These always have really neat looks to them and most of them seem to be going away in favor of more up-to-date engineering.
The viaduct over the one on I-70 in Denver is slated for removal with the Central 70 project, and the Alaskan Way is pretty much long gone now.

Hawaii's Interstate H-3 is on a viaduct through the scenic Halawa Valley. Underneath that viaduct is an access road, built for construction of the viaduct. It starts at the back of an HDOT maintenance yard, and is not open to the general public. AIUI, HDOT occasionally allows travel on the access road (mainly by native Hawaiian organizations) such as to visit religious and cultural sites in the valley.
Part of the access road, visible from the H-3 viaduct, can be seen in the lower right corner of this photo:

Division Street in San Francisco runs directly underneath the Central Freeway/US 101. Interesting vibe, though there are spots where homeless encampments have been established (which does occur in quite a few underneath-freeway areas in South of Market)

Just 92/Nimitz. HI 99 ends at the west end of the viaduct.
A short remnant of the Kamehameha Highway exists east of the east end of the viaduct, as unsigned HI 7401. Before construction of the H-1 viaduct, the six-lane divided Kamehameha Highway and the four-lane undivided Nimitz Highway ran in parallel north of the airport (http://www.hawaiihighways.com/kamehameha+nimitz-hwys-large.jpg) (1951 photo, courtesy of Hawaii DOT). As part of the viaduct project, those highways were merged into a single divided highway under the viaduct.
EDIT: Forgot about another road under a viaduct, near the east end of H-1 -- part of Waialae Avenue runs for about a half-mile under the freeway:

The 'lower' level streets in that area are the original street level, those 'upper' level streets were first built above them over a century ago to make it easier for freight services to get to the buildings' docks without mucking up other street traffic. Pretty ingenious, IMHO.

Thanks for the clarification. Just just assumed the designations continued on both ends due to the roadway splitting at each end. I find it a fascinating piece of engineering, and it is actually an interesting walk and drive.

Some of River Rd in downtown Louisville runs under I-64.
The LIE in Queens east of the BQE has the long ramps from I-278 to I-49 coming from and going to I-495 underneath it. I also believe the BQE north of the LIE has a local street underneath it.
There is a viaduct in Kansas City that has another local street under it. Can't remember where, but me and another user on here captured (or captioned)it in photos back in 2016.
Do we count double-decker expressways, such as those in Austin, Mexico City, Puebla... ?
In Baltimore, I-95 approaching the toll plaza at the Fort McHenry Tunnel runs over the Canton Viaduct, part of I-895 (Baltimore Harbor Tunnel Thruway), which in turn runs over a few streets and a large railroad yard.

Not exactly underneath -- it's offset a few feet -- but CT 67 has a "vertical overlap" under a segment of CT 8 freeway in Seymour: https://goo.gl/maps/xerfxAh1cXbfVTGy7. Look for the railway going over CT 67 and under CT 8.
Not sure if it will reopen, a one way road under the approach to the burlington bristol bridge in burlington NJ. They're doing work to the bridge so it is unusable for now at least.Not sure if it counts though, but...yeah it's a viaduct approach to the first over-river truss.
Cincinnati has some examples. East 3rd under US 50, West 8th under the 8th Street Viaduct, etc.

Osmena Highway (formerly South Superhighway) is the surface street/boulevard that runs underneath the Skyway from just past EDSA to Quirino Avenue. Prior to 2014 or so it was the only road running north of the Magallanes Interchange but the Skyway has gradually been built atop it, with the entire street now running underneath.
South of EDSA, the South Luzon Expressway runs underneath or adjacent to the Metro Manila Skyway between there and the Skyway's terminus near Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa, with the service roads and Manila South Road as a frontage for those who cannot afford either of the aforementioned tollways. I remember taking a Grab car ride from the Ortigas Center complex (specifically in Pasig) to Paranaque in late March and it struck me how many jeepneys were stuck at near-standstill pace along the east service road even at 1:30 AM.
