For me, it would be VA 48, which is the longest in VA

The longest one I have been on in VA is VA 42 (3rd longest), from Bland to New Castle (yes I know, they're technically two different segments), and the longest one clinched is VA 100 (which is ~27th, and I'm surprised 311 isn't longer but I digress)

Now for each state I've visited (most of these will probably be near the if not the top of the list in their respective states):

Haven't been on (longest)
FL: FL 5
GA: GA 11
KY: KY 7
MA: MA 28
MD: MD 2
ME: ME 11
NC: NC 24
PA: PA 18
SC: SC 9

Haven't been on (2nd place)
CT: CT 8
NJ: NJ 47
NY: NY 5
OH: OH 3
TN: TN 15
VT: VT 30 

Haven't been on (3rd longest)
NH: NH 9

Haven't been on (5th longest)
WV: WV 28

Huh. I didn't expect Wyoming to be the best for me.

It's been five years since I posted here, so I'll check in with some new states:

Florida: SR 30 (11th-longest). Longest standalone: SR 70 (second-longest of those that aren't hidden designations for Interstates or US Routes)
Illinois: IL 127 (12th-longest)
Indiana: SR 9 (5th-longest, for now)
Iowa: IA 9 (2nd-longest)
Michigan: M-25 (7th-longest)
Wisconsin: WIS 27 (5th-longest)

As far as I know, I haven't been on the longest route of any other states, unless there's an overlap I'm not aware of.
Davenport, IA -> Valparaiso, IN -> Ames, IA -> Orlando, FL -> Gainesville, FL -> Evansville, IN

PA: PA 414 (77.32 miles)
NY: NY 30 (291.13 miles)
NJ: NJ 70 (60.22 miles)
VA: VA 57 (86.45 miles)
MD: MD 32 (50.63 miles)
NC: NC 27 (197.17 miles)
DE: DE 16 (30.16 miles)  (I am looking to get a full clinch of DE eventually.)
WV: WV 20 (253.65 miles)
OH: OH 4 (209.47 miles)

*Mileage is based on Travel Mapping

I have not driven enough mileage in other states to bother.

Updating since DE is fully clinched, and I have traveled on NY 30, NJ 70 (clinched), MD 32 (clinched), WV 20, and OH 4 since my original post.  I still do not think that any other states are worth doing at the moment besides AZ since I did do a full-on trip there about a year ago.

NY:  NY 3 (244.64 miles)
NJ:  NJ 72 (29.35 miles)
MD: MD 224 (26.71 miles) 
WV:  WV 10 (137.71 miles)
OH: OH 13 (165.09 miles, feels like one of the few north-south routes that I have not snuck in at least a concurrency on)
AZ: AZ 87 (286.67 miles, longest route in the state, was on my original route plan in September 2021, but got cut in the midst of redoing my route plan so that I could close the gap on US 60 between Phoenix and Globe on the Friday of that week as US 60 was closed for a bridge project on Tuesday)

Updating since MD is fully clinched in Travel Mapping now, and a few other states are worth adding IMO:

PA: PA 247 (49.74 miles, I gained mileage on PA 414 back in December 2022 while clinching PA 287)
NJ: NJ 36 (24.65 miles, I am looking to finish NJ soon at this point)
OH: OH 47 (105.80 miles, I was just east of the eastern terminus while clinching US 23 between Toledo and Columbus last month)
FL: FL 70 (150.29 miles)
IN: IN 56 (195.46 miles)
KY: KY 52 (159.86 miles)
GA: GA 7 (217.54 miles)
IL:  IL 16 (175.42 miles)
TN: TN 100 (156.71 miles)
SC: SC 34 (185.22 miles)
AR:  AR 7 (297.15 miles, longest)

I do not think I have done enough travel in other states to add them yet though LA 1, M-28, and MO 5 are the longest and my longest for those states.

Today's update though my list file has not been updated yet to include PA 247.

PA: PA 187 (41.78 miles)
VA:  VA 72 (43.78 miles)

I honestly would have expected DE for you to be something a bit longer than DE 17.
