Comment from Roadsguy
It's not a motorway just because it goes on a bridge. It's a motorway because it has direct connections to motorways, especially the Willis Avenue Bridge, which connects on both ends. You can go from Harlem River Drive over the bridge to northbound I-87 without leaving a controlled-access, grade-separated road restricted to motor vehicles.

To be fair, the Willis Avenue Bridge is movable, which precludes motorway classification IMO.
How often do the bridges over the Harlem River get raised? Is there a somewhat consistent schedule, or is it more of a once-in-a-blue-moon thing?

Well movable bridges on even Interstate highways aren't unprecedented, even on relatively new bridges like the Woodrow Wilson Bridge on the Capital Beltway. Even I-278 nearby crosses the Bronx River on a drawbridge. At that point it's less "there's a gap in the freeway here" and more "substandard freeways occasionally have movable bridges on them."
At minimum the bridges should be mapped as trunk roads.

Just because a road has to ramps to two different motorway doesn't make it a motorway right? This seems to just be Willis Avenue on a bridge that has two connections in a short span. 125th street spans the distance between two different motorways and has nearby connections to them but thats also just a regular road right?
