Hiking and cycling closed roadways

[Max Rockatansky]

This topic came up in the "Minor things that bother you" thread.  What "closed roadways" have you hiked or cycled on?  For clarification, I'm referring to roadways which are closed due to things like mudslides or fire rather than being permanently abandoned.

One of the most significant examples I have applicable to this topic is when I hiked closed Foresta Road from the Yosemite National Park border heading west.  Said road was closed after receiving major fire damage in 1990. In particular the deck of the Lower Foresta Falls Bridge was stripped away, and the corridor was hit with several landslides. 

This is the much longer thread I posted on Forest Road:

Here are couple other closed corridors that I've at least partially hiked or cycled on:

-  Dirt CA 173
-  CA 39 below Islip Saddle
-  Old Ridge Route (old US 99)

I have Ponderosa Way east of Mokelumne Hill on my list of closed roads to hike.  The North Fork Mokelumne Truss Bridge burned a couple years ago and the road deck was never repaired.  I'm thinking that I might be able to fly my drone to the burned out bridge from CA 26 on the Calaveras side.

Some minor examples for me:

-- Part of Park Central Rd. in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland was closed to motor vehicles by a fallen tree. The trunk was too thick to drive over, but I was able to step over it.

-- Part of I-80 business loop in Elko NV was closed for roadwork, but I was able to walk through the construction zone to clinch the route.

Speaking the technically "not abandoned" portion of CA 39 at Islip Saddle I found Corco's post which featured his hike on it:

On my Ohio River crossings clinching trip several years ago, I had to walk across the easternmost Neville Island bridge due to it being closed for construction.

Not exactly "closed," but I've walked both the graded-but-never-built ghost ramps for the northern extension of the Taconic Parkway where it meets I-90 in Chatham, NY, and the now-removed ghost ramp at the 93/95 junction in Canton, MA, that would've been the ramp from never-built 95 SB to 93 NB. The latter was in 2006 or 2007, and I'm glad I did it while I had the chance since the bridges for that ramp were removed only a year or two later.

I've walked some on the closed section of Bankhead Parkway here in Huntsville going-up the backside of Monte Sano, but I didn't go all the way up it. I have also walked on some abandoned sections of road around the city, such as this out towards Triana and this near downtown.

I also once walked this former alignment of US 98 near Port St. Joe, FL, about a decade ago now:
