Denver:

W Colfax Ave (I-70 Business/US 40/US 287 east of this interchange) & N Federal Blvd (US 287 north of the interchange/CO 88 south of the interchange). This used to be a full cloverleaf, but was converted to a partial with the removal of the loop from NB Federal to WB Colfax, and the extension of the ramp from NB Federal into the parking for Mile High as Elliot St.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Federal+Blvd+%26+W+Colfax+Ave,+Denver,+CO&hl=en&ll=39.740673,-105.023096&spn=0.008745,0.021136&sll=39.772576,-104.902332&sspn=0.008807,0.021136&t=h&hnear=W+Colfax+Ave+%26+Federal+Blvd,+Denver,+Colorado+80204&z=16

Quebec St and 40th St/Sandown Rd & Smith Rd. Quebec was supposed to be a freeway from I-70 south to the former Stapleton Airport. The freeway was never built, and this interchange (and the wide median on Quebec south of here) are the only parts that were constructed.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Quebec+St+%26+Smith+Rd,+Denver,+CO&hl=en&sll=39.740673,-105.023096&sspn=0.008745,0.021136&t=h&hnear=Quebec+St+%26+Smith+Rd&z=16

Englewood:

Hampden Bypass/Jefferson Ave (US 285) & S Broadway.
Hampden Ave is an expressway beginning a few blocks west of here (then becomes a freeway farther west), but on both sides of this interchange, it has a light every block with a 35 speed limit.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hampden+Ave+%26+S+Broadway&hl=en&ll=39.65221,-104.987283&spn=0.008756,0.021136&sll=39.654771,-104.979343&sspn=0.017644,0.042272&t=h&hnear=S+Broadway+%26+W+Hampden+Ave,+Englewood,+Arapahoe,+Colorado+80110&z=16

Colorado Springs:

E Platte Ave (former US 24) & Academy Blvd (former CO 83).
Built when Platte carried US 24 east from downtown to Limon. Academy was CO 83 until that highway was moved east to Powers Blvd. Academy is a very busy commercial street.

S Circle Dr & Hancock Expwy.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Circle+Drive+%26+Hancock+Expy,+Colorado+Springs,+CO&hl=en&ll=38.799099,-104.783778&spn=0.00893,0.021136&sll=38.80134,-104.781332&sspn=0.008863,0.021136&t=h&hq=Circle+Drive+%26&hnear=Hancock+Expy,+Colorado+Springs,+Colorado&z=16

S Nevada Ave (CO 115, former US 85 & 87 NB) & Lake Ave (former US 85 & 87 SB).
Nevada becomes an expressway heading south from here.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=S+Nevada+Ave+%26+Lake+Ave,+Colorado+Springs,+CO&hl=en&ll=38.798129,-104.819462&spn=0.008863,0.021136&sll=38.795487,-104.819076&sspn=0.008931,0.021136&t=h&hq=S+Nevada+Ave+%26&hnear=Lake+Ave,+Colorado+Springs,+El+Paso,+Colorado&z=16

S Venetucci Blvd & Willwood Rd.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Venetucci+Blvd+%26+Willwood+Rd,+Colorado+Springs,+CO&hl=en&ll=38.779748,-104.784808&spn=0.008866,0.021136&sll=38.782709,-104.789186&sspn=0.004433,0.010568&t=h&hnear=Venetucci+Blvd+%26+Willwood+Rd,+Colorado+Springs,+El+Paso,+Colorado+80906&z=16

S Academy Blvd & Milton Proby Pkwy.
Brand new access to the airport. South of here, Academy is an expressway for the remainder of its length.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Academy+Blvd+%26+Milton+E+Proby+Pkwy,+Colorado+Springs,+CO&hl=en&sll=38.859494,-104.776611&sspn=0.283381,0.676346&t=h&hnear=Milton+E+Proby+Pkwy+%26+S+Academy+Blvd,+Colorado+Springs,+El+Paso,+Colorado&z=16

I hope I didn't miss someone else's posting of these...

NC 49 at NC 109, at Old NC 49 and at US 64. There's also a grade separation that doesn't strictly appear to be dictated by topography [url=http://goo.gl/maps/EFXs6]here, with room for a second roadway. I think that NC 49 was a pretty big deal when it was built in (I guess) the 40-'s-50's.

Others for South Jersey:

NJ 73 at NJ 70 (fairly new)

NJ 73 at US 30

US 322 at NJ 50

US 322 at NJ 54 - There had been discussions about making this a conventional intersection, as the overpass is nearing the end of its life, the clearance on 322 is barely 13' 6" in the left lane, and there's a serious hill to get above the railroad tracks nearby this interchange.  In addition, due to those railroad tracks, there's no accel/decel lane on US 322 to and from the left. The last time I saw anything about that though was years ago.

Others in Delaware:

DE 7 at DE 58

DE 2 at Centerville Rd (although one can argue this is just an overpass...there's not much 'interchange' here unless you use nearby intersections)

There was talk about one at US 40 at DE 7, but DelDOT designed to shy away from that, much to the anger of nearby residents.  This was after DelDOT approved another large strip mall near the intersection, which will add to the already congested conditions found there.

hubcity

One more in central NJ:

NJ 33 Business and Monmouth County 55 (Kozloski Road), here:

http://goo.gl/maps/8YvUb

(The "bigger" road appears to be Kosloski Road, on the top side of the intersection, but even that's not barrier-divided.)

That looks like a prototype expressway where they didn't know anything about access control yet – much like portions of US 23 in southern and central Ohio.  I also note that the 2-lane portions appear to have a ROW wide enough for future twinning. 
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

Not sure if I'd count that one, since US 9 is a freeway for a decent length to the north and south of downtown Poughkeepsie.

But now across the river, at 44/55 and US 9W....

Denver Avenue is old US 99W, right?  It seems like this is actually part of a short freeway that starts to the north at I-5 and ends at Argyle Street, with a second interchange at Whitaker Road.

I'd also call it a freeway.

The Interstate Avenue-Broadway interchange is a remnant of another former freeway portion of US 99W, via the Steel Bridge and Harbor Drive.

Debatable is right. I'd actually call that part of PA 61 a very substandard freeway from Technology Drive north of 81 down to Darkwater Road where, ironically, the really twisty part ends, not starts. :P

That reminds me of a sub-category I've had in mind lately: interchanges with privately or commercially-owned sites, such as malls, factories, or attractions. Schuylkill Mall is always the one that comes to my mind, but there are others all over.

Quaker Bridge Mall near Princeton, NJ would qualify.  Even has a traffic light where the overpass meets the mall ring mode.  The light may date back from when the mall opened in 1975, and operates in a fixed-time mode.

Like US 1 at Longwood Gardens or US 22 at the Monroeville Mall in, of course, Monroeville.

Not private/commercial, but I've always been intrigued by the set up at Atlantic City High School.

VA 150 at Stony Point would fall into that category. The exit existed before the mall was built, but some commercial buildings were there then as well. The southbound exit is still posted on the ramp as a way to turn around onto northbound 150.

Exit 180A (Mall Road) on southbound I-71/I-75 in northern Kentucky?

I feel like that should count, but I'd exclude other types of public facilities like state and national parks, or military bases, large government complexes, etc. Not sure how to exactly specify what I'm thinking of, but we seem to get the idea.

That reminds me of one I saw in Topeka, Kansas the last time I was there.  On US 24 in northwestern Topeka, there is an exit for the Goodyear plant, although I don't know for sure if there is a regular road there or not.

Isn't there a ginormous grocery store called Jungle jim's with its own exit from US 127 north of Cincinnati?  I saw this on TV somewhere.

And we're definitely getting into territory for a new thread.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

AT& T in Bedminster, NJ has an interchange with US 202 & 206.
Beneficial (Now UpJohn Pharmacuticals) has one with US 206 near Gladstone, NJ.
AT & T has one with North Maple Avenue at their Basking Ridge Office.

Six Flags has one with CR 537 outside of Great Adventure Park in Jackson, NJ.

How about this one:  Reedman Auto Dealer in Langhorne, PA has an interchange with PA 213.  This is an extreme rarity with a car dealer having an interchange with the road its on.  Although, Reedman does own property on both sides of PA 213, that may be to grade separate himself from the local streets without having to leave his facility.
I did obtain my 1989 Chevy Beretta from across the street from the showroom, and had to cross that particular interchange to see my car pre purchase in the salesman's vehicle.

I wouldn't count either. US 9 in Poughkeepsie is most definitely a freeway, and I would count 44/55 as at least an expressway from just east of 9, across the bridge, and all the way to 9W, because, going west, after Jefferson St, you have the ramps to 9, the bridge, the eastbound toll plaza, and then the interchange with 9W. No intersections and no driveways.

US 9 and NY 113, however, I would count.

NE Sandy Blvd & NE 122nd Ave in Portland:

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=45.556259,-122.537041&spn=0.003982,0.010568&sll=34.55994,-118.144226&sspn=0.037463,0.117245&t=h&z=17

Probably to facilitate 122nd going underneath the railroad tracks that parallel Sandy.
