I'm going to nominate NH 12/Belghoria Expressway's crossing of the Hooghly River (Ganges distributary) in Kolkata. At this point, the Hooghly's already about a half-mile wide.

Except for the part that is west of the Escarpment in the City of Fond du Lac itself, I have always liked the drive on WI 23 between Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, WI, both directions.

So all that's missing from your list is HI? That's not a bad list either!

I've technically been to Hawaii, but only as a layover at HNL. I haven't driven or ridden in a car there alas.

[Max Rockatansky]

I would think most people here would pick H3 for Hawaii.  Me personally I was more impressed by Pali Highway since it had stunning overlook from the ruins of the original road.  Hana Highway is my personal favorite and feels like it is from an earlier era which barely clings to stability.
