What are the only two states that share a border, but do not have a road connecting them, in the lower 48?
I'd LOVE to hear this...seriously. (do you mean that "no road crosses their common border"....or that "you can't drive from one to the other"?)
I'll guess Minnesota and Michigan.....OR Missouri and Kentucky
Arizona and Colorado......OR Utah and New Mexico....theoretically "touch" each other, but you can't go between either 'pair' without entering a THIRD state....but this doesn't sound like what you meant.
Other than my first answer(s)... (I'm counting on a water border there), I can't imagine the answer.

Utah and New Mexico meet at the "Four Corners," and the only road in the area runs from Arizona to Colorado--so you can't take a road from Utah directly to New Mexico. Am I close? (Oops...I see I'm the second person to make this guess!)
Are you thinking of Kentucky/Missouri? There are a few places where the Mississippi River has changed course, leaving a bit of Kentucky on the west side of where the river is now, so the roads come in only from Missouri. Look here, and zoom in:

There is no all-weather road between Montana and South Dakota, but there are a couple of back roads you can drive across on nice summer days.
There are 2 roads connecting Harding County, SD. to Montana. Capital , MT. connects to Camp Crook , SD. some is paved, and open year round.... The four corners has to be the answer.

If that road runs directly from Arizona to Colorado, without passing entirely into Utah or New Mexico, then all you have to do is drive transversely across the road from shoulder to shoulder, to go from Utah to New Mexico. But I think there is a monument there, so the AZ/CO road has to pass around it through either UT or NM.
I believe the largest county without a divided four lane is Deschutes County, Oregon, pop. 115,347 as of 2000 census.
I live in Oregon and I can say for certainty that there is a divided four lane highway (US Hwy 97) in Deschutes County. It's not entirely divided, but it is in several places for several miles.
The 4 corners monument road exits off US route 160 , in NM. The road ends in NM. at the monument. To be in all four states , you have to walk several hundred feet to the concrete pad. A very desolate place........... US 160 runs NE-SW in to AZ. You could drive into UT. from NM. on the desert, its all flat , and little to stop you, but , where would you go , once you got there ?............ Plenty of bleached bones around to tell the story......
