We can use roads to go anywhere from the local grocery store to the beach in another city! Have you ever wondered what the longest road in the United States is? According to the Federal Highway Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, “The longest road in the United States was once the second longest: U.S. 20 from Boston, Massachusetts, to Newport, Oregon” (“What Is The Longest Road in the United States?” par. 2). Initially, U.S. 6 was the longest road, but it was shortened in 1963 so that U.S. 20, now at 3,365 miles, became the longest road in the country (par. 53-55). Do you know any long roads in other countries?
