O Street In Lincoln

Post by mrsticka »

I read somewhere that it's the longest stretch of straight road in the world. Is that true?

Wow, I would have never know that... Judging that it is straight as an arrow all the way from highway 75 to south of York, that would be a very, very long stretch. Looks like it could be about 80 miles straight.

Google isn't showing this to be true.

My Google search is showing the stretch of I-80 between Lincoln and Grand Island is one of the longest at almost 80 miles, but the longest is a stretch of highway in Saudi Arabia at 120 miles.
