'''Interstate&nbsp;75''' ('''I-75''') is a major north–south [[Interstate Highway System|Interstate Highway]] in the [[Great Lakes region|Great Lakes]] and [[Southeastern United States|Southeastern]] regions of the [[United States]]. As with most Interstates that end in 5, it is a major cross-country, north–south route, traveling from [[Florida State Road 826|State Road&nbsp;826]] (SR&nbsp;826, Palmetto Expressway) and [[Florida State Road 924|SR&nbsp;924]] (Gratigny Parkway) on the [[Hialeah, Florida|Hialeah]]–[[Miami Lakes, Florida|Miami Lakes]] border (northwest of [[Miami|Miami, Florida]]) to [[Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan]], at the [[Canada–United States border|Canadian border]]. It is the second-longest north–south Interstate Highway (after [[Interstate 95|I-95]]) and the seventh-longest Interstate Highway overall.<ref>[https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/g2827/7-of-the-longest-us-interstates/ 7 of the Longest U.S. Interstates That Are Worth the Road Trip] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221226011135/https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/g2827/7-of-the-longest-us-interstates/ |date=December 26, 2022 }}, Popular Mechanics, July 19, 2022</ref>

I-75 passes through six different states. The highway runs the length of the Florida peninsula from the Miami area and up the [[Gulf Coast of the United States|Gulf Coast]] through [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]]. Farther north in Georgia, I-75 continues on through [[Macon, Georgia|Macon]] and [[Atlanta]] before running through [[Chattanooga, Tennessee|Chattanooga]] and [[Knoxville, Tennessee|Knoxville]] and the [[Cumberland Mountains]] in Tennessee. I-75 crosses Kentucky, passing through [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]] before crossing the [[Ohio River]] into [[Cincinnati|Cincinnati, Ohio]]. In Ohio, the highway runs up the western side through [[Dayton, Ohio|Dayton]] and [[Lima, Ohio|Lima]] before crossing into Michigan north of [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]]. I-75 runs northeasterly along the [[Lake Erie]] shoreline and [[Detroit River]] into the city of [[Detroit]] before turning northwesterly to [[Flint, Michigan|Flint]]  and northward to the [[Mackinac Bridge]] where the freeway crosses the strait between Lakes [[Lake Huron|Huron]] and [[Lake Michigan|Michigan]]. Farther north, I-75 approaches the Canadian border at Sault Ste. Marie, downriver from [[Lake Superior]], {{convert|1786.5|mi|km}} from its origins near the subtropical [[Atlantic Ocean]].
