In Oregon, you've got 217 that's a freeway at its north end.  The south end is sort of a freeway. Most traffic merges onto 5 south, with the left lane becoming a surface street.

I think that might be the only one.  Oregon doesn't seem to have too many state highways that are freeways.

OR 132 is a full freeway for its entire length.

I'm going to attempt Texas:

Dallas/NE Texas
TX 114
TX 149
TX 170
TX 183
TX 360
FM 2499
Loop 7? Questionable
Loop 12 (depends on where the start is)
Loop 151
Loop 224 (depends on where the start is)
Loop 286 (depends on where the start is)
Loop 287 (depends on where the start is)
Loop 288
Loop 340
Loop 484
Spur 280
Spur 325?
Spur 366
Spur 408
Spur 503
Spur 557

Houston/SE Texas
TX 73
TX 225
TX 288
FM 1960? Questionable (west end)
Loop 463
Spur 330
Spur 527? May be more of an extended ramp
NASA 1

Austin/San Antonio/Central Texas
TX 151
Loop 1
Loop 363
Loop 1604 (depends on where the start is)
Spur 371

Corpus/Laredo/Rio Grande Valley
TX 44
TX 286
TX 358
Loop 20

West Texas:
TX 191
Loop 306
Loop 322
Loop 375

Panhandle:
Loop 289
Loop 335?
Spur 327


Anyone from Texas feel free to add or discuss the ones I've listed.

EDIT: I forgot, Bus TX 121 has an at-grade between the 2 exits on its west end in Lewisville.

Just a note on the Houston/SE area--
I don't know of anywhere where SH 73 is a freeway but I could be wrong...
FM 1960 is not a freeway at any point that I know of,
NASA 1 only has like one exit,
FM 1764 in Texas City is a freeway though
Spur 330, SH 225, SH 288, Spur 527...also SH 99, I would argue Beltway 8
Right, but we're only looking at the terminus of these being freeways. Emmet Lowry is a freeway but not at the east or west terminus. NASA 1 and TX 73 at the west terminus is where I was looking at. Is it a ramp to merge onto the interstate or just an extended freeway-type section with no access to crossing roads? That's what make them a little questionable. FM 1960 especially as it transitions to TX 6 at US 290.

I thought Lowry (FM 1764) has its western terminus at IH 45...which would mean at least it's Western end is as freeway... though to be honest, I have never driven on that one...it's the only Houston area freeway I have never been on. 
I see what you mean about SH 73 and NASA 1... I forgot that 73 has a very short freeway segment between IH 10 and FM 1406.  And I had not been in the area of NASA in a LONG time.. I did not realize the bypass is actually a short freeway for about 2 miles...the last time I was down there, it was basically just a direct connector. 
I think there needs to be some kind of freeway extension or  bypass from IH 45 all the way SH 146...either NASA 1 or a 3di: something like Interstate 145
I love freeways and roads in any state but Texas will always be first in my heart

OH 11 - Southern end, stop sign at northern end
OH 15 - Eastern end
OH 59 - Western end
OH 104 - Northern end
OH 129 - Eastern end
OH 161 - Eastern end
OH 176 - Northern end
OH 315 - Southern end
OH 562 - Both ends

I disagree concerning the east end of Oh 15. That is an expressway, not a freeway (as of yet), from Findlay to the northern reaches of Delaware County. Too many intersections (still) to be a freeway.
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above

K-96 in Kansas.  It ends as a full freeway east of I-135 to US 54 & 400.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

In Nebraska, there's L28B, the connecting link between US 6 and US 275. I can't think of any numbered highways which end as freeways in Nebraska.
