*Interstate 310 currently ends at U.S. Route 90 west of the city. Originally, Interstate 410/The Dixie Freeway was to be the southern bypass of New Orleans and connect what are now Interstates 310 and 510, but it was cancelled in 1977 due to environmental lawsuits [cite web|url=http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/neworleans.htm|title=The Second Battle of New Orleans: Vieux Carré Riverfront Expressway (I-310)|publisher=Federal Highway Administration] and the miles were transferred to Interstate 49. [cite web|url=http://www.kurumi.com/roads/3di/i410.html#410la|publisher=kurumi.com|title=Interstate 410] However, when it was built, mainline stubs were built at the southern terminus in the hope that a continuation would eventually be built. These stubs will be utilized when Interstate 49 is extended to New Orleans, as the current plan has I-49 routed just south of the I-310/U.S. 90 interchange.

*Interstate 195 has an interchange with the Maine Turnpike/Interstate 95 at its western terminus. As originally constructed, both ramps were clover ramps, but subsequently, the clover ramp handling traffic exiting the turnpike was replaced between 1988 and 1998, [cite web|url=http://www.terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?T=2&S=13&Z=19&X=239&Y=3012&W=1&qs=%7csaco%7cme%7c|title=4 km N of Biddeford, Maine, United States 7/1/1988|publisher=TerraServer] turning the interchange into a trumpet. The grade for the original clover ramp remains. Also, the eastbound ramp from the Turnpike crosses a bridge meant for two lanes, but only has one and shifts over to the left, as can be seen from the link.

*Interstate 335, a spur of Interstate 35W, was proposed to connect I-35W with Interstate 94 just north of downtown. The project got as far as right-of-way acquisition and grading for and paving of exit ramps at the east end on I-35W before it got cancelled due to local opposition. The southbound lanes of I-35W contain the vestiges of an entrance ramp from I-335 and a ramp to I-335 from the northbound lanes is visible despite having been demolished.

*The railroad bridge that formerly carried U.S. Highway 80 across the Mississippi River at Vicksburg is now closed to automobiles. There is also an abandoned toll booth on the Mississippi side.

*Several highways were destroyed when the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway was built through east Mississippi. These roads were either bypassed with new spans or deemed too unimportant to bridge across the waterway. Sections of MS 364, MS 178, MS 182, and old alignments of U.S. Highway 45 and MS 50 are discontinuous at the waterway.

John Sevier Highway, but construction has been stalled for several years now, and the parkway now terminates at Sevierville Pike. All traffic enters or leaves the parkway north of Sevierville Pike, but the bridge over the parkway has been completed, and the mainline extends under the bridge, terminating abruptly.

*Just east of the Interstate 40/Interstate 275 interchange along the westbound lanes are a three stub ramps. The first was intended to be an expansion of the mainlanes through downtown and the second two were to be an ramps to and from West Magnolia Avenue.

Memphis:

*Three pavement stubs exist as a result of a cancelled freeway on the north side of the city. One stub exists just after the Hernando DeSoto Bridge off the elevated ramp from eastbound Interstate 40 to Riverside Drive/Front Street. The ramp may not be visible to drivers, as jersey barriers block it off; however, the unfinished ramp is visible from ground level. [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&q=Hernando+DeSoto+Bridge&ie=UTF8&near=Memphis+Tennessee&ll=35.152681,-90.053928&spn=0.000855,0.001722&t=k&om=1] On the Jackson Avenue to westbound Interstate 40 on-ramp is another ramp stub.

*Interstate 40 was planned to go through the city's Overton Park, but public opposition, combined with a court victory by opponents, forced abandonment of the plans. The eastern portion of the road had already been built inside the Interstate 240 loop; the extant highway is currently in use and is now named Sam Cooper Boulevard, while the northern portion of the I-240 loop was redesignated as I-40. [cite web|first=Sandor|last=Gulyas|url=http://www.roadfan.com/memtran.html|title=Memphis Highways|publisher=roadfan.com|] [http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.1493,-90.0204&spn=0.004395,0.010804&t=h]

*A stub ramp exists at the I-40 / I-240 interchange in East Memphis. It will eventually allow for a two-lane flyover from the right side of Interstate 40 westbound to the left side of Interstate 40 westbound. A corresponding flyover in the eastbound direction will also be built (this will be the fourth level of the interchange).

*At the intersection of Interstate 55 and U.S. Highway 51 / Elvis Presley Boulevard, a loop ramp has been eliminated. The ramp ran from northbound I-55 to southbound US 51 and was eliminated during the widening of I-55 in 2001 due to weaving conflicts with an on-ramp from Brooks Road immediately before the loop.

*Similarly, a loop ramp from northbound I-55 to westbound TN 175 / Shelby Drive was eliminated as part of the widening.

Nashville
*The western intersection of Interstate 40 and Briley Parkway contains two stub ramps that will eventually carry traffic from eastbound Interstate 40 to northbound Briley Parkway and vice-versa. A pylon in the median of I-40 is further evidence for one of the flyovers.

Cumberland Gap
*The Cumberland Gap Tunnel replaced the two lane U.S. Highway 25E over the Gap to allow four lanes of traffic to travel the route. The existing road was closed except for a short section used by The National Park Service. The pavement was recently removed for more of a historic look.

In Burlington:

*At the west end of Interstate 189 at U.S. Route 7, there are some ramp stubs and about a half mile of an unused highway west of that interchange. There are plans for this to be part of a boulevard into downtown Burlington.

In Bennington:

*There is a very unusual incomplete fused double trumpet interchange with U.S. Route 7 and Vermont Route 279. There are ramp stubs for a planned extension of Route 279 to Vermont Route 9 although the interchange will be reconfigured when it is built.

West of Rutland:

*On U.S. Route 4 at the New York state line, there is grading for a trumpet interchange with Vermont Route 4A. Because U.S. 4 is a 2-lane road in New York, the freeway in Vermont ends there, and Vermont Route 4A has an ordinary intersection with U.S. 4.

Milwaukee:
*The proposed Stadium Freeway was to have a southern terminus at Interstate 894/Interstate 43 in southern Milwaukee. While the freeway was never built south of National Ave, a graded ramp exists just east of W. Loomis Rd. The ramp was to come from 894/43 eastbound going north. It was a complete interchange, but one ramp was demolishedcite web|first=Christopher|last=Bessert|publisher=Wisconsin Highways|title=Milwaukee Freeways|url=http://www.wisconsinhighways.org/milwaukee/index.html] (it appears it was a flyover as the top level) and there is a hint of a left-exit ramp just west of the proposed interchange. Other ramps exist at this unusually wide interchange and lead to and from a Park & Ride and the left on-ramp from the Park & Ride heading east hints at a planned major interchange. Seen here. [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=w+loomis+rd+and+s+35th+st.+greenfield,+wi&ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=42.962382,-87.963227&spn=0.003674,0.010815&t=h&om=1]

*The Stadium Freeway (signed U.S. Route 41 in this section) was not completed to its planned northern terminus either. It currently ends at Lisbon Road with a wide median and pavement stubs. [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Milwaukee,+WI+53226,+United+States+of+America&ie=UTF8&ll=43.058698,-87.971027&spn=0.003332,0.007296&t=k&z=17&iwloc=addr&om=1] It was to meet the proposed and planned Park Freeway West in this area and travel northwest for about a mile and head north, intersecting the Bay and Fond du Lac Freeway on its proposed alignment to Interstate 43 (North-South Freeway) in Ozaukee County, where it would end. The extension north of Lisbon Rd. was cancelled in 1974.

*Because a part of the Lake Freeway was canceled after it was planned, [cite web|first=Christopher|last=Bessert|publisher=Wisconsin Highways|title=Milwaukee Freeways|url=http://www.wisconsinhighways.org/milwaukee/system_map.html] extra pavement that was built in anticipation of the northerly continuation, named the "Downtown Loop Closure," sits unused. In one form it is a ramp stub that was to carry the northbound lanes and in another it is a wide bridge that carries less traffic (than originally intended) from Lincoln Memorial Drive to southbound Interstate 794. [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=milwaukee,+wi&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=43.034819,-87.899884&spn=0.001921,0.003648&z=18&iwloc=addr]

Elkhorn:
*U.S. Route 12 abruptly ends at Wisconsin State Highway 67 just north of the city. Northbound lanes must exit and the mainline continues for about 50 yards. Southbound lanes actually utilize an underpass that was built to carry U.S. 12 northwest toward Whitewater. More unused pavement exists as a never completed on-ramp from southbound U.S. 12 to Wisconsin 67 and an on-ramp (broken up by the operational "flyunder" ramp) from Wisconsin 67 to northbound U.S. 12. Grading is evident on the west side of the interchange. The unbuilt expressway was to be part of a Madison to Chicago route that was limited by Illinois' participation.cite web|url=http://www.wisconsinhighways.org/listings/WiscHwys10-19.html#US-012|title=Highways 10 through 19|publisher=Wisconsin Highways|first=Christopher|last=Bessert|] [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=elkhorn,+wi&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=42.698349,-88.541243&spn=0.006702,0.014591&z=16&iwloc=addr]

Genoa City:
*The southern terminus of the interstate quality U.S. Route 12 ends just east of the city. Southbound lanes ext onto a ramp with an interchange with Wisconsin State Highway 120. Northbound lanes merge onto a stub just before a Welcome to Wisconsin rest area. U.S. 12 was to be a part of a a fully-controlled access freeway from Madison to Chicago, with a connection to the Illinois Tollway System at the state line. There is grading south of the interchange as well.
