Theres CT/RI/MA 138.  Not very long, despite entering three states, including crossing RI at its widest point.

I think we've had this discussion, but would PA/MD/DE 896 count? :sombrero:
NJ Roads FTW!

We have had this discussion, and the supposed Md. 896 isn't signed.  So I'd say no.

It's not two states, but it crosses a state line twice:  NJ 440, NY 440, NJ 440 from Jersey City to (approximately) Metuchen via Staten Island.

Well in that case there's VA/WV/VA 102, and VA/WV/VA 259.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

And VA/WV/VA 311 IIRC

That would be VA/WV/VA/WV 311, going north.
That would be an extra /quote.

MA/NH 28 doesn't go anywhere near RI.  Starts down on Cape Cod, passes through Boston, and heads up to NH.
It is (I think) the longest state route in MA, though.

28 is longer than 9 and 2?  dang.

You were probably thinking of 138.

Well, my roadgeekery is of the practical variety:  I'm interested in the geography of roads rather than, say, paving types or lane counts.  I'm inclined therefore to disregard unsigned routes.  (If I were a cartographer, I wouldn't show them on my maps because showing a route number that doesn't exist on the ground is useless if not actually misleading.)  Now the 200 feet of unsigned road in Maryland between Del. 896 and Pa. 896 may not be as...consequential...as the supposed I-478, but by that principle....

Prior to the decomissioning of the MI leg, there was IN/MI/OH 120.

NY/PA 5 does come close to crossing into other states on both ends (OH on the west end, MA or VT on the east end).

There is TX/OK/K-23 from U.S. 83 in Lipscomb County, TX, to K-156 west of Kalvesta, KS.  Part of this Route 23 in Oklahoma is shared with U.S. 270.

BZZZZT! You're shortchanging the north end by 120 miles. The north end of K-23 (and thus, the three state duplex) is at K-383 near Dresden
Peace to you, and... don't drive like my brother.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is.  It crosses at MA N-S at its widest point, plus adds the long hook around the Cape's south shore.

For a convenient crack estimate of each route's length, I checked the Clinched Highway Mapping site. Sure, the figures will be a little off, but stuff's in the right ballpark. I didn't wanna take the time to trace out Google driving directions that stayed on route...
MA9: 132.9 mi
MA2: 139.6 mi
MA28: 149.4 mi
US20: 149.4 mi (Yes, same thing, not a paste-o.)

Now that we're including historic routings in this thread, Didn't WY-789 continue from Canada to Mexico at one point in time?
Davenport, IA -> Valparaiso, IN -> Ames, IA -> Orlando, FL -> Gainesville, FL -> Evansville, IN

Yes, WY-789 once ran through Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Trans-Canada Hwy:
MB/SK/AB/BC 1
MB/SK/AB/BC 16

And before Quebec's renumbering highways, PQ-2 (now PQ-338/A-20/PQ-138/PQ-132/PQ-185) linked both former ONT-2 and NB-2 while PQ-17 (current PQ-342) linked with ONT-17.  NB-2 and NS-2 was also once linked together before TCH-104 opened.
