Started a list of publicly-accessible roads which go under airport runways/taxiways. This excludes those which require special access privileges, FAA clearance, some of which don't have any name or never directly leave the airport. Roads range from interstate highways, US Routes, state roads, and others are just locally-named roads. As usual, they may be closed and you may be subject to potential nonsense.
I listed them alphabetical by airport codes, because not all airports begin with city/region name. (Some names less official than others, for brevity.)

Just misses it, but I suppose it's planning for the future.
VA-118 runs under the northeast end of runway 06/24 at Roanoke Blacksburg Regional Airport (ROA):

In addition to Jeff Fuqua Blvd in Orlando, there's another road to the east called Heintzelman Blvd that passes under some taxiways. https://www.google.com/maps/@28.4366906,-81.2884781,16.88z
Also, I can confirm that I-190 in Chicago is still signed as an Interstate.
MKE, WI 38/S. Howell Ave runs under a runway/taxiway.
KJHW: Chautauqua County, NY:
3374 W Oak Hill Rd

Can confirm that both I-190 at ORD and I-678 at JFK extend underneath the taxiways. Both interstates end at the central terminal area of the respective airport.
This also feeds into another curious little bit of trivia - there are only three airports in the country that have an interstate highway ending directly at the terminal area. JFK and ORD are two of them. The third is... BWI.
Included MKE, ROA, and JHW - the last one is like ROC, they're close enough that they're definitely on the runway embankment, but on the "threshold", so I included them with notations.

Ah, I always figured the signage on both of those was more for a matter of convenience. Always wondered where I-678 truly begins and ends; do all those access roads count as unlabeled "exits" so it can be a true loop?
I do not see Nashville in the list. I remember driving under one of its taxiways in 1990.
Edit: My bad, I did not see it near the top as N comes after M usually in the alphabet.
Denver used to do so before it was relocated. I-70 crossed under a runway there.

I went alphabetical by airport code, as some of the full airport names don't start with the city/area names.
So Nashville gets an upgrade, and Calgary has to board on stand-by.

Just a list correction -- road passing under the runway is Lewis Reef Rd., which connects to but is not part of the Gravina Island Highway (https://goo.gl/maps/uMAJo8HqwgRwen4u8). Lewis Reef connects the GIH to the airport terminal, and to the airport ferry.
BTW, good that a GMSV camera car made it out to the GIH, before I did.

It's not a loop. The official "mile 0" of I-678 is in the middle of the tangle of ramps where it and the JFK Expressway meet, which is roughly in the center of the terminal area.
I-190, likewise, does not include the loop through the terminals. It ends where the loop begins.

Okay, on it.
At CAE (Columbia, SC Metropolitan Airport), there is a bridge over SC 302 for the UPS regional air hub that I assume is used to somehow transport packages b/w the planes on one side of the road and the sorting facility on the other. I can't recall if I have ever seen planes on the sorting facility side of the road, but the bridge does seem to be large enough to carry a plane across if necessary.

BLV - Scott Air Force Base/Mid-America Airport in St Clair County, IL (BLV is a reference to nearby Belleville, IL, but really the Air Base/Airport is between the towns of Shiloh and Mascoutah, IL)
East Drive runs under the Taxiway between the Parallel Runways 14R/32L and 14L/32R
I am not 100% sure if that part of East Dr is fully Publicly Accessible - it appears to be behind the Gate/Checkpoint on Seibert Rd/Scott Dr from the East/IL 158 or Charles Ln to Kentucky St/Superior St from the South/IL 161 on the military base side of the airfield
Not sure if this counts... I-73 in Greensboro passes under a runway bridge that is currently unused, but would be used in the future if a new runway were to be constructed at Piedmont-Triad. This was built in 2017.
LAX: You counted Sepulveda Blvd (CA 1)'s undercrossing of the runways, but didn't list World Way West's undercrossing of two taxiways on the west side opposite the main terminals. I think that's still public access?
RDU: John Brantley Blvd, the main public road to the airport, goes under a taxiway as it approaches the airport from the south. At the north end, West International Drive goes under two taxiways; N Fuel Rd (AFAIK technically public access even though in practice only used by general aviation owners) also goes under one.
Is that - four undercrossings on three separate roads - the most of any airport?

Newark, NJ when it had its original Control Tower. Tower Road, to access it, crossed under a taxiway to get to the parking lot for FAA Controllers to park. And yes, it was open to the public despite the tower not being open to anyone.

I'm going to guess the road is not publicly-accessible, there's no street view and it's an Air Force Base. That's one heck of a lengthy connecting taxiway, though.
Working on the others, have AMS, CVG, AGC, ADS, and a few others added.

When Amon G Carter Field/Great Southwest Airport was a thing between Dallas and Fort Worth (but technically in the Fort Worth city limits), TX 183 passed underneath the north runway. It was many years after the airport closed before the tunnel was removed. The tunnel was located in the area where the Amon Carter Blvd. exit/overpass is now, and if you look to the north on the turnoff to Amon Carter from the TX 183 WB service road, there is still concrete left over from the old north runway that for some reason, wasn't taken up with the rest of the airport. It can be seen while driving by, but not accessed, as it is fenced as part of the DFW Airport property.
This is a bit of an odd one, but at Paine Field, the route from the Boeing final assembly line to the main part of the airport crosses over SR 526 (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.9225031,-122.2749869,304m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en). It looks like a road bridge from the air, but planes certainly do cross it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWq32IFzcmk). I'm pretty sure it's only used southbound, though, for planes leaving the plant.

I submitted that one earlier upthread. I did not see anything about commercial flights being a requirement for inclusion.
SR 526 dips under a taxiway at the Boeing assembly plant in Everett, WA, which is attached to Paine Field (PAE). Basically every Boeing widebody ever made has crossed over the freeway, which was built for the original 747 portion of the factory.
Doubt it counts, but it's worth mentioning.
Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW) has a tunnel beneath an extension of the land north of the runway (Stone Dr NW), but it does not cross beneath a taxiway or runway.
It opened in 2009 to protect road users from planes either landing short, or running off the runway.

I took the Boeing plant tour, and one of the platitudes they gave to the the tour was that this bridge is the only privately-owned vehicle bridge over a Washington State Highway. I have to dispute that if railroad bridges count, and if the bridge near the Enumclaw Weyerhaeuser mill between it and the scales counts.

SR 526 dips under a taxiway at the Boeing assembly plant in Everett, WA, which is attached to Paine Field (PAE). Basically every Boeing widebody ever made has crossed over the freeway, which was built for the original 747 portion of the factory.

Where was this mill, and where was/is the bridge? I'm doing some digging on that old mill in Enumclaw, but I'm not seeing many results (besides that it closed in 2003, and that websites weren't as comprehensive back then).

Since the mill is closed, it's possible the bridge is now owned by the state, and the tour operator could get by on a technicality.

Cheers. I totally forgot about that overpass, despite having driven 410 for...I dunno, my whole life. I had wondered what it was for.
Last time I drove through the area (February), there was a WSP officer sitting just on the other side of that bridge doing something. Not radar apparently, as I passed him going well over the limit! Now I have two reasons to remember that bridge.
In Spain, M-111 crosses right below Adolfo Suarez Madrid Barajas airport (MAD) (https://www.google.es/maps/@40.489575,-3.5660369,14.77z).
I now got MAD. :)
Updated table.
In Germany, the A3 autobahn passes under two taxiways at Flughafen Frankfurt am Main (FRA).
Also, the B433 passes under a main runway and taxiway at Flughafen Hamburg (HAM) and the A111 autobahn passes under the thresholds of the two main runways at Flughafen Berlin-Tegel (TXL).
There are likely others.

In the UK, the A79 used to cross the runway at Prestwick Airport on the level, but was rerouted around it a few decades ago. You can still faintly see the route on aerial images.

LAS McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) Paradise Drive Under runway 7R-25L
Minor nitpicks:
It's Paradise *Road*, not drive. (It's commonly known as the "airport connector" or "airport tunnel" in this area.)
Also, it goes under both of the airport's east/west runways. (Formerly designated 7R-25L and 7L-25R, but both designations were changed to "8-26" in 2017, due to shifting of the Earth's magnetic poles. Google Maps' satellite imagery doesn't seem reflect this as of this post, but Apple Maps imagery surprisingly did.)
