Can anyone name a single other location in the country where a major interstate drops down to one lane?

Yes... in San Antonio, when I-10 goes from the northwest dual alignment with I-35 to going east at the US90 interchange. The ramp for I-10 travelers going from El Paso to Houston is only 1 lane.

Also, when I was driving to Omaha, I-35 went down to one lane twice and I-70 once in downtown Kansas City. Traffic wasn't backed up, but speed limit was 40 or 45 on those 1950s designed freeways.
