re: Is I-59 the least traveled interstate in US?

It follows US Hwg 11 which was one of the original major original arteries in the US from New Orleans up to the Northeast. May not be a lot of cars compared to other connections between major cities or along the coast, but there are a significant amount of trucks and commercial vehicles that use it.

otta be tied with I49 between Opelousas and Shreveport. How they justified spending $500 Billion on that is beyond me.
I tend to agree with your premise, but damn I love being able to get from Fort Worth to LSU's campus in like 6.5 hours

Yeah but I notice pretty much everyone here calls it 59. Highway 59/I-69.

I59 from Slidell to Chattanooga is the same except for Birmingham (really I20). I love it.
Once you hit 24 into Chattanooga, it changes quick. Traffic from Atlanta and Nashville makes things much much worse. The triangle between Knoxville, Nashville, and Nooga is roads I absolutely hate to be on. I don't go to Atlanta enough to hate them yet.
I agree, 59 is quite enjoyable though.

Drove it twice last week from Meridian to Laurel then took 84 to Brookhaven and I think I only passed like 5 cars each way, pretty nice drive and beats having to knock fillings out driving through Jackson to hit 55 south.

I love it. When I do get to drive that stretch like this morning, I get to catch up on all my tigerdroppings reading while cruising.

Every interstate highway in or within 80 miles of Atlanta can eat a big bag of dicks.

I-55 from Jackson to Memphis is just awful. There is just nothing there. Nothing. What maybe two rest areas the whole way?????
