But when it comes to local roads, the thoroughfare that's widely considered the longest continuous street in the U.S. is Colfax Avenue in Colorado. It measures 49.5 miles from end to end, stretching east to west through the Denver area and connecting communities such as Aurora, Lakewood, and Golden. In Denver, the road hugs the northern edge of Civic Center Park, where you'll find the Colorado Capitol. A block away, you can tour the Denver Mint for free (though you'll need to reserve your spot in advance). The street also features prominently in the Colfax Marathon, held each May.
