Yes. The roads remain yours, and you can continue to expand them and settle on them. There are two weird related rules, though: An opponent’s settlement at the end of your road prevents you from expanding through that settlement.
What happens in Catan when you run out of settlements?
If you need more settlements, you have to upgrade some to cities. As soon as you upgrade one settlement to a city, the settlement returns to your supply. The same goes for roads and cities, they too run out. As such, the longest possible road has length 15 (or 30 if you include ships from the Seafarers expansion).
How do roads work in Catan?

How many roads do you have in Catan?
Example: Player 1 has 8 roads which is broken up in the middle. Players 2 & 3 have 7 roads. Who claims the longest road? I doubt there is an official ruling to this so honestly you could make your own rule for it. You could just leave it out and no one it gets it until one player extends their road or you could leave it up to a dice role.
