A Boeing 777-200 weighs about 700,000 pounds but has 16 tires, which is only 43750 pounds per tire.
According to Boeing's published specs for rigid pavements, you can land a 777 on 11 inches (thickness) of rigid pavement under typical conditions.

Typical highways have 10 inches (thickness) of material on top and another 10-15 inches (thickness) of sub base.
They are usually 12 foot lane widths, so with nothing but a center stripe, you have 48 feet across on a 4 lane highway. A 777 has a 36 foot wide wheel spacing for the outer wheels, measured from the outside to outside facing the airplane straight ahead.
You could land it in many different places, though you wouldn't want to do it and it would be hard to conceal, but not impossible.
P.S. Read and learn, asshole.
