The MTQ is pretty bad about this. They were from cancelled extensions of highways.
A40 at A40/A73/A573. I believe A40 was supposed to be extended west here, but was instead made part of a concurrency with A73 south.

Further West: A40 at A55. A40 was supposed to be extended east here, but again, was instead made part of a concurrency with A55 south and then sent east to Quebec city.

QuoteI-395 Center Leg freeway
Not so much a "stub ramp" as it is extra pavement width that was never used, and will actually be removed as part of a current air-rights development project.
QuoteInfamous I-695 stub
This was I-295, not I-695. And is gone now.
As for the subject, there have been threads (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=152.0) on this (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=14196.0) in the past, including recently (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=15271.0).
The R.H. Thomson Expressway ghost ramps in Seattle are fairly famous. WSDOT started demolition of them last October, sadly.

There is a never-used ramp from the Red Mountain Expressway (US 31 S/US 280 E) to EB 1st Avenue North (US 11 N) in downtown Birmingham that dates back to the early 70's.
One is left over in Delaware from SB US 13 to NB I-295 and EB US 40.
One was left in Indy for the never built I-69 into both I-70 and I-65.
Two of them lie along I-78 near Shartelsville, PA for rest areas that never got built.
Here is a stub ramp on Hong Kong's Route 5, the West Kowloon Corridor, which was partially demolished and never rebulit after the construction on Fu Cheong Estate.

The Amstutz was meant to go further north, but I'm not sure how far or if there were any big-picture plans for it.
Likewise in Illinois, my favorites include the north end of IL-6 north of Peoria and the stub ramps near Decatur for an interchange between I-72 and a US-51 freeway that never happened. (link) (https://www.google.ca/maps/@39.9067843,-88.9830183,1859m/data=!3m1!1e3)

This is the northeast end of the Norwalk (OH) bypass.

This would have brought US-250 from just south of Norwalk to just south of Milan. Had it ever come to fruition, the bypass (currently used as-is by US-20 and OH-18) probably would have had OH-61 rerouted along the bypass as well, while OH-13 would have probably remained running thru town as-is, and would remain duplexed with US-250 on either side of the bypass.
It's a shame that it never got completed, at least extended to OH-61 on the east side, although you could still technically bypass downtown north-south by using the Bypass to US-20 East to OH-601 North in Milan to get back to US-250/OH-13. The majority of the proposed route still looks like forest and farmland, so technically it is still possible to build it without knocking down too many houses.

The ramps aren't really stubs... they connect the active 219 freeway with the older roadway.
I suppose this would belong in a "Stub mainline" thread.

What you're facing is the paved roadway (mainline) facing north, I didn't mean the ramps.

Chris Bessett has a lengthy explanation on his M-47 page http://michiganhighways.org/listings/M-047.html
M47 was supposed to continue north to I-75 at the M-33 interchange, but the continuation was never built. Google maps has the half cloverleaf incorrectly mapped.
I-5 at I-405 in Portland on the East End of the Fremont Bridge, was supposed to be the Presscott Freeway, as well as the East Side of the Marquam Bridge where I-84 was supposed to be instead of the Banfield Freeway.

Apparently (http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2014/06/huge_project_of_demolition_rec.html) last year they replaced that ramp to make it a trumpet and get rid of the weaving, but the satellite view hasn't updated.

The Google Maps SV shows July 2009, and there is overgrowth on the stub. PennDOT certainly has enough money to extend the freeway, but there is no future plans to do so.

The magical trees are Act 44. That's why I said they had enough money to extend the freeway, due to Act 44.
Act 44?
Yeah, I guess they could build US-219 with all the money they're getting from those I-80 tolls.....
Oh, wait....
Even with the money that the more recent Act 89 brings in, it's mostly being used just to try and keep up what we have.
Sticking with US-219 as an example, PennDOT still isn't sure how it's gonna pay for the upgrades between Meyersdale and Maryland.
There were plans to extend the freeway north of Ebensburg, they were deferred/cancelled because PennDOT certainly DOES NOT have enough money.
Just because I-80 isn't tolled doesn't mean the PTC is exempt from the payments. They're still on the hook. That's why the tolls are sky high on the Turnpike and go up every year. PennDOT uses the money to subsidize transit.
You think now that they could give the I-80 and I-476 interchange high speed ramps now they have you paying big on the Extension. At least give them something good out of it. It may not be much, but at least its something.
QuotePennDOT uses the money to subsidize transit.
PennDOT uses the money for far more than just subsidizing transit. There have been scores of repaving and bridge projects the money has been used on.
If you're going to play the "subsidizing game", one could argue that, quite simply, PTC is subsidizing PennDOT...
Was going to make a new thread for nationwide and worldwide examples after seeing a new ramp stubs thread specific to Washington state, but after seeing that 4 have already been made in the past, decided to bump the most recent of the 4, which is this one.
Some Cincinnati examples
I-74 E to Central Pkwy (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1510673,-84.5398405,239m/data=!3m1!1e3)
- This ramp originally carried US 27/US 52 to Central Pkwy (US 127), which the two US routes use to go to downtown. It was removed as part of the I-75 modernization project, so US 27/52 share a concurrency with I-75 until Hopple (exit 3), where it uses that road to get to Central Pkwy.
Spring Grove Ave to I-75 S loop ramp (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1540591,-84.5432823,397a,35y,356.38h/data=!3m1!1e3)
- Like the above example, this was closed as part of the I-75 modernization project.
OH 126 at US 22 (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2232801,-84.3564467,437a,35y,356.38h/data=!3m1!1e3)
- This stub was part of the former proposal to extend the Reagan Hwy across Indian Hills to meet I-275 on the east, which got cancelled due to opposition. It has been removed as part of the roundabout project between OH 126 and US 22.
I-275 just south of the US 50/OH 450 interchange (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1439297,-84.2672763,1633a,35y,356.38h/data=!3m1!1e3)
- These look like former rest area ramps to me, though I don't know when the rest area got removed.

I-380 has a stub ramp in San Bruno, on its west end and it was intended to connect to CA-380.

The Interim 1971 CATS Plan has WI 794/I-794 tying into an upgraded/partially relocated US 41 corridor in Illinois with the Amstutz being a separate facility that stops short of the Wisconsin border. The 1962 CATS Plan does have the US 41 corridor curving closer to the shore near the Wisconsin border but it appears to stay well west of downtown Waukegan.

When I was a kid (mid 1970s), I believe the ramp from I-690 west to I-481 south was signed or formerly signed with a blank green panel.
The former CA-480 Embarcadero had a stub ramp but that was intended to meet Doyle Drive/Presidio parkway initially but that was gone 3 decades ago when the Loma Prieta quake destroyed the freeway.
I-280 had a stub section at one point on its north end with the intention to meet with CA-480 but that later became gentrified to be a part of Soma and Mission Bay once Oracle park and Chase Arena were built.
There are few freeways in Connecticut that don't have stub ramps. The closest one to where I grew up, Ridgefield, is where Super 7 ends in Norwalk.

A few nubs off the Alaskan Way Viaduct meant for the Connecticut Street Viaduct, which would have connected to I-90 before the Kingdome blocked off the route.

The infamous half-used "Stack" on I-84 at the north end of CT 9. There are stub ramps to what was supposed to be I-291 north of there, plus there's even a stub of the mainline buried within the interchange. https://goo.gl/maps/3qqC9wJTR4eqcyW67

I found this at the northern terminus of the Natchez Trace Pkwy with TN 100. When and why did the ramp from Natchez Trace to TN 100 East (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.0345344,-86.9769022,652m/data=!3m1!1e3) close, and traffic to TN 100 East were redirected to McCrocy Ln?
Having a ramp merge where you have left-turning traffic into businesses is not exactly a good idea from a safety and operational perspective. Those businesses on the north side of 100 east of McCrocy did not exist when the NTP was built.
An analysis of aerial imagery suggests it was closed in 2014 or 2015.

Was going to make a new thread for nationwide and worldwide examples after seeing a new ramp stubs thread specific to Washington state, but after seeing that 4 have already been made in the past, decided to bump the most recent of the 4, which is this one.
Some Cincinnati examples
I-74 E to Central Pkwy (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1510673,-84.5398405,239m/data=!3m1!1e3)
- This ramp originally carried US 27/US 52 to Central Pkwy (US 127), which the two US routes use to go to downtown. It was removed as part of the I-75 modernization project, so US 27/52 share a concurrency with I-75 until Hopple (exit 3), where it uses that road to get to Central Pkwy.
And there's still US 27 shields on Central Pkwy. Interesting.

What is now Bates Ave (just north of the Hopple intersection) used to be part of an on-ramp from Central Pkwy to 74 W, and carried 27 N and 52 W too. So actually, Central Pkwy between I-74 and that ramp used to carry only southbound 27/52.

Former SB US 17 through movement from the former Grace Bridge, which was replaced in the mid 2000s by the current Ravenal Bridge.
I-474 Exit 3A in Peoria
Signed "To IL 116" this is a half Cloverleaf, for the now all-but-cancelled IL 336 between Peoria and Macomb. This is the only part of 336 built in Peoria, but is not signed as such. The only signed designation it has at all is a "Hidden" route number on the County Mileage/Reference Marker
The fact that it is a Half Cloverleaf, with all the ROW for a Full Cloverleaf if the route continued eastward, which some grading work was done. From what I have read, the plans to continue the would-be IL 336 inside 474 were dropped
But the fact that this interchange and roadway was built, is itself a stub ramp, because it was to be the eastern end of the Mainline IL 336 Expressway between Peoria and Macomb, and the 336 project between the two Western IL cities is all but dead
A somewhat unique one: the HOV ramps to the Ash Way P&R near Lynnwood (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.8530441,-122.2566416,270m/data=!3m1!1e3) only have access to the south. The north half was supposed to be funded by the 2007 Roads & Transit ballot measure, which was rejected and replaced with a smaller transit-only package. The new package did not include enough money to actually build the ramp, which hampers bus operations for express routes but will eventually become obsolete with light rail expansion in 2037.
Gee, no one has mentioned the stub ramps off US-1 in Revere, MA, which are followed by over two miles of what looks like partially prepared roadbed across Rumney Marsh that were intended for I-95: https://goo.gl/maps/MDkn9eK91Gtyb3xMA (https://goo.gl/maps/MDkn9eK91Gtyb3xMA)

It appears the only thing abandoned was the idea of building the rest area. I see no evidence that one was ever constructed.

Could you possibly shed some light on why carpool traffic cannot use the ramps? In theory, the ramps are only getting about half the traffic they should (assuming there are no routes that terminate at Ash Way), plus carpool traffic normally would not need to continue through and would find the ramps much more useful. Yet, it's the only direct-access ramps I can think of in the Seattle region that are bus only; Downtown and 108th in Bellevue, Federal Way, Totem Lake, South Everett, all future 405 ETL ramps .... all of them allow carpool traffic. But not Ash Way.

It dumps out right into the bus loop, and clogging a busy transit facility with cars is not ideal. There's no traffic light onto Ash Way either, so buses would be massively delayed while cars try to turn left (SB) to reach 164th.

https://goo.gl/maps/Xk4TEQp8QJLyUbeL6
The Windlass Freeway name that Google Maps shows for that stretch of 695 is the giveaway--the Windlass would have branched off I-95 by Moravia Road (the branch that for many years had the blank sign at a stub ramp, with a button copy border but otherwise no text) and gone over to where Exit 37 on the beltway belongs (Exit 37 is missing because of this), then probably going north-northeastward at today's MD 702 (ghost ramp stubs there too, the most noticeable off of 702 SB). There were arrows and barricades on the paved stub continuation of the Windlass branching to the left off the beltway NB until just a couple years ago. The paved stub is now gone as are the signs, over 30 years after it was killed.

While the ramp isn't terribly busy, there's additional local routes that only use the loop, not to mention a crosswalk at the end of the ramp. Lots of potential for congestion during the PM rush.
It was closed off a few years ago.

That is an abandoned rest area. Switch to aerial images to see it. Interestingly, the most recent aerial image shows it to be in use. :spin:

Also, check out the 2022-dated streetview shots of it. When I drove the highway in the very late 1990s, it was also closed off.
1. I can't find any aerial view of it showing that it's in use.
2. I can't find any 2022 GSV shots.

Wrong side of the highway, dude.

How long before NYSDOT competes and opens the westbound rest area, seeing as they recently did that to the eastbound one?
Mike
The eastbound rest area has been in service for a long time. You seem to be under the impression that both of these were abandoned and the eastbound one was opened again later. This is simply not the case. The two rest areas are completely unrelated.

I would assume that the never-built westbound rest area was to planned have been completed when or after the rest of the NY-17 freeway was extended from the Lake Chautauqua area to the PA line in the early 90s??

Not sure about its history, but it's clearly visible in the 1985 aerial.
Both have very similar grading visible in the 1980s and 1990s aerial imagery, but then they randomly completed the eastbound rest area. It seems reasonable to assume they'll eventually get around to westbound.
Given that NY "temporarily closed" a bunch of rest areas in 2011 and a couple of those still are (and a couple others have since become parking areas), I wouldn't hold my breath on new rest areas in NY.

One was left in Indy for the never built I-69 into both I-70 and I-65.
...
The North Split Upgrade (reconstruction) project has recently resulted in the final demise of those old stub ramps from the 1970s. They were originally intended to be the southern endpoints for the never-built Northeast Freeway, to connect downtown Indy at the North Split (of I-65 & I-70) with the southern terminus of "Classic I-69" at I-465 in Castleton (at Binford Blvd, the former SR 37) on the far NE side.
Because that 1970s project got cancelled (victim of the Freeway Revolution), I-69 became one of the few 2-di highways that terminated at a 3-di. Now, of course, it continues on to Bloomington, Evansville and beyond and may SOMEDAY head all the way to México (won't be in MY lifetime, though). But it will officially bypass downtown Indy by following I-465 from Castleton to just west of Harding Street on the SW side of the city, where a new system interchange is being built as part of the Finish Line I-69 project.

The former CA-480 Embarcadero had a stub ramp but that was intended to meet Doyle Drive/Presidio parkway initially but that was gone 3 decades ago when the Loma Prieta quake destroyed the freeway.
I-280 had a stub section at one point on its north end with the intention to meet with CA-480 but that later became gentrified to be a part of Soma and Mission Bay once Oracle park and Chase Arena were built.
The "stub" of I-280 to which you refer still kinda exists, being later routed directly onto King Street (at a traffic signal for 5th St, just south of the Caltrain terminal yards). King eventually curves into and becomes The Embarcadero (surface street) just past the Giants' ballpark. The final (partial) interchange on I-280 is for the ramps to & from 6th Street (which cross above the aforementioned railroad and land to the northwest of it at the signalized intersection of 6th St & Brannan St). The original intent was to connect 280 directly to the 480 Embarcadero Freeway, but that never came about. The Chase Center was recently built nearby, it is a part of the Mission Bay district, but is much further south than the old I-280 stub, at 16th St & 3rd St (which because of the geography of the city, actually cross). I-280 is about 4 blocks to the west of the arena, on an elevated viaduct above the Caltrain tracks where they have a at-grade crossing with 16th (at 7th St & Pennsylvania Ave).
BTW, the Loma Prieta earthquake did not "destroy" the Embarcadero Freeway, but so damaged it that the decision was made to tear it down rather than rebuild the hated concrete monolith that blocked bay views from parts the city.
Author's note: Today, October 17, 2022, is the 33rd anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. I happened to be visiting the Bay Area that day and experienced it first hand. May all the victims of that temblor continue to rest in peace. For all those who died on the I-880 Nimitz Freeway collapse in Oakland, their deaths were not in vain as what engineers and scientists eventually learned from that failure has helped make our highways and structures built and retrofitted since more seismically sound.

I know of a few stub ramps on Long Island.
NY 25 has a small stub ramp that would have been the southbound 135 Exit 14W if they built it further north.
There is a small stub ramp, its hard to see and you might miss it if you aren't looking for it on the JFK Expressway heading into the airport that was intended to be an Exit to NY 878 west if the Nassau Expressway had the westbound side built.
There are a couple on Staten Island, the two most famous ones on 278 for the unbuilt Richmond Parkway extension were demolished in the HOV lane project, there are some on NY 440 south at the Korean War Vets Parkway interchange.
