I-535 in Duluth/Superior for 3-dis. 

For state roads, formerly MN-322 in Brainerd, MN.
From http://www.steve-riner.com/mnhighways/r288-694.htm :
"This may have been the shortest trunk highway. It was a one-block long connector between 371 (now Business 371) and the former route of 18 in Brainerd. At either end from its joining routes, it was marked "To 18" and "To 371", but was also signed as 322. This was turned back (along with TH-18 through Brainerd) after the TH-371 bypass was completed in late 2000. "
There are also plenty of these short connecting state highways, mostly to state facilities.

I'd mention Wisconsin highways, but I think Master son has that covered.

There are something like over 200 designated state routes in Louisiana which are shorter than 1 mile in length.

New York has many short (and sometimes long) reference routes.  See the list on Wikipedia.

I-980 in Oakland.

There's a Tennessee 300, that runs from U.S. 51 to the I-40/240 multiplex in northwest Memphis. However, it doesn't appear to be anymore than a mile or two in length on the map of Memphis that I have. Is there another part of this highway that I don't know about?

I think there is some highway in Kentucky that is 37 feet long.  I don't know what the shortest *signed* highway is.

S.R. 331/Forest Pkwy. (length 3 mi.) - This highway runs from I-75 to S.R. 54/Jonesboro Road, facilitating traffic to and from the Farmers Market in Forest Park, Georgia.

S.R. 3 Connector (length 0.5? mi.) - The portion of Tara Blvd. not co-signed with U.S. 19/41/S.R. 3, which is between Arrowhead Blvd. and Upper Riverdale Rd./I-75 North ramp.

S.R. 14 Connector (length 1 mi.) - This state route is co-signed with the portion of South Fulton Parkway between U.S. 29/S.R. 14 (Roosevelt Hwy.) and I-285 North/Bob A. Holmes Fwy.


Be well,

Interstate 380 near San Francisco, CA is only 1.6 miles long.  Anyone have an interstate shorter than that?

[Snappyjack]

I-587 of exit 19 of the Thruway(I-87) in Kingston, NY is 1.2 miles long. And it is not referenced on I-87. You don't know it is even there until you get off the exit and go through the toll booths.

There are several shorter than that.  Check this out:

Oregon's shortest highway is OR 52, weighing in at a whopping 1.65 miles.  It connects OR 201 to Idaho at Payette and continues as ID 52.

solid enough for a merge, please use your signal despite the other cars knowing you're out of choices.

shortest in WI is SPUR WIS 42. 400 feet

Where is FL 61A ? Is it in Leon County? Shortest Hwys that come to my mind: M-201 that serves Northport, M-212 that serves Aloha State Park,and M-217 all in Michigan.

[Tom]

The shortest state route in Michigan is:

M-212 at 0.72 mile

Google map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=aloha,+mi&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.176059,56.25&ie=UTF8&ll=45.525713,-84.455509&spn=0.029525,0.054932&z=14

M-212 runs from M-33 to Aloha State Park.  Many of Michigan's shortest state routes end at state parks.

Just for the record, M-212 has been Michigan's shortest highway only since 1996.  The honor for shortest Michigan highway was originally M-209, 2/5 mile long, top speed limit 25 mph, at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore from the 1920's to 1996.

[leifvanderwall]

You mean, M-209 was shorter than M-110? Don't know about that one.

[Tom]

According to http://www.michiganhighways.org/master_list.html M-110 was 1 4/5 miles long verses M-209's 2/5 mile.

Wow... talk about bringing a thread back from the dead 

Anyway, MB 29 was the shortest around here. It was 0.5 km (1600 ft or 0.31 mi) long and ran from I-29 to MB 75. It's gone now though. Decommissioned in 2012.

My favorite consecutive pairs of short highways is near Lowell, OH (between Clyde and Bucyrus) along OH-19 and OH-101:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bucyrus,+OH+44820/@41.217547,-83.0449102,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8839743e0dddf78f:0x20cd81e374f74d9c?hl=en

OH-228 and OH-778 are "short cuts" between OH-19, which "stairsteps" across the diagonal OH-101.  228 is under 1-1/2 miles while 778 is only 2264 feet.

I see your OR 52 and raise you OR 204 Truck in Elgin. ~.05 miles. OR 131 Truck in Tillamook clocks in around .3-5 miles.
