State highways ending as freeways

Similar to the US highway thread.

Michigan has 2 easy ones, M-6 and M-14 (because they are freeways for their entire lengths)

M-10 southern end is also a freeway, sort of.  It transitions into Jefferson Ave.

The northern end of M-25 (Bay City) is divided limited access for the last bit before I-75/US-10 interchange, if that counts.  Similarly for the east end of M-20 (Midland)

The north end of M-47 (Auburn/Midland) has an exit in the last bit.

There's probably lots of these. Assuming you don't mean the common case of a state highway that is entirely freeway, off the top of my head I can think of CA 2, CA 4, CA 78, CA 94, ...

Dozens and dozens. For Washington:

SR 7 in Tacoma
SR 8 near Olympia
SR 14 in Vancouver
SR 16 in Tacoma
SR 18 in Federal Way
SR 167 in Renton (and soon to be Tacoma)
SR 240 in Kennewick
SR 285 near Wenatchee
SR 290 in Spokane
SR 304 near Bremerton
SR 410 in Sumner
SR 432 in Kelso
SR 500 in Vancouver
SR 509 in Seattle (and soon to be Federal Way)
SR 512 in Lakewood and Puyallup (full freeway)
SR 518 in Burien and Tukwila (full freeway)
SR 520 in Seattle and Redmond (full freeway)
SR 522 in Monroe
SR 525 in Lynnwood
SR 526 in Everett
SR 599 in Tukwila (full freeway)

MN 101 (north end)
MN 280 (south end both ways, north end NB only)

Edit: I guess technically IN 265 still exists.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

IL 6 - both
IL 255 - both

M-10 doesn't count.  It continues along Jefferson Avenue to end at Randolph Street (junction with M-3 and unsigned BS I-375).

Easternmost 3.5 miles of M-60 is a freeway (with an interchange at Michigan Avenue), terminating at I-94.

Southern end of M-85 in Brownstown Township is debatable.  The median is definitely not freeway standard and the posted speed limit is 55, so I say No.

So many miles and so many roads

The ones I found for Colorado are:

CO 16 (W end)
CO 21 (N end)
CO 58 (Both ends)
CO 470 (Both ends)
CO E-470 (Both ends)

Additionally, there are quite a few that end as expressways (CO 115 N end comes to mind).

Louisiana:

LA 3132 in Shreveport

LA 3152 in New Orleans I don't think classifies. It ends as an interchange over LA 48 as it transitions into US West going over the Huey Long Bridge.

Same with LA 3139, Earhart Expressway. It's a freeway but not on either end at east and west termini.

Isn't the west end of 2 actually surface street, whether the original west end at Route 1 in Santa Monica, or the current one at US 101 in Hollywood?

Other California examples:

13 (south end)
14 (south end)
15 (south end; future I-15)
17 (both ends)
22 (east end)
24 (both ends)
33 (south end, former US 399)
37 (both ends)
44 used to qualify, but hasn't in about 20 years since being extended west into downtown Redding
47 (south end)
51 (both ends, unsigned)
52 (both ends)
54 (both ends if the segment east of Route 125 doesn't count anymore)
55 (north end)
56 (both ends)
57 (both ends)
58 (east end)
60 (west end)
65 north segment (both ends)
67 (south end)
68 (west end)
71 (north end)
73 (both ends)
75 (north end)
77 (lol)
82 used to count in the 1960s when it covered what is now 280 between San Jose Avenue and US 101 in SF
85 (both ends)
86 (north end)
87 (both ends)
91 (east end)
92 (east end)
99 (south end)
103 (south end)
110 (both ends of state route segment)
118 (east end)
120 (west end)
125 (both ends)
126 (west end)
132 (west end)
133 (north end)
134 (both ends)
138 (west end - only portion of Metropolitan Bypass Freeway ever built)
149 has freeway-to-freeway interchanges with both termini (99 and 70) but itself is not a freeway, so an interesting case here.  The interchanges date back to 2009 or so.
156 (west end)
160 (both ends)
163 (both ends - originally 163 continued south along old US 395 to Harbor Drive until the 1980s)
168 (west end)
170 (both ends, now that the segment along Highland Avenue was decommissioned)
204 (north end, former US 99)
210 (both ends)
217 (both ends)
241 (both ends)
242 (both ends)
244 (west end, if this even really counts)
259 (both ends, unsigned)
261 (both ends)
262 (west end)
275 used to count when it went all the way past Tower Bridge to US 50, but that portion is now a surface street no longer in the state highway system.
330 (west end)
480 (former interstate) counted when it existed.
905 (both ends)

Without putting much thought into it I know in Wisconsin that highways 16, 172, 441, and 794 end as freeways in one of their directions

Fairly sure 30 also on that list
So Lone Star now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Only CT 11, 40, and 78 among CT signed state highways are full-length freeways.

Others with non-freeway portions and freeway termini: CT 2, 2A, 3, 8, 9, 15, 17, 20, 25, 32, 34, 66, 72, 184, 349

Others with freeway portions not at either end: 187, 189, 190

Unsigned routes with freeway and non-freeway portions: 401, 450 (neither has an interchange on its own)
My first SF/horror short story collection is available: "Young Man, Open Your Winter Eye"

I'd argue that the south/west end doesn't qualify, since it becomes one lane in each direction, undivided for its last half-mile (after the Moffett Place interchange). That said, I know the BEGIN FREEWAY/END FREEWAY signs are somewhere in the middle of that segment, and there aren't any crossings, so....

...if we do accept it as freeway, then I'd add:
154 (south end)
237 (west end)

13 south?  That would very much be stretching what is considered a freeway IMHO(used to join 90/94 Eastbound many times via 13)
Will take your word on 64 west as only drove the east end of 64 that ends in Marinette(not a freeway lol)
So Lone Star now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

154 I had forgotten about!  I've driven on it several times so I should have remembered that one.

237 west end, isn't there 1 intersection between the start of the freeway segment and Route 82/El Camino Real?

Pretty sure that's it, although E-470 isn't a state highway.  I thought CO47 might be a candidate in Pueblo, but I forgot there was an at grade intersection right before it hits I-25.

VA-164, a full freeway through Portsmouth and Suffolk
VA-195, a full freeway through Downtown Richmond
VA-895, a full freeway between Richmond and I-295
VA-288, a full freeway beltway of Richmond
VA-76, a full freeway extending west of Downtown Richmond

webny99

The fairly short list for New York includes NY 390, 590, and 690 (all become interstates) and NY 531 (eastern terminus).

There is NO part of LA-3132 that is not freeway.
I am not familiar enough with Clearview (Is there freeway?)
You have Earhart down right.

Let's build what we need as economically as possible.
