Sidewalks on Interstates

So I was in Rapid City today, and I noticed that the last 1/10 of a mile or so on I-190 had sidewalks on both sides.

GMSV:https://www.google.com/maps/@44.0851026,-103.2337902,3a,75y,284.82h,73.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sPak0Tq76McEx0lsv3sVqDA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 (they put in the other side last year, and the StreetView car hasn't been in the area to see it)

Is there any other interstate where this happens?

East end of Interstate H-1, for a very short distance between the WB off-ramp/EB on-ramp for exit 27, and the at-grade intersection with Ainakoa Ave.

Also some of the non-freeway paper Interstates in Alaska and Puerto Rico, which aren't required to meet normal Interstate design standards.

As far of the I-95 Scudders Falls Bridge project, they will be building a sidewalk/bicycle path across the Delaware. This will be separated from I-95 by a jersey barrier.

George Washington Bridge has them grandfathered in.  I-291 in Connecticut has a multi-use path on one side.

I feel like this thread already exists.

There's are sidewalks on the I-66 bridge over the Potomac.  I took the wrong one once and ended up running across the GW Parkway to the Theodore Roosevelt memorial.

I-84 has a pedestrian/bike path at the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.  There are also a whole batch of parkways in New York with bike paths.

Several places in New York City have them. And I'm not just talking about places where Interstates travel on city streets.

14th Street Bridge (I-395) as well:

I-80 across the Delaware River on the eastbound side.  This is also where the Appalachian Trail crosses the river.

The Nature Boy

There are sidewalks on one of the overpasses on I-295 in Portland, Maine.

Ben Franklin Bridge (I-676) has a pedestrian walkway. 
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

Both the Ft. Pitt (I-376) & Ft. Duquesne (I-279) bridges have sidewalks.  They're built on the outer side of the piers (and the Ft. Duquesne Bridge one is a lot nicer)
I don't have opinions anymore. All I know is that no one is better than anyone else, and everyone is the best at everything

I-494 across the Minnesota River has a separated bike/ped trail crossing on the south side of the bridge.  The trail extends about a mile in each direction from the bridge along I-494, where it then connects to local accesses.

The brand-new Daniel Boone Bridge over the Missouri River on Highway 40 (I-64) in Chesterfield, MO will have them as soon as they can get them tied in to the two trails on either side of the river.

Also, the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge has sidewalks, but they no longer connect to anything.
A freeway is a freeway. We could cheaply build many new Interstates if it weren't for the nitty-gritty intricacy of Interstate Standards.

Bridges usually have sidewalks, folks. At least in my area, they do.

The point of this thread should be to showcase sidewalks along interstates that aren't passing over a bridge. Lots of bridges have sidewalks.

The aforementioned I-494 trail is mostly on land, with a bridge crossing in the middle, but the trail no doubt wouldn't have had a purpose without the bridge crossing.

FWIW, there are several miles of one-way frontage roads along the Chicago expressways (especially the Dan Ryan, I-57 and the Ike), and nearly all of them have some sort of sidewalk accommodation on them, much closer to the freeway than they would be in a rural section with no frontage road.

I-190 North and South Grand Island Bridges have sidewalks on both sides.
What's not to like about highways and bridges, intersections and interchanges, rails and planes?

the replacement Scudder Falls Bridge (I-95/future I-295 PA/NJ) will have pedestrian and bicycle accommodations.

Alright, pardon the thread jacking, but...



...are there any freeways that have sidewalks like this? (NOT crossing over a bridge??)

The first two posts above involve (probably the first, definitely the second) sidewalks next to travel lanes and which are not on bridges.

And those are very good examples. But this thread seems to be all about bridges. I'm fairly certain that SD Mapman (who needs to pipe in here and control his thread) meant sidewalks next to freeways that are not on bridges.
