2di:
I-64: Hampton Roads
I-64/77: WV Turnpike Memorial. 2-lane. Bypassed in 1987
I-70: Eisenhower, Twin (at Clear Creek Canyon, CO), Wheeling (2-lane), Allegheny Mtn
I-76: Tuscarora Mtn, Kittatiny Mtn, Blue Mtn. Also Allegheny Mtn. (3 others were bypassed in the 1960s)
[Note: The Allegheny Mtn. is slated by the PA Turnpike Commission to be bypassed]
I-90: Ted Williams
I-93: Big Dig/Central Artery replacement, under construction
I-95: Fort McHenry. Has four parallel 2-lane tubes.

3di:
I-278: Brooklyn-Battery
I-279: Fort Pitt
I-376: Squirrel Hill
I-395: Third Street (Washington, DC). Some of the access routes to I-395 are tunnels themselves.
I-476: Lehigh
I-495: Queens-Midtown
I-664: Monitor-Merrimac
I-895: (Baltimore) Harbor

Very short; some of these might just be long overpasses:

I-10: tunnel at end of highway in Santa Monica
I-66: Rosslyn
I-71/US-50: Cincinnati riverfront?
I-75: under Peachtree St in downtown Atlanta
I-75/285: a single-lane tunnel is part of the northern interchange

Some notable non-interstate highway tunnels:

- Lincoln and Holland. NYC also has a short tunnel leading from the FDR Drive
to West St near the WTC site. As well as one under Park Ave. on a former railroad bed south of Grand Central.
- Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (US-13)
- Liberty Tunnels -- aka "Liberty Tubes" by the Pittsburgh locals.
- "Tunnel to Canada" -- from Detroit to Windsor.
- 2 new tunnels in Trenton, NJ (US-29) and Atlantic City.
- Road tunnel in downtown Pittsburgh?
- Alaska has modified a long railroad tunnel for use by trains or highway traffic (at different times, of course). Single lane.

I didn't see I-10 in Phoenix (under the Japanese Friendship Garden, between the 7th Avenue and 7th Street exits) on that list.

That post is eighteen years old. Perhaps it hadn't been built yet.

That's no excuse! The OP should have updated/corrected it.

Since we're on the subject: I-40 in western North Carolina has
some tunnels.
"When the tunnels opened in 1968 they were the first Interstate
tunnels east of Mississippi River." <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_40_in_North_Carolina#Route_description
