as far as I know freeway require that there are no intersections and access is via ramp. but this independent from bike access. Know one example where freeway ends just for a single access without ramp and starts again after ~ 100m yes usually these interruptions are tagged as trunk. US 101 in california is a good example. It changes from Primary or trunk to motorway many times. mainly the northern part is open for bikes.
