2-lanes divided highway

I spotted this shot of Campagna route (PQ-277) at St-Henri near Levis and Quebec City

This gap of road is a 2-lane divided highway. I wondered if there some other 2-lanes divided highway of the same kind (besides some local streets, that one is a more major artery)?

53rd Ave in Bettendorf, IA is 2-lanes (not a highway, but still a major road), but once that part of town grows a bit more, it should be widened. At the rate it's going, I'll say 2-3 more years

There is already some sprawl underway west of that roundabout. It should only be a matter of time before its expanded. Plus the 53rd Avenue interchange project with I-74 is set to begin soon, which will only make that route more popular as a through road. My wife remembers when there was nothing on Middle Road out that way, and its surprising to me that the road remains vastly rural through to Interstate 80.

I93 in Franconia Notch, NH is one of them. The speed limit is 45 MPH.
I like all of this. I like va sr 28 to be an interstate highway.

MN65 throught Mora is 2 lane divided. DESPERATELY needs to be widened to 5 lanes.

US 6 on Cape Cod between Dennis and the Orleans rotary is a super-2 that's divided. Same goes for a short section of US 44 near Middleboro.

I don't get out there much, but I can tell by seeing satellite pics and maps throughout the years that population in Northern Bettendorf is exploding.

The MD 90 Ocean City Expwy. is a divided two-lane highway.  Woefully inadequate for handling all the summer weekend beach traffic.

Route 37 between Mare Island and Sears Point used to be a three-lane road with suicide lane in the middle, but due to safety concerns is now two lanes with a Jersey barrier separating both directions.

CT/RI 78 is 2 lanes divided for its entire length. It opened in 1975 as undivided (plain double yellow line). However, after several head-on collisions, the states added a "chatter strip" (1979) and finally a jersey barrier (1981).

Albeit it's only divided by a little speed hump of raised pavement in the center w plastic yellow posts spaced every 30 or so feet.  technically you could cross from EB to WB side in almost any vehicle without any real challenge, but yes a super two none the less.

US 1 between Florida City and the Keys was/is being rebuilt as a Super-2 with a jersey barrier median (and a rather neat interchange towards the southern end)

This project has been completed.  I mentioned it, along with a link to the article in the Florida thread.

I didn't even see that.  I saw it on a completely different thread.
