I have observed that on interstate highways whenever the DOT rebuilds/renovates the highways for some reason they do not rebuild/renovate the piece of road under bridges. Does anybody knows why?

Generally, the roadways under the bridge are not associated with the bridge itself. State DOTs (or some other highway authority) have control and jurisdiction of the highway and structures on them. The roads beneath them usually fall under the jurisdiction of another body, such as a municipality or county. It's up to that body to maintain the local roads.
They could (and sometimes it may make sense to) repair the local roads while they are doing the bridges, but you need to combine money from the various agencies and usually they are not thinking about how they can play nice together.

the piece under the bridges r considered as integral with the bridges and need to be done along woth it.
the parts between the bridges r more simple and can be undertaken any time .
