Thanks for all the advice. I ended up crossing at the Roselle bridge, and using the stoplights to time my trip. The light at the south end of the Roselle bridge turns red for long enough that I can make it past the right-turn-lane without having to worry about cars, and from there on the shoulder is wide enough for me to ride inside. After the bridge, it's actually a rather smooth trip. :D

Interstate has a very specific meaning in America and I was very confused as to why people were advising the o.p. to get out there on what should be a limited access roadway.
