Interstate Freeway Ending

[someone17]

  Well, how do I describe this? I'm thinking of like, freeways that don't end in an interchange with other interstate highways, and end at a limited-access US/State highway at a traffic light or stop sign.

Interstate 90, in Seattle, ends at a traffic light with a city street just after it crosses over I-5. Technically WA-519, but you'd be hard pressed to find any evidence of that.

There is also a similar thread about boring interstate endings. It seems to encompass what you're looking for:

Nevada's Interstate 580 at the south end of Carson City.  It's a four-way signal with southbound US 395 to the left, westbound US 50 straight ahead and northbound Business US 395 (South Carson Street) to the right.  **Perhaps** by the late 2020s that will be converted to an SPUI, with no stop required to continue on to westbound US 50.

That one is about boring ends but did include a lot of surface street ends. Most of Illinois is covered but the famed Interstate  180 was only glanced at. It has 2 surface street ends an unmarked spur to Illinois 29 and the more formal end as it merges into Illinois 71. The purpose of the 29 spur is interesting. My research is it and the addition of a supplemental freeway was to appease the FHWA which was under heat for giving Illinois interstate funds for 180. This freeway was not on the original plan at the end of 1966.

Btw. I checked the older thread to avoid duplication . In That thread most Illinois interstates end at other interstates or other freeways and expressways like. 255 290 and 172. But the also missed 190 that ends at the arrivals and departures at Ohare.

65 used to end at a traffic light.

I think both ends of I-35 count.  Honestly, there are too many for me to try to list.  What about Interstate freeways that end at surface-street intersections that aren't US or state routes?  I-16 is one example.  What about Interstate non-freeways that end at surface-street intersections that aren't US or state routes?  I think that's a category of one, although I think its signage ends where it ceases to be a freeway, because probably almost nobody calls the Holland Tunnel "I-78."

Edit:  Wait, did I goof regarding I-16?  What's the deal with Route 25 in Georgia?

I-264 Va transitions to/from city streets at its east end.

I-55 in Memphis at the Crump Blvd. cloverleaf has its northbound freeway end at Riverside Drive, a local street.

I-170/MO's southern end is a stoplight with Eager Road and also the entrance to a shopping center. Southbound I-170 traffic basically ends at a Target store

Traffic movements to/from I-64/US 40 also used to have to use the light, but flyovers have since been constructed for the Freeway-Freeway movements

Before I saw the reply about I-170 in St. Louis, I was going to post about that myself. Oh well.

However...I've got an example that hasn't been mentioned on this thread yet. I-394 in Minnesota, coming in from the west, ends on North 4th Street in downtown Minneapolis (not far from Target Center).

I-95 dumps onto multilane US-1 as it transitions from The Brickell to South Dixie Highway.  Note that the southbound ramp from the Rickenbacker Causeway dumps onto The Brickell just immediately before the ramp off of I-95.  Things appear to be different since I worked there in the early/mid-1990s.  The northbound lanes of South Dixie still have street access (now RIRO), but the southbound lanes are limited access at street level until the 16th Avenue/3rd Avenue intersection.  The original intersection with SW 32nd Road is cut off on the northwest side of the dumpoff.

The Atlantic City Expressway ends at city streets in atlantic city.

Garden State Parkway on the south ends at local streets.

NJ55 ends at NJ47 after turning into a two lane road.

PA283 ends at a cloverleaf/Local streets at I283

I83 in baltimore ends on local streets.

What about Interstate non-freeways that end at surface-street intersections that aren't US or state routes?  I think that's a category of one, although I think its signage ends where it ceases to be a freeway, because probably almost nobody calls the Holland Tunnel "I-78."

The south end of I-37 might qualify for this, depending on where you decide the southern terminus is. I think TxDOT considers the I-37 designation to end at the US-181 exit, the last interchange. And that's the last place you see shields. But you can continue east for a few blocks on an at-grade, divided road posted by the city of Corpus Christi as "Interstate Hwy 37", which ends at a T junction at Shoreline Blvd, right on the shore of Corpus Christi Bay.

I-55 in Memphis at the Crump Blvd. cloverleaf has its northbound freeway end at Riverside Drive, a local street.

I don't want to be the annoying technicality guy, but really the I-55 freeway does not end there, it just turns onto the loop ramp.

No but it's where the southern freeway ends as  Riverside Drive continues what I-55 started in La.  The loop ramp is hardly freeway as it connects one freeway to another new one.

Yes it's not a terminus but the freeway part there does end with a break beforehand.

I-180 in Lincoln, NE drops you into a traffic light downtown.

The southern terminus of I-19 in Nogales AZ is an intersection where crossing traffic has a stop sign. The freeway part of I-19 anyway.

65 used to end at a traffic light.

At the northern terminus, I believe it still does.

[ilpt4u]

I think I-72's eastern end officially is I-57, and the University Ave Feeder into Champaign isn't officially I-72...but anyway, the Freeway does continue east of I-57 for about a mile or two to the stoplight at Country Fair Dr

According to this IDOT map, it does end at I-57.

It does, but...it used to have a light before US20.

I476 ends at a local road and a trumpet, on the northern end. Does that kind of count since the ramp's overpass does have mile markers on it for 476.

Illinois loves feeder ramps there is an entire thread on Great Lakes on just one but 88 really doesn't end at 80 . There is an 88 ends sign just past the cloverleaf so it simply becomes one of its old numbers Illinois 5
Also Interstate 2 becomes US 83.

In that vein, I-57 for now ends at US60, and just turns into a 4 lane rural expressway with cross traffic after the southern cloverleaf.

I-105 in Eugene OR ends with a stoplight and a connection to SR 99/former US 99 on the west end.  The east end of I-105 is the interchange with I-5.  Freeway numbering then switches from I-105/SR 126 to just SR 126 as the freeway heads east into Springfield OR.
