Is there any way that a map of double-deck roadways could be made considering there are very few double-decked highways with both decks being roadways left. I don't know any program that could map double-deck roadways besides Google My Maps.

Theoretically a computer program could analyze map data from a source like OSM, but that's a lot of data to analyze, and to my knowledge nobody has written such a program. It's probably easier just to come up with a list the old fashioned way, and then ask someone nicely to make a pretty map of it.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

I was thinking that, I'll try making a list in Google My Maps.

Here's the list, if anyone wants to add another double-deck structure to the list please tell me where it is and I will add it.
Critea for list:
All structures must be double-deck.
Each deck can have whatever on it as long as it is two decks.
Something like I-10's lower and upper level configuration in San Antonio does NOT count as a double-deck road.

I-5 Ship Canal Bridge in Seattle -- do you intend to include this in I-5 Express Lanes?  I only ask because both the S.F.-Oakland Bay Bridge and its Yerba Buena Tunnel are listed.

Does the pedestrian deck of the Brooklyn Bridge count?

I-280 San Francisco (US-101 to Evans Ave)

Not a freeway or a highway, but Wacker Dr in Chicago puts Express on the Lower, local on the upper.

If I understand the OP, no, because it doesn't carry motor vehicles.

Actually it is not a double-decker because the walkway does not cover any part of the roadway. Non-motor vehicle decks are allowed.

CT 8 south of the interchange up to Exit 30 is also double decker.

NJ 21 in Newark just north of where it changes from a surface arterial to a freeway.

Arguably it would rule out I-110's elevated bus/carpool lanes between I-105 and I-10 then.

VA 195 in Richmond? Well that first part of it from I-95.

In the NYC area you also have the LIE directly east of the BQE. And NJ 139, although the upper deck of that one is presently albeit temporarily nonexistent.

An out of town submission: 12th Street Viaduct in Kansas City.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

One could "count" the BQE itself around Brooklyn Heights but it's more of a tiered highway (the urban equivalent of I-70 through Glenwood Canyon) with a local street/port at base, SB traffic on the second level, NB above it and Brooklyn Heights Promenade topping that, each direction has at least one lane exposed.

The Verrazano-Narrows, 59th Street (Queensboro) Bridge, and the GWB, all have two decks - but the configuration is different in that traffic flows in both directions on both decks.  The Queensboro Bridge had former elevated rail on the upper deck converted to road and add to that the very narrow east-bound "sidewalk" lane (outer roadway - Actually a former trolley line opposite the one now occupied by a rec path on the north side of it).

Complete different topic, the Silver Line Busway and HOT lanes of the 110 are elevated through the USC campus in LA.

Omaha has W. Dodge Rd - with Express lanes elevated over local lanes.
