Here is an abandoned sign bridge on State Street in Perth Amboy, NJ that once had a ramp to NJ 440 SB.  Now the entrance to NJ 440 SB is on the next street over to the east on High Street.

Any other relics that tell the story of once was out there.  Yes I know plenty of them are out there, but anyone want to share any?

To me, seems related to this thread (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=12158.0).

Both termini of the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway (NY 135) on Long Island have "highway from nowhere" entrances because it was supposed to be extended north to the (unbuilt) Oyster Bay Bridge and south to the Wantagh Parkway.  There's a similar setup with the eastern terminus of the Long Island Expressway (I-495) in Riverhead, since it was supposed to be extended out to Mattituck or Orient Point.

US 99 BGS at a ramp to the Alaskan Way Viaduct. It's still there. First & Columbia (http://goo.gl/3ZQaMz).

I thought about posting there, but the way some people are on this forum about unrelated stuff.  Some may say that because the stub in my OP is covered in grass would not qualify.  In turn I started another thread just to play safe.

US 1 signs still abound along the former ROW on Boston parkways.  Which is great because once you lose track of those, you're smack in the middle of some very confusing areas to be lost in.
