The Airport Expressway linking the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to State Route 518 does not have an official name nor is it signed as anything but "Airport". No numerical designation either, as it's maintained by the port and not the state.

That's named "Route 85 Connector".

The airport's recorded announcements refer to it as the airport drive, as in "No parking or waiting on the airport drive."

How about the connector between I-76 / I-676 and NJ 168?

internally numbered route 76C, the I-76 Connector.

That's true enough, but neither designation is posted, nor is it known to the public. The exit from the Walt Whitman Bridge calls it 130/168/676 and from 676 it's 130/168 (without any TOs), so it is signed as a very long exit ramp. From 168, it *is* signed as TO 76/676 and it has exits that are marked as such (but not numbered) which implies it has its own identity.

The very short stretch of "Route 53" between Dundee Road (IL-68, where IL-53 exits) and Lake-Cook Road might qualify.  It neither has a name, nor a marked number (maybe an IDOT internal number).

Bumping this thread as I've found a tiny section of freeway in Ohio that is unnamed and unnumbered as a byproduct of I-76 and I-80 bumping at exit 218 of the OH Turnpike. And it's not a ramp.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

False. I-76 and I-80 are defined to switch places at the overpass.

You beat me to posting this, but yes. Both 76 and 80 are discontinuous where the mainline freeways cross.

Anyone want to tell Travel Mapping?  They have it as looping down the ramps with an overlap with I-80.

How about Exit 3A off of Peoria's I-474 in IL?

It is supposed to be part of IL 336 if that route is ever constructed between Peoria and Macomb, and I believe IDOT has a hidden designation for the present short route, that is signed as "To IL 116"  off of I-474 and "To I-474"  from IL 116 and Maxwell Rd

It basically serves as a long Exit Ramp between IL 116 and I-474 at this point

Per billburmaster.com, it is hidden IL 905 - only signed on IDOT County Mile Markers

There is also "NJ 90" in PA. It's referred to as such (with and without a "TO") from I-95 and has an exit in the state, but there is no signed PA route number for it. hey are also building a second exit on it Westbound.

IIRC the new signs will feature "To", so it won't even be truly signed NJ 90 anymore. They did mess it up a bit, it says "To NJ" next to an NJ 90 shield. Maybe they intended for these to be read separately, but to us roadgeeks it looks redundant. I don't know what signage will look like from the Adams Avenue connector; presumably similar to the signage from 95.
Mileage-based exit numbering implies the existence of mileage-cringe exit numbering.

1. The short portion of the Bradley Airport connector after CT 20 leaves/joins it.  It's internally known as SSR 401, but it's a piece of an expressway and not signed with a number.

2. The Maine Turnpike connector in South Portland

3. The short Super 2 to the International Ave Bridge/NB 1 in Calais, ME

4. The TF Green Connector
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

We tend to follow the path of traffic, not the path of the centerline.  Witness TRUCK US 19 in Pittsburgh for another example.

Which makes sense to me, in terms of Travel Mapping's purpose. No one is going to clinch I-76 or I-80 by teleporting onto/off of the overpasses.

TM does routes as signed, not as they exist. There is a difference.
