    Highway or Interstate Freeway?

    My guess is that it is one of the H Highways on Oahu, HI. But I think there are probably lots of short state highways.

    According to Wikipedia, I-45 in Texas is the shortest Interstate.

    I-45 is not only an intrastate Interstate, but is also the shortest major Interstate (ending in 0 or 5). I-45 is also the longest intrastate Interstate not to touch any state or national borders (Interstate 87 in New York is longer but reaches the Canadian border).

    Elsewhere on Wikipedia, it says I-895 in NY is the shortest.

    This site has an interesting list of 3 digit Interstates and their lengths:

    "California State Route 90" - The Marina Freeway is only 1.5 miles long, and few people, other than those living in the area, have actually driven on it.

    The last I knew, it was the shortest freeway in the U.S.

    You're all lightweights! Kansas Highway 210 in Argonia is all of 2 1/2 blocks long. Google Maps calculates the time to travel the entire distance of the highway at 27 seconds, but you can do better if the cops aren't around.

    In New Jersey State Highway Route 59 in Garwood is only 0.15 miles (0.24km). It is 4 paved lanes and runs between Garwood and Cranford, New Jersey. I would have to think it is the shortest 4 lane highway in the world.

    Pinson Alabama is home to the shortest highway surely not stretching even a quarter mile. Highway 151 if not mistaken, and home to a, if i do say so myself, shady, but rather inconspicuous, unknown water filtration plant.
