Filled in what I could. I'd suggest a good starting place for people looking to see if routes are complete is to use the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Interstate_Highways_Relations links, particularly the relation checker ("check" links) - directional relations should be in one piece, bidirectional relations should be in two pieces. But I'd also recommend loading the relation into JOSM and checking to be sure all the ways are properly attributed - sometimes the motorway tag got redacted, for example. Missing ref tags and oneway tags are also pretty common. Also, http://map.project-osrm.org/ is useful for finding bits that don't connect up right, although it's usually 24-48 hours behind the live map. And sometimes it routes weirdly (for example, routes through Toledo used to like driving across downtown rather than staying on I-75) because there are map "shortcuts" that are really signal-infested slogs - usually that's fixable by going into the map and just adding all the missing traffic signals (usually pretty easy to spot from the aerials at high zoom), although an eventual field survey to tag the speed limits would be nice too.
