What are some of your favorite interchanges that are over (or partially over) water? I don't just mean bridges, but complex diverging roadways?

One I love is in New Bern, NC. Maybe not the best example, but a fun one

Interchanges over water are always really neat. I like this one in Louisiana:

This one in Alabama's kind of lackluster but I like it too:

I love my 2010 Ford Explorer.

I-96 and M-6 southeast of Grand Rapids is an interchange partially over water built in the 2000/2001 timeframe in a cold weather state: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8863488,-85.488929,1466m/data=!3m1!1e3

I-110 in Biloxi, MS which has its southern end at a trumpet with US 90, is cool cause the trumpet part is over the Gulf of Mexico.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

The Mixmaster in Waterbury CT.  The Naugatuck River flows underneath the monstrosity.  The tight left Exit from 84 West to 8 South passes over the river.
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

I clicked the link thinking I was going to be posting my home interchange over water, definitely wasn't expecting it to the subject of the OP. Definitely my favorite, I use the US-17 Northbound loop ramp to East Front St every time I go to work.

Fourche Creek snakes under Little Rock's Interstate 30/530/440 interchange with swampy land on both sides, elevating most of the interchange

I can't play favorites, because there's only one (that I can recall) that I've ever used: US-22/US-322 and PA 147 in Duncannon, PA.

It's kind of cool, but lessened, in typical Pennsylvania fashion, by the abrupt end of the freeway on the far side of the bridge.  :pan:
