  Interstate 45 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 45 (abbreviated I-45 or in Texas IH-45) is an intrastate interstate highway located entirely within the state of Texas, United States.
I-45 is not only an intrastate Interstate, but is also the shortest major Interstate (ending in 0 or 5).
I-45 is also the longest intrastate Interstate not to touch any state or national borders (Interstate 87 in New York is longer, but reaches the Canadian border).

 Interstate 10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 10 (abbreviated I-10 or in Texas IH-10) is the southernmost east-west, coast-to-coast interstate highway in the United States.
Interstate 10 is often viewed as the "loneliest interstate highway in America," since it passes through some of the most desolate regions in the nation.
Interstate 12 between Baton Rouge, Louisiana and I-59 near the Louisiana/Mississippi state line is actually a shorter route than I-10 between the two adjoining points, since I-10 dips to the south to go through New Orleans.

Old U.S. Until 1988, U.S. 75 was still commissioned parallel to Interstate 45 from Dallas south to Galveston.
