US 271 in Arkansas is only 3 miles long before entering Oklahoma. What is the shortest US Highway in your state excluding Hawaii and Alaska?
Is this counting bannered routes, or just mainline ones? For NJ, I believe the shortest would be US 9W, with only 11 miles of roadway within the Garden State.
US 220 in New York is about 1/10 mile long.
I guess US 85 in El Paso that disappears into a duplex.
Massachusetts is surprisingly high for a small state. (US 3, 36 miles)

US 71 is shorter than US 85.
In North Carolina, US 521 is down to 3.5 miles.
Virginia is either US-11E at 0.58 miles or US-219 at 1.73 miles.
Tennessee: US 58 is 6/10 of a mile long.
Alabama: US 90 is 70 miles long, but is US 45 shorter?

That's debatable, the northbound lanes don't even enter the state. But yeah, the southbound lanes are shorter than US 85's length.EDIT: Wait, is that alignment north of Texarkana new? I stand corrected, I think.
As for my own states, US 77 enters Iowa for about a quarter mile before it ends at I-29 in Sioux City. Honorable mention goes to US 136 in Keokuk (3 or 4 miles)
For Illinois (I'll claim it), US 60/62 has about a mile and a half in Cairo between the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
In Indiana, I
think it's US 12 at 45 miles. Taking a quick glance at a list of the US highways in Indiana, it looks like US 12 is the only one that doesn't make it at least halfway across the state.
Indiana actually would be US 131, which takes up a very short distance (tenth of a mile or so) from the Michigan state line to the Indiana Toll Road.

It's 0.67 miles, actually. The length of US 223 in Ohio is slightly shorter: 0.66 miles.
For Michigan, the shortest is US 8 at 2.32 miles.

I'd think US 56 for Missouri. Not sure on mileage. Can't be more than 4.
199 for California and Oregon.
197 for Washington.
The shortest in Wisconsin is US 141 at 117.33 miles, which is a lot higher than I would have guessed. Which raises the related question: what state has the longest "shortest U.S. route"? There's got to be a Western state with a longer one, I would think.
Arizona: US 64, 4 miles
New Mexico: US 160, 1 mile
Utah: US 89A, 3 miles, or US 491, 17 miles
QuoteAlabama: US 90 is 70 miles long, but is US 45 shorter?
Yes...about 59 miles. US 411 is also slightly shorter than US 90 at 88 miles.
Mississippi's shortest is US 425 at just under 3 miles (all in Natchez, and all concurrent with US 84).
Minnesota's shortest is US 8 at just over 22 miles.
JP mentioned US 222 for Maryland. But US 522 is even shorter, at just over 2 miles (over half of that a concurrency with I-70).
He also mentioned US 2 for New Hampshire, but US 1 is half as short at just under 17 miles.
In Virginia, all of these are under 10 miles:
US 11E, US 11W, US 219, US 311
In South Carolina the shortest is US 276 at around 45 miles
In North Carolina it is US 178 at under 10 miles.

I think US 202 is the shortest, but US 40 and US 301 are also both very short highways (both < 15 miles) in Delaware.

Guessing that Kentucky's is US 79. (I don't count US 52's two brief excursions into Pike County because it's maintained by WVDOT.)
As for West Virginia, also guessing that US 30 wins.
That's easy: US 160 less than one mile long in NM, a road that has a driveway going to the Four Corners Monument.

US 69 would be the shortest at about 12.5 miles.
West Virginia - US 30 at about 4 miles?
I just briefly posted here about a state route, but then I re-read the thread title and quickly deleted my post. I should have edited my post instead but this should help fill the void anyways.
In Georgia, US 123 is the shortest US Highway at 17.7 miles.
Not far behind are US 11 (22.7 miles), and US 378 (23.4 miles).
I did this research on my own but I'm pretty certain these are the three shortest US Highways in GA (and they all immediately came to mind, too) :D
I'd have to assume that for Nebraska, US 159 is the champion, though I'm not sure precisely how long it is. US 159 may very well be the Kansas champion as well.
I don't live in a U.S. state, but the shortest U.S. route that is within two hours of me would be U.S. 2 in New York with its glorious 4,760 feet; not quite one mile.

US 138 and US 159 in Nebraska are very close...Rand McN puts 138 as a mile shorter.
For Kansas, it is either US 177 or US 270

The other of U.S. 22's spur routes that reaches Maryland is shorter, according to the State Highway Administration's
Highway Location Reference - U.S. 522 in Washington County is about 2.3 miles (that includes the concurrency in Maryland with I-70) from the West Virginia border to the Pennsylvania line (this is the point near Hancock where the distance from the Potomac River to the Pennsylvania border is at its shortest).

I agree, but not by following that logic. The gap in US 2 is because of Canada–that is, we can imagine that if the territory between the segments of US 2 were part of the U.S., then the route would be continuous through there. But the Interstates don't have that excuse, since the territory between their segments
is part of the U.S., yet they're discontinuous anyway.

Although one could imagine I-76 riding along I-80 and I-71 unsigned, and I-84 along I-80 and I-380 (PA)... as amusing as the concept is, though, it's pointless.

What is the shortest "longest US Highway" in a state just to reverse the question?
Has to be Rhode Island.
Likely, at a mere 57 miles for US 1.
We could also ask about the longest "shortest US highway".
How about Alaska? It's longest US highway is nothing with a length of zero.
US 97 disagrees!
Officially US 97 never existed in Alaska. Canada had to re number some highways as 97, but since Canada refused, US 97 didn't get approved in Alaska.

So this explains why BC 97 is numbered the way it is!
And BC 101, 99, 95, 93, AB 93, MB 83, 29, 75, 59, ON 71, 61, and NB 95.
Canadians were good sports and accommodated the US route numbers... and then we went and changed a bunch of them to Interstate numbers.

Also the ~4 km-long BC 395, connecting the Crowsnest Highway (BC/AB 3) to US 395.

D'oh, and I'm the one that drafted that route for Clinched Highways! :pan:
I just caught that MB 75 is actually a northern extension of US 75 and that US 83 also turns into MB 83. Now for a question. Did the US and Mexico cooperate on US 57 / Mex 57 or was that by chance?

Was a northern US 75 extension. That border crossing is now barricaded, and cross-border traffic now takes I-29 and the short MB 29 connection to MB 75 the rest of the way to Winnipeg.

I think Manitoba 29 has been decommissioned and Manitoba 75 extended to the border.

Mexico 57 was there first. Texas renumbered state highways to TX 57 in 1966 and US 57 in 1970.
US 57: Nixon's illegal immigrant.

Which would make MB 75 now a northern extension of I-29 in North Dakota, rather than US 75 (which still continues on its old course and dead-ends at the international border, on the other side of the North Dakota/Minnesota state line).
But MB 75 still was a northern extension of US 75 rather than I-29, before the US 75 border crossing was closed.
Manitoba 29 wasn't decommissioned and Manitoba 75 wasn't rerouted until 2012.
