I was inspired to make this post by a road I've been on many times over the years, in a city I'm familiar with.
At first glance, when you look at a map of Minneapolis, it appears that I-94 is concurrent with 35W for about a mile on the east side of downtown before the latter road swings north to cross the river - however, when you actually drive through the area, you realize that 35W isn't concurrent with 94 at all - rather, the two highways remain in separate rights-of-way and just happen to run parallel for a short stretch.
Throughout the country, what are some other examples of "pseudo-concurrencies" - that is to say, pairs of highways that happen to parallel one another closely enough such that, on a map of the area, they appear as though they overlap, but don't actually do so in reality?
See NY 34 and NY 31 in Weedsport, NY, that run a block away from each other. NYSDOT maintains the blocks in between.
I-295 and the NJ Turnpike, especially in areas of Camden & Burlington County. Many not-to-scale maps will only show one or the other.
Florida's Turnpike and I-95 north of Palm Beach Gardens to the St. Lucie River.
I have two great examples from the western suburbs of Chicago: It seems that I-290 and I-294 between IL 64/North Avenue and the eastern end of I-88 would be concurrent with each other, but each maintains its own ROW throughout, with the former being a free route and the latter a toll road. Also, I-88 and I-355, while both being toll roads, do not use the exact alignment, but also maintain their separate paths for the half-mile or so of their un-concurrency, which is bookended by ramps between each other.
I-91 and CT 15 come very close in Meriden and Hartford.

I-85 at least twice. Once with I-285 south of Atlanta. And again with I-73 south of Greensboro.

I'll just quote what I mentioned there because the same place came to mind when I read this thread:

It's really a slightly convoluted interchange more than a case of two freeways running parallel to each other, but the odd layout of I-85 and US-74 near Kings Mountain, North Carolina (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2484523,-81.3025548,15.88z), comes to mind. Eastbound US-74 runs between I-85's two carriageways, while southbound I-85 runs between US-74's two carriageways.
Garden State Parkway and US 9 in Woodbridge, NJ..
US 12 and US 20 through part of Gary, IN?

Just south of the OP example, I-35W runs in the median of MN-62.
