There's Lewis & Clark County, Montana, and the city of Wilkes-Barre, PA, is named after two members of the British parliament. Near Hattiesburg, MS, Sullivan-Kilrain Rd. is named for the two men who participated in what's believed to be the last-sanctioned bare knuckle prizefight.
There are the MacDonald-Cartier Bridge and Airport in Ottawa.
Lee Jackson Highway (U.S. 50) in parts of Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax in Northern Virginia.
The new bridge carrying US 93 across the Colorado River. Mike O'Callaghan—Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is given to the arched Hoover Dam Bypass.
Hartsfield- Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.
Mason-Dixon this or that around the MD, PA border..
Since we have place names, there's also Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois. Named for Robert E. Wood, CEO of Sears, and Marshall Field, founder of Marshall Field & Co.
Or Ross-Ade Stadium at Purdue University?
Any "Martin Luther King" whatever, technically.
Carl Smith Center, Home of David A. Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium (seriously, that's the full name of UVA's football stadium and immediate surrounding area–Scott donated the money to build the stadium around 1930, Harrison funded replacing the AstroTurf with grass in 1995, and Smith gave a huge donation towards expanding the stadium in the late 1990s).
Some people argue that Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is named for two presidents. I don't entirely agree in that the city is certainly named for the president, but the airport's name contains "Washington" solely because of the city, not directly because of the president.

Technically does not mean what you think it means. There are thousands of thousands of people who have/had the last name Washington, but it's bloody obvious which one my state is named after, and I can't claim it was technically also named after hundreds of people no one has ever heard of.
I'm being a bit hyperbolic of course, but just because MLK Jr's father was also moderately famous doesn't mean those streets were "technically" named after him as well.

Wow, you missed the joke, I was referring to Martin Luther from the 1500's...

Point stands, though I suppose my hyperbolic analogy doesn't apply. Sorry if it was just a joke, but rampant misuse of the words "technically" and "literally" is among my biggest pet peeves.
Technically, King County, WA. Originally named for William Rufus King and renamed for Martin Luther King Jr. in 1986 (but not recognized by the state until 2005).
Personally, I think the name should've been dropped in favor of something else (Duwamish County to match the other counties named for local tribes?) if at all. The real victim of the namesake change was the loss of the crown logo/seal for King County, which was pretty great, replaced by MLK's face, which from a graphic design standpoint is hideous to use.
King and Queen County, VA.

But King County was never named for more than one person at the same time.

Well, from 1986 to 2005, the state had the namesake listed as Rufus King and the county had the namesake listed as MLK.
Is there anything named "Wright", after the Wright brothers? I can't find any.

The road from I-380 to the Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids is Wright Brothers Blvd. Then there's Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.
Mabank, TX -- named for the co-owners of a ranch that donated land for the townsite on a railroad that had built through the area. Sometimes misspelled 'Maybank'.
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP in Vermont.
Washington- Rochambeau is used someplace I have seen on some green signs somewhere near Washington, DC. I believe its a touring route someplace in Virginia, but I cannot be sure. I just remember seeing the signs during my travels popping up at various points, but where and when I could not say.
However, it fits the bill for the OP.
Edit: I just googled it and found that it is a historic trail designated by the National Park Service that connects many metropolitan areas around the north-east. That would explain where I saw them as I did grow up in that region of the country.
One I forgot about earlier is WaKeeney, Kansas, named for its 2 founders, Albert Warren and James Keeney.
Technically, Le Mars, IA was named after six people :sombrero:

That would be three people, I guess. :-P
I'd add Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile.
It occurs to me the Dulles Toll Road is formally named the Omer L. Hirst—Adelard L. Brault Expressway in honor of the two state legislators who sponsored the bill leading to the road's construction. But I've never heard anyone call it that and it only appears on small signs (what I think of as "honorific" signs).
In a strange way, Newton and Jasper are together as place names in several places. John Newton and William Jasper were Revolutionary War heroes so we see Jasper and Newton Counties adjacent to each other in several states including Indiana, Texas, Missouri, Georgia, and Mississippi. In Illinois and Iowa, the county seat of Jasper County is Newton. In Arkansas, Jasper is the county seat of Newton County. I think there are other examples of Jasper and Newton being together, but separate.
The bridges crossing the Big Sandy River on I-64 between West Virginia and Kentucky (maintained by WV) is named after two construction workers who were killed in an accident when the bridges were being rehabbed a few years ago. Don't ask me to remember their names off the top of my head.
The Penn Lincoln Parkway in Pittsburgh, but that's named after two roads (William Penn Highway and Lincoln Highway) that just happen to be named after people.
I could not find background, but Penhar Drive around Harrisburg could count. Pen is probably for William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, and Har is probably for Harrisburg (which I do not know if it's named after anyone). If not Harrisburg, probably an altering of "Hershey", so Milton S. Hershey.

Note that two of the three resolutions are technically incorrect. The second references the DOH, rather than the woefully named WV PEDTA. The third calls US 35, WV 35.
I'm sure there are many others. The legislature spends the first two weeks of its session every year naming roads after people (without appropriating any money to pay for the signage) and a lot are multiple people named. There is one on Corridor G named after a father and son Army pair, killed in different wars. Cannot remember the name right off.
The College of William and Mary
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Originally named for William B. Hartsfield, but when Maynard H. Jackson passed in 2003, there was a move to change the airport's name. Instead, it was renamed for both men, each a mayor of Atlanta.

I noticed this a long time ago and for a long time I wondered if there was some famous person named Jasper Newton or Newton Jasper.
In Columbus, OH, State Route 315, aka the Olentangy River Expressway, is known as the Moody-Jackson Parkway. While there was a football player named Moody Jackson, the hyphenation suggests it was two people. The Moody part was probably Columbus mayor Tom Moody (http://"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Moody_(politician)"), since he helped build Central Ohio's freeway network. Not sure who the Jackson half is.

And it replaced the Troup-Howell Bridge, which wasn't named for two people but for two streets...which in turn, of course, were named for people.

We have something here called "Teddy Ebersol's Red Sox Fields at Lederman Park," the result of overlaying one commemorative naming on another (and the name of one honoree's favorite team for good measure).
The street name for WA 14 is the Lewis & Clark Scenic Byway.
