Interstate 75

Shield for Interstate 75

**Interstate 75** is a major north-south freeway in Innistrad.

## History

### Original construction

I-75 was built as a new alignment for Voldaren Highway 71 that bypassed Deep Cut to the southeast. Originally meant to be simply Highway 71, it got an upgrade to I-75 when a spur that wasn't part of Highway 71 was built in downtown SimpleFlips.

The original segment of I-75 was built in a few parts. First, Highway 71 dualized on the spot between Deep Cut and SimpleFlips. Then, the new freeway between Deep Cut and Havre-aux-Maisons was built, which lined up with Pont de Havre-aux-Maisons, I-269, and thus replaced it. This resulted in the complete decommissioning of Highway 71.

### Extension to L'Étang-du-Ouest

*Main article: Business Loop 75A*

The old Pont de Havre-aux-Maisons saw unfit for I-75, as it dumped everyone onto I-69, resulting in major congestion on that interstate between I-75 and I-40. Thus, most of the old Pont was demolished (except for a segment preserved for history), and work on a Havre-aux-Maisons bypass began.

First, old Highway 71 was dualized between a point just west of I-55 to what was then I-44 (now I-81). This led in a gap in I-75, but not a signed gap, as the Interstate was signed along old Highway 71, then I-69, then I-40, then back on old Highway 71, making a very rare case of an Interstate highway being signed on a two-lane road. This wouldn't last long, however, as the gap was filled soon enough.

### Extension to Grosse-Île and beyond

The stub end of I-75 in downtown SimpleFlips didn't remain for long either. It would start being extended south, first to I-869. Once again, a gap in the freeway was created when Voldaren Highway 77 was dualized on the spot from where it met I-75 to Grosse-Île. That gap also got filled.

As I-75 got extended to Grosse-Île, Highway 77 was soon to be on the chopping block, and when I-75 got extended further south to I-24, 77 was decommissioned south of where it met I-75 south of SimpleFlips.

Then, I-75 got extended even further south, to Bad Apple!! via a concurrency with I-24, eliminating I-324 in the process.
