Shortest US Highway in your state

[roadman65]

US 23 in Florida is 37 miles.
US 29 in Florida is 43 miles long.

[Mapmikey]

In North Carolina it is US 178 at under 10 miles.

Mike,
How can you forget US 521 at 3.5 miles?

To quote a NASCAR driver...I ran out of talent entering turn 1...

Since MA & PA (my respective homestates) were already mentioned; I'll chime in on neighboring Delaware, US 9 202 in the Diamond State is just under 31 over 13 miles.

US 202 has to be shorter than that.

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

Noted and earlier post corrected to reflect such.  US 40 in DE is just over 17 miles and US 301 is just under 15 miles.

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.

Idaho: 195 at .3 miles.

The useless concurrency it has with 95 and then DE141 helps it along a bit.

Without those concurrencies, US 202 in DE is just shy of 4.5 miles; 5.5 miles if one includes DE 202 that was once US 202 pre-1981.

Minnesota's shortest is US 8 at just over 22 miles.

Surely 65 and/or 69 are shorter than this.

[froggie]

You're correct...I erred (seems to be a going trend in this thread).

US 69 would be the shortest at about 12.5 miles.

[Big John]

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)

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.

[Dr Frankenstein]

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

199 for California and Oregon.

Without looking it up, isn't US 6 shorter in California?  Again, you might be right on 199.

Oregon is probably US 730.

I looked it up yesterday.  The previous poster is right, 199 is shorter than 6 in California.

Colorado: U.S. 84 is 27 miles long before it dips into New Mexico.

EDIT/CORRECTION: I forgot the useless concurrency of U.S. 400 with U.S. 50, maybe 10 miles or so.

What I typically do in that type of situation is one of two things:

1.  If nobody commented on such prior to my realizing any error(s); I just remove the entire post (if nothing in it is relevent nor correct).

2.  If someone did comment/reply; I just slash out the original post as needed/required.

Can anything in Missouri top the duo of US 166/US 400?

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?

271 used to be longer in Arkansas. It followed US 71 to end at US 64, and it also followed US 59 to reenter Arkansas east of Page.

I remember seeing the signs on U.S. 64

Which state has the longest shortest? I mentioned Massachusetts, but then someone beat me with Connecticut. From the first page:

Massachusetts is surprisingly high for a small state. (US 3, 36 miles)

CT is smaller and higher: US 5 at 54.59 mi.   That is, if you don't count 1A at 1.93 mi.

Sounds like a good tactic.
