What is America's longest continuous street?

Answer 1

What some sources say is the longest continuous street in America is Denver's Colfax Avenue which is considered 40 miles long, however its name changes as it moves further east from the city, making some to believe it ends earlier than it does.

However, if one wants a more definite answer, the longest continuous street in America is Chicago's Western Avenue which goes at about 23.5 miles all the way from the city's most northern street Howard Street all the way down to the far south side of the city.

Oh, and by the way... O street in Lincoln, Nebraska is actually the longest street in the US at over 75 miles in length.

Oh, and by the way... a strong contender is El Camino Real (SF Bay Area, CA) which stretches over 40 miles from Daly City to San Jose, CA. This also stretches roughly a further 6 miles north into San Francisco as San Jose Avenue and Guerrero Street (terminating at the junction with Market), and at San Jose it continues east towards Mount Hamilton as Santa Clara Street and Alum Rock Avenue, then twists through the mountain before heading north to Livermore as Mines Road, terminating at the junction with ; a distance of around 45 miles. This makes the total length of this street at least 91 miles.

Oh, and by the way Yonge Street in Toronto, Canada is the longest street in the world at about 1178 miles long! (This is an urban myth; Yonge Street does not actually run continuously for this long.)

Answer 2

The longest main street in America is located in Island Park, Idaho. It is a thirty-five mile long street and goes across the entire city of Island Park.
