It's possible to drive entirely across the USA on Interstate route 80. What are the easternmost and westernmost major cities on this route?

I have no idea then
I got this off the web:
Interstate 80 is a major transcontinental corridor connecting California and New York City. From the city of San Francisco to a few miles west of the Hudson River in northern New Jersey, Interstate 80 traverses various terrain and states. Its highest point is located at Sherman Hill Summit in Wyoming between Laramie and Cheyenne at an elevation of 8640 feet. The highest point of Interstate 80 east of the Mississippi is near Milepost 111 in Pennsylvania.
Although Interstate 80 begins at U.S. 101 in San Francisco, original plans called for the Interstate to continue west through Golden Gate Park to the Pacific Ocean near the famous Ocean Beach area. This plan was halted due to community opposition. As a result, Interstate 80 is a few miles shorter than originally planned. Since the Central Freeway viaduct was mostly torn down, Interstate 80 now ends at the series of U.S. 101 exits near Van Ness Avenue. This terminus is somewhat in dispute; some say that Interstate 80 actually ends at the Embarcadero exit. See Interstate 80 - San Francisco/Alameda Counties for more information.
In the east, Interstate 80 ends at its junction with Interstate 95 in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, as overhead signage shows. However, at Interstate 80's eastern terminus, there is some debate as to whether or not it ends at the Hudson River or at Interstate 95. The exit numbering on Interstate 95 north of Interstate 80 in New Jersey seems to approximate what the Interstate 80 numbering would be if it continued east to the George Washington Bridge. However, that numbering is actually what would be for Interstate 95 if it had been completed as planned in New Jersey. It's a coincidence that the exit numbers are so close numerically.

Schwanson had the correct answer. I-80 ends in Ridgefield Park, NJ. NY is about five miles beyond where I-80 ends.
*EDIT. For taking geography trivia too seriously.
