70mph
No. Currently the fastest speed in the US is 85 mph (the first to open at that speed is SH-130 between San Antonio, TX and Austin, TX).
The speed limit on most highways in the US is 65 mph. Depending on conditions, most traffic does 70 to 75 mph.
Some of the western US states used to have no upper speed limits, but they no longer do. In order to accept Federal Highway Funds they had to come into compliance and establish upper limits to the speed allowed on their highways.

The maximum speed limit is not uniform in all US states.ALSO - by "expressway" are you referring to the Interstate Road System or some other arterial highway or parkway?
Federal, State, And Local Governments work together to regulate the highway transportation system. For example, Federal law established a maximum speed limit of 55 mph on all US roadways in 1974.
In most places in the US you are not allowed to exceed the speed limit by any amount at all when passing. It's called the speed LIMIT, not the speed SUGGESTION. If you can't pass without exceeding the speed limit, then don't pass.Some states used to allow this, at least under certain conditions, but several of them have since changed their laws to forbid it. If you want a definitive answer, contact your state government; the highway patrol should be able to tell you for sure.
