Route 66 is not the longest road in the United States. That honor goes to U.S. Route 20, which extends 3,365 miles (5,415 km) from Boston, Massachusetts, to Newport, Oregon. Route 66 was officially commissioned to extend over 2,448 miles (3,940 km), though the completed route was somewhat shorter and later reduced further by realignments.
