Muncești Highway (Romanian: Şoseaua Muncești) is an urban highway located in the Botanica sector of Chișinău, the capital of Moldova. It is the longest street of Europe, with a length of c. 14 km (8.7 mi).[1]
It starts at the boundary of the Botanica and Centru sectors, head to head with Gagarin Street near the Chișinău Railway Station, and ends at the city periphery with a viaduct near the town of Sîngera (administratively part of the Municipality of Chișinău), being continued to the south-eastern part of Moldova by the M14 road (part of European routes E58 and E581). It runs in parallel with the Moldovan inter-urban railway route Chișinău–Bender, at a short distance from it. There are 970 house (address) numbers throughout the route, and is the host for a big number of industrial enterprises.[1]
The Muncești Highway is one of the oldest streets of Chişinău. In the XVI–XVIII centuries in this area was located a homonymous village, Muncești, which later was enclosed in Chișinău.[1]
