Here's one over I-890: http://goo.gl/maps/2CdJv

The NJ Turnpike has a high one near Englewood, NJ between NJ 4 and Broad Avenue. It is that arch bridge you see before you enter the GWB tangle heading north on I-95.

Many of your additions beat mine, but this is Heatherdell Road over the Sprain Brook Parkway:

NYSDOT Region #8 told me personally in a letter that the clearance was 43 feet and 6 inches.
Although Ugly Bridges takes a few inches away from the DOT:

--- Quote from: Some_Person on February 08, 2013, 11:05:08 PM ---Most separate-grade overpasses are in the 15-20' range above the road/highway. However, due to higher land or a hill nearby, some highways have overpasses that are very tall, here's an interesting example I have: http://goo.gl/maps/ifFE6 (I-476 over US-6/11). I don't know the exact height but it looks like it could be at least 100 feet. Anyone else have cool examples to share?

That one always impressed me ever since I was 10 years old.
A couple off the top of my head...
The overpass just west of exit 15 on I-64 in Huntington, WV. (West Pea Ridge Rd.)
I-26/US 23 over Big Laurel Road just north of exit 3 in NC. (Might be 150-200 ft. high)

Never saw it in person, but the Mulholland overpass over I-405 looks pretty high, though it's gonna be replaced soon.
There's also the arched railroad overpass over the Arroyo Seco Pkwy.
