State routes in 3 or more states

The most states I can think of for a single state route is 3: Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine all share 9, 11, 25, and 26. However, VT 9 continues as NY 7, which continues as PA 29. That makes a total of 5 states that way. Can you think of any that beat that either way?
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

So what you want are routes that don't necessarily keep their numbers across state lines? Florida-Georgia/Alabama-Tennessee are gimmes due to their practice of assigning a state number to every U.S. Route. Here's one with all four: FL 63-GA 1-TN 27-AL 2

But that's only 4 states. What you are looking for is:

More than 3 keeping the same number

OR

More than 5, changing numbers allowed

Exactly 5: NE 2, IA 2, IL 9, IN 26, OH 119.

If you excuse the gap in NE 2, then SD 71 can also be added to this list.

NY 30/QC 138/Trans-Labrador Highway

I think this one might extend to a second provincial route in Quebec as well.

Given that NYSDOT maintains the Sayre, PA portion, more like PA/NY/NJ.

really?

here I thought all the Yukon segments were 1, and all the BC segments were 97, with Yukon doing the maintenance on a particular loop of BC road (or maybe the other way around?)

I wonder how long one can travel on contiguous state routes.  if we allow US/Canada crossings, then the AlCan would likely win the prize.  but what is the record for the lower 48?  is it MSR-200?

200 definitely wins it. Even if you include SD 71 in the grand MSR, changing numbers saga (SD 71, NE 2, IA 2, IL 9, IN 26, OH 119,) 200 is still about 300 miles longer. I can't think of anything else that would come close. MSR 92 is also far from beating 200.

I'm just being extra snarky. But yeah, the number itself actually only changes once. BC 97 is partly in YT, and YT 1 is partly in BC.

If you excuse the gap in NE 2, then SD 71 can also be added to this list.

When I was in Grand Island, there was a sign pointing Nebraska 2 traffic onto eastbound I-80.  However, there were no NE 2 signs on I-80 itself.

MA/NH/VT 119 (only state route that goes through those 3 states)
CT/MA/VT 8
CT/MA/NH 10
CT/MA/NH/VT 12 (already mentioned though)

Those last 3 all go into Keene NH.

Yeah, the gap is more or less resolved eastbound, but coming westbound on the eastern segment, there are no signs pointing Nebraska 2 traffic to either northbound 77 or westbound 80, so the gap is much more notable there.
