I-64, I-70, I-55, I-44, US-40
AKA, the Poplar St Bridge in St Louis, MO.
It is the only quad Interstate route in existence. I-70 will reroute in 2015 and it will go down to a tri route.

It also carries the designation Historic Route 66 and has the Historic 66 shield on it as well.

(Even weirder, I-44 ends at the Illinois state bridge halfway across the bridge, so the west half of the bridge is I-64/70/55/44 US-40 while the east half is only I-64/70/55 US-40
Unfortunately, I-44 is missing from this part of St Louis, so it is not on the way right now.
