

In Jacksonville, US 23 starts out as a one-way pair of streets near Florida State College. It’s also secretly Florida State Road 139 until it connects with US 1 in the northwest part of the city. Once it finishes the one-way part, it becomes Kings Road and heads northwest. After it meets back up with US 1 and State Road 15, the road continues out of the city, passes I-295, and hits Callahan, where it joins up with US 301. The three highways run together toward the Georgia state line, crossing into Georgia near the St. Marys River.

In Georgia, US 23 sticks with US 1 for a while until US 301 splits off in Homeland. From there, US 23 continues as a divided highway toward Waycross, where it meets US 82. North of Alma, it breaks off from US 1 and heads to Hazlehurst, where it joins US 341, known as the Golden Isles Parkway. In McRae, it crosses several highways including US 280, US 319, and US 441. It leaves US 341 in Eastman and hits I-16 near Macon.

Between Eastman and Empire, it’s a two-lane road, then becomes a five-lane with a center turn lane near Cochran. North of Cochran, the road is four lanes until it gets to I-16 near old Camp Wheeler. It winds through Macon as Ocmulgee East Blvd, turns onto Spring Street, crosses the Ocmulgee River, then continues on Riverside Drive. It crosses I-75 a couple more times before heading to Jackson and beyond.

In Henry County, US 23 runs with State Route 42 through Clayton County and metro Atlanta. In that area, it follows Moreland Avenue and rides the Fulton–DeKalb county line. It turns off onto Ponce de Leon Avenue and later joins up with US 29, US 78, and US 278. After that, it heads out of Atlanta via Clairemont Avenue and Buford Highway. Near Buford, it gets on I-985 and later connects with US 129 in Gainesville. When I-985 ends, US 23 keeps going north on State Route 365.

In Cornelia, it meets US 123 and starts following US 441. In Clayton, it crosses US 76. Even though it runs fairly close to I-75 from Macon to Atlanta, it really only connects directly with it in Macon.

In North Carolina, it follows US 441 and later US 74 (the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway), then US 19 through places like Waynesville and Canton. Past Asheville, it runs along I-26 to the Tennessee border.

Once in Tennessee, US 23 stays with I-26 past Johnson City and Kingsport. Just west of Kingsport, I-26 ends and US 23 keeps going into Virginia. It travels 61 miles through southwest Virginia from Weber City to Pound, running through the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. The whole Virginia section is a four-lane divided road known as The Crooked Road—Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail.

US 23 enters Kentucky at Pound Gap near Whitesburg and becomes the “Country Music Highway.” It passes through or near towns connected to stars like Loretta Lynn, Chris Stapleton, and Dwight Yoakam. It joins US 119 near Pikeville, then connects with US 460 and KY 80 before heading through the Pikeville Cut-Through. Eventually, it drops US 119 and KY 80 and continues on its own through Paintsville, Louisa, and Catlettsburg, where it joins US 60 heading into Ashland.

In Ashland, US 23 goes down Wi******er and Greenup Avenues. After passing Ashland Town Center and a few other shopping areas, it leaves the city and heads north near Bellefonte. It rolls past AK Steel’s Ashland Works and into Greenup County, hitting towns like Russell, Flatwoods, Raceland, Wurtland, and South Shore. It then crosses the Ohio River into Portsmouth, Ohio.

In Ohio, most of US 23 is a divided expressway, except in downtown Columbus and a stretch between Carey and US 20 near Perrysburg. From Portsmouth, it passes through Lucasville, Piketon, Waverly, Chillicothe, and Circleville before hitting Columbus. In the city, it follows parts of 4th Street, Summit Street, and Indianola Avenue before getting back on High Street.

It goes through Worthington and Delaware, then becomes a freeway around the north end of Delaware. Near Waldo, it turns into a full freeway again, running through Marion County and continuing with SR 15 for a while until they split at Carey. US 23 then goes through Fostoria and Risingsun, hits US 20, and merges with I-75 near Perrysburg. It follows I-475 around Toledo, passes through Sylvania, and heads into Michigan.

In Michigan, US 23 enters as a freeway and briefly runs with US 223 toward Adrian before continuing north to Ann Arbor. It meets I-94 and loops around the city, then continues north past Brighton (where it connects with I-96), and into the Flint area. From there, it merges with I-75 for about 74 miles, heading toward Saginaw and Bay City.

Just south of Standish, US 23 breaks off from I-75 and heads east, then north along Lake Huron. It passes through Tawas City, Alpena, and Cheboygan before finally ending at I-75 in Mackinaw City, right near the Mackinac Bridge.

U.S. Route 22, or just US 22, is a major east–west highway that’s been around since 1926 as part of the original U.S. Numbered Highway system. It stretches from Cincinnati, Ohio—where it connects with US 27, US 42, US 127, and US 52—all the way to Newark, New Jersey, ending at the Newark Airport Interchange with US 1/9.

In Pennsylvania, most people know it as the William Penn Highway. Over in southwest Ohio, it shares the road with State Route 3 and goes by a few local names like the 3-C Highway, “22 and 3,” or just Montgomery Road. There’s also a stretch in Pennsylvania—from New Alexandria at US 119 to Harrisburg at I-81—that’s part of Corridor M in the Appalachian Development Highway System.

The Matrix is a 1999 American science fiction action film written and directed by the Wachowskis. It stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano. The story follows Thomas Anderson, a computer programmer who lives a double life as a hacker under the alias "Neo." He discovers the truth about the world he lives in: a simulated reality called the Matrix, created by intelligent machines to subdue the human population while using their bodies as an energy source.

Neo is contacted by a group of rebels led by Morpheus, who believes Neo is "the One," a prophesied figure destined to free humanity. With the help of Morpheus and Trinity, Neo learns to navigate and manipulate the Matrix, gaining extraordinary abilities. Together, they battle the agents, powerful programs designed to eliminate threats to the system, particularly Agent Smith.

The film explores philosophical themes such as reality, free will, and identity, drawing inspiration from various sources including cyberpunk literature, mythology, and philosophical ideas from Plato and Descartes. It gained critical acclaim for its innovative visual effects, including the use of bullet time, a technique that allows viewers to see action sequences in extreme slow motion while the camera moves at normal speed.

The Matrix was a commercial success and became a cultural phenomenon, influencing a wide range of media and sparking debates about technology and simulation. It won four Academy Awards in technical categories and launched a franchise that includes three sequels, video games, comic books, and an animated anthology.
