History

This limited access highway planned in the 1950s roughly follows the general route of the older at grade United States Highway 27, which in turn replaced the western route of the old Dixie Highway.

Notes

I-75 connects
Canada with the southern tip of Florida. The Alligator Alley section west of Ft. Lauderdale is due east/west.

I-375 in Tampa apparently still exists, but it's so small that maps don't always bother labelling it.

I-475 around Macon is shorter than the main route I-75. The only other examples of this phenonenon (to my knowledge) are I-10 which has two, both in Louisiana; and I-64, which has two of its own in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
