Inspired by the "BGS's on Surface Streets" thread, what are some examples of BGS's put up by state (or provincial) DOT's on roads that were later decommissioned?

This can apply to state/ provincial routes, US highways, and (dare I say) decommissioned Interstates no longer maintained at the state level. It can apply to roads that were realigned, abandoned, or simply turned over to counties or cities.

One example that immediately comes to mind are any remaining BGS's on the abandoned stretch of I-44 northeast of Tulsa.

In Washington:

Nichols Blvd (an old alignment of SR 432) in Longview: https://www.google.com/maps/@46.1326761,-122.9524852,3a,75y,346.49h,101.55t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sYBmhMSWMzcwe00Nw23U29A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en
Alright, this is how it's gonna be!

There was this button-copy one on Tennessee Street in Florence, AL, probably due to the road having once been part of US 72/US 43:

It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Would this count? I-44 got rerouted near Catoosa and this sign remained along the abandoned alignment

There are couple on former routes around Springfield, IL, though I think some have been reinstalled since the routes were removed.

One on South Grand, once part of US 66, US 54, possibly IL 54 as well.

Probably a few more I cannot remember at the moment.
