The longest state highway in Wisconsin, WIS 35 becomes ILL 35, the shortest state highway in Illinois.

The longest state highway in Minnesota, MN 1 becomes ND 54, a 2 1/2 mile route between the Red River and I-29.

Montana 200 is a 900-mile-long highway, the longest state highway in the US. It connects to ID-200, which is a comparatively paltry 33 miles. Maybe not so short in absolute terms, but in terms of percentage it would be hard to beat.

Not as dramatic as some other examples, but there is OH 2 (227 miles) turning into the northern segment of IN 37 (14 miles) past its western terminus.

IA 27, aka the Avenue of the Saints, runs N/S through Iowa but only runs a few miles as MO 27 before ending at US 61.

There used to be KY 80 becoming MO 80, which is 6 miles, but the connection has since been discontinued. It does become VA 80, which is 67 miles compared to the 483 miles in Kentucky.

US 395 (1,305 miles) becomes BC Highway 395 at the Canadian border, which ends a mere 2.5 miles later.

Another short one on the Canadian border: BC Highway 41 (0.8 mi) ties into WA 21 (191 mi).

CA 62 (151 miles) becomes "TRUCK AZ 95", a 0.85 mile connector to AZ 95 in Parker.

Interstate 29 (750 miles) used to become MB 29 (0.3 miles) at the Emerson/Pembina border crossing.

QC 132, at a thousand miles, connects with NY 970T at its west end. It's a reference route in NY, though, so I don't know if it counts.

RI 15 becomes (unsigned) MA 15, which is 0.23 miles

The 122.45 NY 55 becomes the 2.64 mile CT 55
PA 491 becoming the 0.66 mile DE 491
RI 78 becoming the 0.43 mile CT 78 (even less than that if you subtract the loop ramp)

And a double: MA 114A becoming the 0.1 mile segment of RI 114A on its southern end, and the 0.3 mile segment on its northern end.

IN 62 stretchs across Southern Indiana, from meeting US 50 near Dillsboro/not too far from I-275 and the Ohio River and Cincinnati, and comes all the way west and south, thru New Albany, then Evansville and Mount Vernon, to cross the Wabash River into Illinois, and becomes IL 141 - clocking in at 204 miles (per wikipedia)

IL 141 is all of 18 miles from the Wabash to US 45

wanderer2575

IN-15 (95 miles) enters Michigan and becomes M-103 (3 miles).

Montana 200 is a 900-mile-long highway, the longest state highway in the US. It connects to ID-200, which is a comparatively paltry 33 miles. Maybe not so short in absolute terms, but in terms of percentage it would be hard to beat.

This gets even more dramatic if you consider that Montana 200 is connected to North Dakota 200, which spans the entire state, and Minnesota 200, which almost spans its entire state.

Effectively, Idaho gets a 2.43% slice of a four-state, 1,356 mile Highway 200 to its name. I'd say that's even harder to beat.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

MA/NH 119 becoming the 0.08 mi. VT 119

Which will change in a few years when the new bridge downstream is finished.  Not sure offhand how much, though.

Vermont has 2 examples already mentioned that beat it...

VT/NH/ME 26:   126.77 miles.  53 feet in Vermont.  0.008%
VT/NH/MA 119:  75.67 miles.  0.08mi in Vermont.  0.1%
