Pennsylvania Turnpike

I'm surprised no one posted any of the ones on the Penn Turnpike yet

In Dubuque, IA US 20 at Bryant St.:

Bryant St. goes over US 20 (Dodge St.) It's not as notiecable on street view but there is a very steep grade on the overpass.

Dang. You could mistake that one for the Albany Turnpike one over I-90.

I think this overpass is decently steep for Ontario (Moonstone Road over the 400)

^^
"Steep" in the OP refers to the rise in elevation of an overpass, between one edge of the freeway and the other, not the steepness of the ramp leading up to the overpass.

kphoger · « **Reply #37 on:** February 07, 2019, 10:40:46 AM »

The approach doesn't appear to be very steep either, anyway.

I always found this one interesting:

https://goo.gl/maps/Wpu1VZ5pa5v

The angles of each bridge make it that you can see the pavement of the bridge above the roadway. Kind of weird!

There's a somewhat similar situation with US 2 over I-89 in Vermont: https://goo.gl/maps/dc4ZgM8LC2N2

US 89 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 07, 2019, 11:17:10 AM »

A lot of the bridges along the I-215 east belt and in the 80/215/Foothill interchange in Salt Lake are fairly steep, but I think this one wins: https://goo.gl/maps/ZK4fmYTBPDJ2 . Even from the bridge itself, you get a sense of how steep it is: https://goo.gl/maps/TxSxtho9uTM2

That's 4500 South (or 4430 South, depending on what sign you read, but people will look at you funny if you use 4430).

also while i have never been over this overpass but only underneath it you can get a sense of how steep it is on streetview.

Hey, danthecatrafficlightfan, you should consider reading other posts in the topic before posting. Especially the ones about what "steep" means.

This is neither high nor steep. Nor remarkable in any way that I can tell.

jakeroot · « **Reply #44 on:** March 04, 2019, 06:13:46 PM »

You guys should look from the other direction. The steepness is far more obvious: http://bit.ly/2XLUC6S

Judging by the lack of a clearance sign for northbound traffic, that side of the bridge must be at least a foot-and-a-half higher than the other side (which is 15', 5").

It's not the steepest on this thread, but it's steep for that area.
