Delta Highway in Eugene OR is a short connector freeway between I-105/SR 126 and SR 569 (Beltline Road).

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

Campus Dr in Madison, WI is a short un-numbered freeway.
One interchange does not a freeway make.

Agreed. Personally, I'd normally insist on at least three interchanges in a row, with no at-grade intersections in-between.

That disqualifies the Circumferential Highway in Nashua, NH.

In Vancouver BC, Golden Ears Way (between 192 Street and Lougheed Highway) is a freeway. No route number (it's maintained by Translink, not the MOT). It has signals at either end of the main bridge, but there are plenty of ramps and divided junctions in between.

If it spurs off another freeway I'd say even one more interchange is enough.

unnamed freeway near Chicago beginning at Lake-Cook Road
Any more?

The freeway stretches of Palatine Road in Chicagoland.

The recently completed (for now) Northern Parkway west of Phoenix.
Plans call for future sections of it to have at-grade intersections though, but for now it counts as a freeway in my book.

That's not really a freeway so much as two exits at Milwaukee Avenue (US-45/IL-21) and Wolf Road.

There's a freeway portion of the Tisdale Parkway in Tulsa.

Can the segment connecting I-290 to MA 85 be considered a freeway segment (as it definitely would be if it was part of I-290)?

Note: Google Maps is wrong; this segment actually is unnumbered.

I can think of several. None of these have any at-grade intersections, but most do not have exit numbers. I don't know where 'Parkway' fits; meaning is it closer to 'expressway' or 'freeway'?

Lincoln M. Alexander Pkwy, Red Hill Valley Pkwy, Don Valley Pkwy

Gardiner Exwy (no at-grades on this one either; entire length is above grade).

None of these have numbers I think because they are maintained by their respective cities, and not the MTO.

How about the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. I have been on it a few times and never noticed a route number.

KEVIN_224

The portion of that not maintained by the National Parks Service is MD Route 295.

I would think that Bryan Blvd in Greensboro, NC counts as well. Unless it has a hidden designation?

I believe it has an unposted secondary route designation.

Wade Avenue has an unposted secondary route designation too.  As I posted in the "giving unnumbered freeways numbers" thread, I would prefer NC 54 follow I-40 to it and then follow it past I-440 and be extended east to US 70/NC 50 at Glenwood Ave.

All-American Freeway used to "qualify", but it was given the NC 555 designation last year.

You beat me to it. I'll add to that, Delta Highway is maintained by Lane County (or maybe the city of Eugene, but I think it's the county; Not ODOT). Beltine was originally also county maintained, although according to Wikipedia became a state highway in 1978. OR-569 was not signed until quite recently. I lived in Eugene from around 2003-2006, and it never was signed with a route number then. It is now signed as 569, although I assume locals still call it "The Beltline" or similar.

Does the freeway that connects to the airport in Denver have a number?

No, Pena Blvd is not a state highway so it doesn't have a number. It's owned by the City of Denver and plowed by airport crews.

I still say that CDOT and the City of Denver should make it an extension of I-225 since to reach I-225 from Pena or vice-versa, you barely have a chance to take a breath on I-70 before you are exiting off for the other highway.

Exactly.

Other Ontario examples include Allen Road (Toronto), Burlington Street (Hamilton), Highbury Avenue (London), EC Row Expressway (Windsor), and the Queen Elizabeth Way (MTO).

I believe it has an unposted secondary route designation.

Almost every state maintained road in North Carolina has a "secondary route designation" though. If we started counting NC SRs as "numbered highways" then the only non-numbered highways would be roads maintained by private landowners.
