Interstate 10 is a coast to coast interstate highway running 2,460 miles from Santa Monica, California, on the west to Jacksonville, Florida, on the east.

Although the highway passes through eight states from Pacific to Atlantic, more than one-third of its total mileage is one state, Texas.

How big is Texas?

Consider this: At the western end of the state near El Paso, you are actually closer to the Pacfic Ocean and Santa Monica than you ae to the other end of the state. Likewise, from the eastern end of Texas, near Orange, is shorter to drive to Jacksonville than it is to drive westward across Texas.
