The distance is more than the circumference of the Earth. If you wrapped a rope around the planet at the equator, the length would be around 25k miles.

Some roads aren’t perfectly straight (not that this seems like it could explain what happened in this particular case).

Sure. However, if the road around the planet goes to Everest and back, the total length of travel will exceed the circumference of the planet.
