?I suppose it depends on what "uninterrupted" means. Of course, there is the 
famous Paris meridian line starting at the observatory that goes for many km 
but outside the observatory grounds, it is only marked by medallions here and 
there I think. And I forget (I have been there) whether on the observatory 
grounds there is a continuous strip or something similar.

Subject: longest uninterupted meridian line in the world

Hj all,

In a herb garden in Hasselt (Belgium) is a meridian line of 90 meters.
At one end it is enclosed by a analematic sundial.
The meridian line will be extended to 230 meters
Does anyone know a uninterupted meridian line that is longer than 200 meters?
There are plans to propose placing the meridian line in Guinness World Records.

Willy Leenders
Hasselt in Flanders (Belgium)

Visit my website about the sundials in the province of Limburg (Flanders) with 
a section 'worth knowing about sundials' (mostly in Dutch):
