Road Trippin': State Route 275, short and sweet

Perhaps there are shorter highways on the planet, but State Route 275 surely is a serious contender considering it traverses only 230 meters, or less than 0.15 miles. Better known as the Tower Bridge, it packs a lot of scenery into its small stretch between downtown Sacramento (to the east) and West Sacramento, as it crosses over the Sacramento River. Pedestrian paths on both sides allow for views of Old Sacramento and the CalSTRS building to the north, and U.S. Highway 50/Business Interstate 80 to the south.
