Locally Maintained Limited Access Roads

[Max Rockatansky]

On the Pacific Southwest board the topic of locally maintained freeways came up regarding Clark County Route 215.  It had me curious what other examples of limited access facilities are out there that aren't maintained by a State DOT.  By local I mean an agency that is County, City, Corporate, some kind of park or anything else that might meet the somewhat loose criteria so long as it isn't a State DOT.

A few off the top of my head:

Pena Blvd in Denver
Gilcrease and LL Tisdale in Tulsa
(Formerly) Summerlin Parkway in Vegas
The Disney World freeway system

I feel like we’ve had a thread on this.

[Max Rockatansky]

Perhaps, I didn't find an old thread but then again I'm searching from my phone.  One obscure freeway that probably wouldn't be mentioned is small portion of Grand Loop Road in Yellowstone National Park near Old Faithful.  There is a fully limited access interchange to the Old Faithful Visitor Center that to my knowledge is the only Park Service road that could be considered a full freeway configuration.

Palatine Road I think it's under cook county control

Palatine Road I think it's under cook county control

False, Palatine (as is most of Willow) Road is under IDOT's jurisdiction, both the express and local lanes. I noticed they are finally resurfacing the road this year, something it has sorely needed for a while now.

Burlington Street in Hamilton, ON.

Yes its dejavu as this is another thread of the past as pointed out above.

Until a few years ago, the Terminal Island Freeway (CA 103) north of Pacific Coast Highway/CA 1 was maintained by the Port of Los Angeles; prior to its "grandfathering" into the state network after '64, the remainder of the facility was as well, including the part occupied by CA 47.

I mean, every limited-access highway in NYC is maintained by NYCDOT.

Maintained, but actual capital projects on state-owned highways in NYC are let by NYSDOT.

That may be, but the thread topic specifically says "locally maintained".

I know that the Sea-Tac Airport Expressway is maintained by Port of Seattle.

Gardiner Expressway (which now includes a small segment that was part of the original QEW that was added to it after the 1997 download), Don Valley Parkway, & Allen Road in Toronto, Ontario.

A portion of I-83 in Baltimore is locally maintained which is why relics like this still exist:

* Forest Park Parkway in Clayton, MO, has a freeway section maintained by St. Louis County.  Google aerial of the freeway section.  Streetview EB near I-170.  Further east there's a freeway section maintained by St. Louis City, although it's a little shorter than it used to be  since an at grade intersection was placed at Kingshighway.

* IIRC, what is now I-170 through the Clayton/Richmond Heights area was at least built by St. Louis County and probably maintained by them for a bit as well.

Palatine Road I think it's under cook county control

False, Palatine (as is most of Willow) Road is under IDOT's jurisdiction, both the express and local lanes. I noticed they are finally resurfacing the road this year, something it has sorely needed for a while now.

At one time it may have been under Cook County Maintenance - IIRC Cook County originally built some of the freeway sections.

Gardiner Expressway (which now includes a small segment that was part of the original QEW that was added to it after the 1997 download), Don Valley Parkway, & Allen Road in Toronto, Ontario.

Keeping with the Ontario theme; Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway and Red Hills Valley Parkway are maintained by the City of Hamilton.

Not sure if you can fully count it as a freeway (especially given its speed limit of 35 mph), but Sunport Boulevard in Albuquerque does have a diamond interchange at University Blvd.

Summerlin Parkway was recently renamed as NV-613 given that the Nevada DOT taken over jurisdiction of the road.
