US 159 is 85 miles long.
US 160 is 1465 miles long.

Not even close.

Sorry, I thought the question was shortest between three states, not shortest highway.  My bad.  :spin:

Looks like it. The two next-shortest US routes passing through three or more states I could find are US 340 (VA-WV-VA again-MD, about 155 miles) and US 302 (VT-NH-ME, about 165 miles).

I remember this (OP, not mine) question before, and people found a definite answer.

Is US 44 the shortest for 4 states, or is there a shorter one?

Is US 202 the shortest for 8 states? No, really, that's a lot of states.
