According to Guinness World Records:

The widest avenue in the world is the Avenida 9 de Julio, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its incredible span of around 110 m, 16 lanes of traffic plus landscaped medians occupies an entire city block.

Guinness World Records also has this entry for the widest road which seems to surpass the Argentinian Avenue:

The widest road in the world is the Monumental Axis, running for 2.4 km (1.8 miles) from the Municipal Plaza to the Plaza of the Three Powers in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. The six-lane boulevard was opened in April 1960 and is 250 m (820.2 ft) wide.
