Interstate 20 (I-20) is an east–west Interstate Highway in Texas in American Truck Simulator. It runs from Interstate 10 in Scroggins Draw to US 59 in Marshall. The highway also continues to Atlanta, Georgia in older games.
In real life, Interstate 20 ends in the western limits of Florence, South Carolina, having a running length of 1,539 miles (2,477 km).
Course[]
Interstate 20 begins at its junction with Interstate 10 in the unincorporated community of Scroggins Draw in the Chihuahuan Desert. Trending northeast through the desert, the highway passes through Pecos and intersects US 285; soon afterwards, I-20 continues to trend across the westernmost portion of the Chihuahuan Desert until it eventually reaches the city of Odessa in the southernmost portion of the Great Plains. In Odessa, the highway has interchanges with US 385 and Loop 338. After leaving the Midland–Odessa combined statistical area, I-20 reaches Big Spring, where it intersects US 87. Entering the Central Plains of Texas, the highway passes through Abilene, where it crosses paths with US 83 and 277. I-20 continues to trace across the central plains and passes the rest areas through the hilly terrain of Eastland County. Leaving Eastland County, I-20 passes through the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, beginning with an intersection of Interstate 30's western terminus, followed by running to the south of Downtown Fort Worth, intersecting Interstate 35W, passing south of Arlington, crossing Interstate 35E to the south of Dallas, and ending with an intersection with Interstate 45 before leaving the metroplex. Entering the woodlands in northeastern Texas, east and westbound weigh stations are first passed; soon afterwards, the highway intersects with US 69 in Lindale to the north of Tyler. Before running south of Longview, I-20 traces through wetlands and crosses the Sabine River there. Entering the southern portion of Longview, I-20 intersects US 259 and SH 149; soon afterwards, I-20 ends at its intersection with US 59 at Marshall, to eventually continue into Louisiana.
