Thanks for the correction, I had a Brain F*rt on that one, just couldn't find Parkways in the Memory bank :)--
The Wilbur Cross Parkway in CT (state rd 15) is autos only. The Highway and most importantly, the unique architecture of the overpass bridges were built during the depression which was part of FDR's public works programs.
