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.

At least on the East Coast, it's relatively rare for a freeway overpass to have sidewalks. The sidewalks that I mentioned in Portland actually seem to be a pedestrian connection between two exists.

No, that is not I-676. Google is wrong - that is unnumbered Callowhill Street.
You are wrong. That is I-676 (but not SR 0676).

...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.

Yes, that is what I meant originally, just for clarification.

You're not going to get many of those unless you include shared-use paths.

That being said, the new Tappan Zee Bridge will have a path on the SB span. I don't picture many people using the entire thing on foot due to length. I-84 has one on the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. I-278 has them on the Triboro.

If we're including paths on land separated from the expressway by only a Jersey barrier, I-190 in Buffalo has one either immediately adjacent or down an embankment near the Peace Bridge and again between NY 198 and NY 325, plus the aforementioned bridges.

Of course, if you included 400-series highways, the Peace Bridge and Rainbow Bridge have sidewalks, the Peace Bridge having no form of physical separation other than the curb.

My understanding is that I-676 (NJ) ends at the state line and I-676 (PA) ends at I-95.

Depending on how you define I-676, This may be an example:

Regardless of what highway it is (or isn't), it's 6th Street, not Callowhill.

It probably depends on who (and what) you listen to.  That probably matches PennDOT logs, but their own signage (I'm assuming it's theirs, might be DRPA) unambiguously sends I-676 down 6th to the bridge.
