Like the title says, what are some examples of interchanges or even whole freeways that are maintained at the local level? That is, below the state route, US route, and Interstate level. This could be city roads, county roads, etc.
Two examples that come to mind for me are the Delta Highway in Eugene, Oregon, and the West Seattle Freeway from I-5 to West Seattle.

The Gilcrease Expressway and LL Tisdale Parkway in Tulsa didn't make that list--presumably because they were built after the page was last edited.

All the NYSDOT-owned freeways in NYC have maintenance done by NYCDOT.

They're also subject to NYC speed limit laws, hence why the city-wide freeway speed limit is 50mph.
In Texas we have toll roads owned by regional authorities. That's not exactly local, but it's below the state level. One of them, in Brownsville, is numbered as a state highway and as I-169, but is owned by a regional authority. I don't think there are any other regional authority roads that are designated state highways. (Some people incorrectly refer to Toll 49 as Loop 49. The section that is open was undesignated when the project was transferred to the regional authority. It also isn't a freeway, so it doesn't relate to this topic.) There are also some county toll roads, which are truly local. As far as I know, those exist only in the Houston area. I don't know of any local non-toll freeways.
It's not a freeway by any means, but in Santa Clara, there's a 3-way directional "stack" interchange between Coleman Ave. (coming in SE from San Jose), De La Cruz Blvd. (from the northern reaches of Santa Clara, directly north), and Davis St. in central Santa Clara; this branch includes a bridge over the UP/Caltrain tracks and El Camino Real (CA 82); this provides access to downtown Santa Clara as well as the University of Santa Clara, directly to the south. The interchange is located within and maintained by the City of Santa Clara -- although the bridge over CA 82 does have a Caltrans inventory number (as with all bridges over state highways regardless of maintenance arrangement).
Norfolk and Virginia Beach have a number of interchanges that were probably built by VDOT at one time but, as far as I can tell, are currently maintained by the cities (which maintain all non-interstate roads in the city limits, like other independent cities in Virginia). US 13/VA 225, US 13/US 60, US 13/US 58, and US 460/VA 168 come to mind.
Ferrell Pkwy (which isn't a freeway) in Virginia Beach ends at an interchange (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.797701,-76.1274691,526m/data=!3m1!1e3) with Salem Rd and VA 165 (VA 165 northbound actually has a left exit onto Ferrell Pkwy).
VA 168 in Norfolk has some interchanges (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.8972426,-76.2559177,884m/data=!3m1!1e3) with surface streets since it has to go above-grade due to a rail line in the area.
I'm not sure who maintains the interchanges along the new US 17 toll road in Chesapeake.
An interchange in Clarksville, IN, between what used to be IN 62 and IN 131 is now locally maintained since 62 was rerouted and 131 decommissioned.
Palatine Road is cook county?
How about Clark County 215/Northern/Western part of the Vegas Beltway/(the non-I-215 part)
Interchanges in SF along municipally-maintained streets:
- the Geary Expressway, specifically in Japantown (Fillmore Street exit) and Laurel Heights (Masonic and Presidio Avenues)
- Sunset Boulevard at Lincoln Way on the south edge of Golden Gate Park
QuoteI'm not sure who maintains the interchanges along the new US 17 toll road in Chesapeake.
It and VA 168 south of 64 are owned and operated by the city.

There's also San Jose Avenue from Randall Street to the I-280 Interchange. The northbound section has an at-grade intersection so it's not a freeway but the southbound section only has exits and even has an old BGS.
From what I found in cahighways (http://cahighways.org/maps-sf-fwy.html) (which mentions you), this is the current remains of the "Mission Freeway", does that sound right?
Air Base Parkway and North Texas Street interchange is made by the City of Fairfield, CA.
All of Summerlin Parkways exits are made by the city of Las Vegas or Clark County, NV.

Oh yeah, that's correct. (IIRC Mission Freeway was an early proposal that followed off of 101 originally using the Southern Freeway/El Camino Real routing in the 1950s) What is tricky - are the interchanges all tied into the I-280 junction (and possibly state maintained) or actually entirely city-maintained?
Even though it's an interstate, isn't I-83 inside Baltimore maintained by the city?
Also, adding to the aforementioned Virginia examples:
Charlottesville maintains most of the interchanges along US 250 (Charlottesville Bypass) in that city.
Danville maintains all interchanges in that city except those along US 29 (Danville Bypass).
Hampton maintains the interchanges at US 258 & LaSalle Ave (former VA 167), US 258 & VA 278, and VA 134 & VA 172.
Newport News maintains the US 17/258 & US 60 interchange.
Richmond maintains the US 60 & VA 161 interchange, as well as its portion of VA 150 (Chippenham Pkwy).
Arlington County may maintain some interchanges within its borders, not sure which ones though.
Based on certain signage I saw a few weeks ago, I believe the Suffolk Bypass might be now maintained by Suffolk, not 100% sure.
Not sure about Fredericksburg or Lynchburg.
Quote from: plainArlington County may maintain some interchanges within its borders, not sure which ones though.
None of them, actually, as VDOT maintains all primary routes within Arlington...not just the Interstates.
I think the Harshman Road & Springfield Street interchange in Riverside, Ohio (near Dayton) is maintained by Riverside since neither road is a state highway.
County CE and County N interchange east of Appleton, WI.
Closest example I can think of is the Shawnee Mission Parkway in Johnson County Kansas (the section just east of I-435)
What about a local/regional toll road authority?
The Richmond Metropolitan Authority administered the construction and the administers the maintenance of the VA-195 Downtown Expressway and the VA-76 Powhite Parkway.
These freeways are entirely within the City of Richmond.
(The VA-76 Powhite Parkway Extension in Chesterfield County is adminstered by VDOT).
I can't think of anything in Michigan that would resemble this. M-8 use to be like this, it's the Davison Freeway in Detroit and it was built in the 1940's as a quick way to get across Highland Park and on both ends it goes back to a city street. The Davison was closed completely in 1996 to completely rebuild the highway three years after it became M-8, before 1993 it was a county freeway.
Davison was the only street in Highland Park that went border to border connecting with a Detroit street as every other east-west street ends at Oakland Avenue. Oakland, Woodward, 2nd, 3rd and Hamilton are the only north-south streets to go border to border. Back when this freeway was built you had 50,000 people living in Highland Park, 1.6 million people living in Detroit and 50,000 people living in adjoining Hamtramck.
Shadeland Avenue from Washington Street to I-465 in Indianapolis, used to be a state highway.
Also the Sam Jones Expressway from I-465 to I-70 near the old entrance to the Indianapolis International Airport. To my knowledge it's always been a city highway.
And Keystone Parkway from 96th Street to 146th Street in Carmel, for all intents and purposes nearly a freeway-style road and formerly a state highway.
There is St. Johns County Road 210 (Nocatee Parkway) is not state maintained near Jacksonville.

How about Clark County 215/Northern/Western part of the Vegas Beltway/(the non-I-215 part)
Of the roughly 51 miles of the entire Las Vegas Beltway (I-215 and CC-215), only about 4 miles are maintained by NDOT: The portion from the I-515/US 95 to about 2 miles west, and the 2-mile portion between I-15 and the Warm Springs Rd interchange. The part of I-215 between these sections is currently owned and maintained by Clark County.

Summerlin Pkwy is maintained by the City of Las Vegas, interchanges and all. The area at the CC-215 interchange may be jointly maintained by Clark County. The first half mile or so near the US 95 interchange (within the ramp areas) may actually be maintained by NDOT.
"Airport Expressway (https://goo.gl/YSykgC)", the "freeway" connector between Seatac Airport and WA-518 may not count as a freeway, especially because of the 40 (instead of 60) limit, though it has a freeway look to it, and the exit ramps are marked with "EXIT" gore signs.
The road was built and maintained by the Port of Seattle. I guess the port got permission to use Clearview; all the road signs use the font.
Lake Shore Drive and the Skyway are maintained by CDOT and a private entity (Skyway Concessions) leasing it respectively in Chicago. Only within the last few years did CDOT finally put up MUTCD compliant signs along LSD.
LSD is very substandard as a freeway and without shoulders or regulation ramps is dangerous for high speeds. Despite the low speed limit (45?) it's average speed is way over 55.
The Skyway was marked "TO I-90" for a long time and only recently the "TO" signs were removed while exit tabs were installed on the signs. It also lacks shoulders as it is an older freeway.
Baltimore City, Maryland maintains all of I-83 (Jones Falls Expressway) within its city limits. The city also maintains the freeway part of U.S. 40 along Franklin Street (former I-170) and MD-295 (Baltimore-Washington Parkway) inside city limits.
Other Interstates in or passing through Baltimore City (I-95, I-395, I-695 and I-895) are considered toll maintenance, and thus maintained by the state through the Maryland Transportation Authority.
In Northern Virginia, the "free" Dulles Airport Access Road (unsigned VA-90004) legally for traffic to and from the airport only and the parallel Dulles Toll Road (VA-267) are maintained and operated by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA).

40 from the northern terminus to the Michigan Ave exit, 45 south of the Stevenson, not sure about the speed limit in between. I usually do 60 from Hollywood south.

That's because there was some uncertainty over whether the Skyway had ever been officially designated I-90.
Maybe it's a bit of a stretch calling it a freeway, but how about Veterans Memorial Parkway in Evansville? The only interchange is at the west end, at US-41 and I-69, and at the west end it becomes Riverside Drive, a surface street. In between, it is controlled access.
Most airport freeways leading in and out of the terminals are not state or even city maintained. The JFK access road in NYC is, I think, maintained not by NYCDOT or NYSDOT, but the PANYNJ due to them operating the airport.
Although not a freeway, in Mount Vernon, WA, there is a pseudo-interchange on Riverside Drive at the south end of the bridge over the Skagit River. This was put in when the bridge opened in 2003.

The only one that comes to mind for me on Long Island, ny is Suffolk county DPW maintained CR-97 Nicolls Rd which is sorta a freeway between green belt pkwy intersection just north of ny27 North to intersection with Suffolk county community college. The rest of the highway has at grade signalized intersections.
Westchester County maintains its stretch of the Bronx River Parkway. You can instantly tell the difference between state and county maintained parkways in Westchester based on the lane striping–NYSDOT uses the standard 10'—30' interval while Westchester uses 20'—20'.

Correct, and it's painfully obvious what City DOT maintains...those roads are a living museum, which is great for us roadgeeks, but really bad for driving on. I had to drive through a flood once (with Fire dept guidance) on the BW Pkwy...not fun...they ended up closing the road not long after I went through.

Yes to Lynchburg - once again the lack of maintenance is the giveaway...the Lynchburg Expressway was a mess when I lived there from 2005-2009. That said, I heard that they've updated a lot of the city's roads, and either added or are in the process of adding a new interchange with Odd Fellows Rd, so my info could be out of date. (How is 2009 nine years ago!?)

Who maintains the All American Freeway in Fayetteville, NC?
^ Unless they have an agreement with the local jurisdictions, it would be NCDOT, since the roadway is officially part of NCDOT's secondary road network (SR 1007 in this case). On base would be DOD, but I'm not sure where the transition would be, whether it's at the base gate or at the 295 interchange.

NCDOT has precedents with state-maintained unnumbered freeways, with Bryan Blvd and parts of Wendover Ave in Greensboro, and Wade Ave in Raleigh.

Pretty sure Fredericksburg maintains the US 1/VA 3 interchange, even though a lot of the signs in that area are VDOT installs. I think the same is true for the VA 3/US 17 Bus-VA 2 interchange.
Sam Jones Expressway in Indy before being downgraded to arterial. It never had a number, and was full freeway between I-465 and I-70 until the airport terminal relocated thus not making it the important freeway it used to be anymore.

Isn't it still the most direct mostly-freeway route from I-74 to the west into downtown? Seems like they should've squeezed in an SB-EB flyover at the interchange with 465.
The last that I heard, Campus Dr in Madison, WI is owned/maintained by the City of Madison.

No, that's farther north. Sam Jones is farther south leading to the old airport terminal area.

It being the fastest route, plus the heavy volumes of that movement necessitating a triple-left onto Sam Jones Expressway, suggests turning the road into a high-speed freeway-freeway link for those movements would be warranted.

This isn't a freeway though?
Oh, missed the section about single interchanges.

City of Tempe AZ: N. Mill Avenue/ W. Van Buren Street & W. Center Parkway
Adding to Virginia examples, the recent US-17 expansion to a freeway, and the VA-168 Chesapeake Expressway, both in Chesapeake, are maintained by the city. Interestingly enough, Chesapeake also built the US-17 expansion, and most of the Chesapeake Expressway themselves (with the Great Bridge Bypass in 1981 being the exception), most of it toll financed though. VDOT doesn't control anything south of I-64.
There used to be a few of them in the Twin Cities area...
The current US-169 between I-494 and I-94 started out as Hennepin-18 until they opened the new Bloomington Ferry Bridge in the late 1990s.
The "Crosstown" Freeway (current MN-62) used to be Hennepin-62. The expressway portion west of I-494 is still signed as Hennepin-62.
And Hennepin-122 in Minneapolis was a very tiny freeway until the LRT Green Line was built. Now it's an expressway.
And as for city-maintained, there's always Ayd Mill Rd. While it was never truly a freeway, it came damn close until they connected it back to I-35E and added signal lights.
EDIT: While signed as a state highway (MN-51), I also think Snelling Ave between Hamline U and the fairgrounds is also city-maintained.
EDIT 2:
There's also this interchange on Ramsey-33 (Pennsylvania Ave) https://www.google.com/maps/place/St+Paul,+MN/@44.9608402,-93.0980325,450m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x52b2d4cee4e9379f:0xc87291d23fda2e29!8m2!3d44.9537029!4d-93.0899578
