Grade-separated gravel roads

I found one of these on Drummond Island, Michigan.
There is a gravel road extending between two quarries on the western end of the island that is completely grade-separated. Two local roads have bridges over the gravel road, and one local road goes through a neat-looking round tunnel under the road.

The road is pretty prominent in the satellite imagery:

Cool!  Street View: https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.974216,-83.811103&spn=0.000535,0.001321&t=k&z=20&layer=c&cbll=45.974126,-83.81113&panoid=pQEdY4llRePDhH1VEP1smg&cbp=12,3.63,,0,0

That definitely beats these:

IL-53 at a quarry in Romeoville.

Thornton Quarry at the Tri-State Tollway.  And yes, that is a dam being built in the image.
