A small segment of the George Washington Memorial Parkway lies on Columbia Island in the Potomac, so the road therefore crosses from Virginia to DC and back again. The line is unsigned and most motorists (probably most residents of the DC area) have no idea that (a) it's an island or (b) it's in DC.

US-15 from Pennsylvania to New York was mentioned. It's also a freeway where it crosses from Maryland into Pennsylvania (though it becomes a non-freeway very quickly on the Maryland side).

When complete, US-24 at the Ohio/Indiana border
US-24 was opened at the line October 2009, but it's only an expressway in Ohio.

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned US 31 (IN-MI).

Also:

-US 15 (NY-PA)
-US 61/151 (IA-WI)
-(Proposed - MN 36-WI 64)
-US 34 (IA-IL)
-US 36 (KS-MO)

If something crosses a state line, it's interstate by definition.

Had just thought about that one, as well as two others:

WV/PA 43
US 25 between North and South Carolina.

Technically, I think it was only designed as an expressway in Indiana too, and by luck it has almost no at-grade intersections.  If the speed limit is 60MPH, that would be evidence that INDOT doesn't consider it a freeway. 
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

And to stay on topic, I submit US 50 from Vincennes, Indiana to Lawrenceville, Illinois as an example.

I was about to call bullshit, then realized I haven't been east of Lawrenceville on 50, which means I have only driven the non-freeway portion.

Barely.  It's only got one interchange in Illinois (Gulfport).

US 24 in Indiana is being built basically as a freeway with the exception of the Interstate 469 interchange. The 60 MPH speed limit thing might only be temporary since the current freeway standard goes for only a mile, so there isn't much time to get to 65. We'll see after they open the rest of the highway what they make the speed limit.

US 395 north of Reno crossing into CA

Not quite. There is a median crossing on US 395 no more than two-tenths of a mile into CA. The crossing is used for a frontage/access road on the west side of the highway. There are 2-3 similar crossovers all the way up to CA 70/Hallelujah Junction (although the junction itself is freeway grade) before 395 becomes a two-lane highway.

I guess it depends on where you consider the "end" to be.  I say that it does cross the state line as a freeway but the freeway ends at the intersection.

US 23 crosses the Michigan-Ohio border, though only for a short distance on the Ohio side before it duplexes with I-475 in the Toledo area.

US 80 is also a freeway crossing the Alabama-Georgia border.

This one is kind of cheating but US 20/75 at the Nebraska/Iowa state line.  Heading east in Nebraska, US 20 becomes I-129.  US 75 merges with I-129/US 20.  The roads cross into Iowa, I-129 ends and US 20/75 continue on thier own as a freeway for a few miles.

I-129 doesn't end at the state line.  It ends at I-29 in Iowa.

That one's a bit of a stretch, at least on the PA side.

Had the 202 highway continued from PA 32 south as originally planned, then it would possibly count; but its Delaware River crossing is indeed a toll facility (though one-way) so that nulls it.  I believe the OP's asking about non-Interstate FREEWAYS that cross state lines with NO toll facilities at its borders.

A freeway can be tolled. Read up on your definitions.

IMHO, that one (the US 2 Bong Bridge) is on the 'iffy' side, as US 2's interchange at I-35 includes an intersection left turn (MN-bound US 2 to SB I-35).  Yes, OTOH, its Wisconsin approach is a very short true freeway that has(d?) aspirations of becoming something much more.  The bridge also includes a walkway/bicycle path that is separated from the Wisconsin-bound side by a standard Jersey barrier, but that does not, in my mind, detract from freeway standards.

I don't think the OP was saying that I-129 ends at I-29. I think he was saying the route crosses the river into Iowa and continues to I-29, where I-129 ends but the freeway continues. At least that's the way I interpreted it.
