It's easy enough to create:
http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/relation%5bnetwork=US:US%5d
and http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/relation%5bnetwork=US:I%5d
plus lots of memory. (Interstates still have a few gaps, mainly in
West Virginia.) I suspect it would look rather similar to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_current_US_Routes.svg .
