Interstate 10 or I-10 is the southernmost coast-to-coast interstate highway in the United States. It stretches from California Highway 1, or the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica, California to Jacksonville, Florida, ending at Interstate 95. A sign near the western terminus of the highway, known as the Santa Monica Freeway in that part of Los Angeles, announces it as "The Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Freeway." Interstate 10's other major name in Southern California is the San Bernardino Freeway. It is known to a considerably lesser degree as the " Veteran's Memorial Highway " and is listed as a Blue Star Highway. A stretch in Palm Springs is signed as the " Sonny Bono Memorial Freeway" as a tribute to the late entertainer who served both as mayor and as a United States Congressman. A second stretch a few miles east in Indio is signed as the "Doctor June McCarroll Memorial Freeway." As a nurse with the Southern Pacific Railroad in the 1920s, Dr. McCarroll was alarmed at the number of head-on traffic collisions on a nearby stretch of then-new U.S. Highway 99, today known as both California State Highway 111 and California State Highway 86California State Highway 86 is a north-south highway in the southeastern desert region of Southern California. It links the Coachella Valley starting in Indio where it is co-signed with California State Highway 111 for a short distance before splitting in as well as Interstate 10 which replaced it between Indio and Los Angeles.

A plan proposed by the Arizona Department of Transportation involved city block-sized 270-degree "helicoils" that would connect motorists to freeway lanes 100 feet in the air, but voters killed it in 1973 as a result of opposition from the Arizona Republic and a growing nationwide anti-freeway sentiment. Ten years later, ADOT unveiled the current below grade plans. Despite local opposition, Interstate 10 was finally completed on August 10, 1990.

I-310 and I-510 are parts of what was slated to be I-410 and act as a southern bypass of New Orleans, Louisiana. I-610 is a shortcut from the eastern to western portion of New Orleans avoiding the I-10's detour into New Orleans' central business district.

I-12 between Baton Rouge and I-59 near the Louisiana/Mississippi state line is actually a shorter route than I-10 between those same points, since I-10 dips to the south to go through New Orleans. Those traveling to or from Baton Rouge who do not wish to detour into New Orleans should leave I-10 and take I-12 for its entire route until it again meets with I-10.
