multi-level junction
Explanation:
The reference is to the Motorway Archive, and it has a pair of very nice photos of a multi-level junction.

The nice thing about this term and "two-level junction" is that they work in both British and US English.

Thank you, James. I'm choosing this answer because it's 'of a piece' with your other answer, and the distinction between 'two-level' and 'multi-level' needs to be clearly indicated. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

crossing (or intersection) at different levels


Explanation:
I suppose unlike the "complete two-level junction" with roads having access to each other, intersection at different levels just means one road passes under the other by means of a tunnel or bridge.

neutral  Angela Greenfield: overpass means two-point interchange, i.e. two roads cross. There could be three of four intersecting roads at the same junction. IMHO

multi-level junction


Explanation:
The reference is to the Motorway Archive, and it has a pair of very nice photos of a multi-level junction.

The nice thing about this term and "two-level junction" is that they work in both British and US English.

Example sentence(s):
  • The two most important were the free flow junction at Ray Hall and the multi-level junction at Gravelly Hill where the M6 intersected with the existing very busy junction on the A38 Lichfield Road, and with the Aston Ring Road.
