The most recently designated in Oregon have been:

  OR 132, the Delta Highway in Eugene, designated in 2020;

  OR 127, the Cornelius Pass Highway, designated in 2021.

Both were fairly quickly signed as state routes after receiving their designations.  However, several of the state routes designated back in 2002 from formerly route-less state maintained highways are still not signposted 22 years later.

I-11 and SR 173 in Boulder City were created at the same time, in 2018.

Interestingly, since Nevada renumbered its highway system in 1976, there have only been five new routes commissioned. They are:
- SR 294 south of Winnemucca (1981)
- SR 171, the McCarran Airport connector from I-215 (1994)
- SR 172, the old section of US-93 approaching Hoover Dam (2010)
- SR 439, USA Parkway east of Sparks (2015)
- SR 173 (2018)

Quote from: -- US 175 -- on November 24, 2024, 06:26:19 AMTX:
* I-2 and I-14 are 2 of the latest new interstates. I-69's suffix splits (I-69E,C,W) are only the second instance of those in the state.
* The latest US addition I know of would be a business route of US 175 in Poynor after a recent widening project included a bypass of the town.  The upcoming Loop 88 around the south and west parts of Lubbock is supposed to become a new US 84 bypass there, which would mean a new business route of US 84 would take its place through the city.

I'm not sure about the newest state-level routing/numbering in TX.

I'm trying to research the newest FM, loops and spurs but it looks like the most recently designated SH route is SH 84 in Laredo. The most recent route to be built and signed looks like it's SH 9 in 2014 

I was thinking FM 4000 might have been the newest, officially designated in 2013, though there's probably one that's newer that used a lower number.

Newest loop might be 564 (2010), though there are a couple that are unbuilt (88, 1853). Newest spur I think is 195 (2016).

I think you're right. Actually I think FM routes are designated chronologically so likely 4000 is the most recent.
I love freeways and roads in any state but Texas will always be first in my heart

For Washington, it's SR 213, an unsigned little spur off US 97 that was finally added to the state highway inventory in 2008 after decades as a legislated but unacknowledged route.

Odd that two adjacent states both got an unrelated 11 recently, especially since it's such a low number.

Ontario's newest highway is the 418 (opened Dec. 9, 2019).

Quote from: TheHighwayMan3561 on November 24, 2024, 10:48:41 AMMN is TH 167 in the 2020s, which was a renumbering of a portion of TH 67 after 67 had to be rerouted following a permanent closure of its old route due to a slide along the Minnesota River. TH 167 may also not be long-lived as its primary purpose was to connect to a state park that has since been eliminated.

That state park still existed 2 months ago.  Has it been turned back since then?

Not counting 167, the most recent Minnesota route that still exists would be TH 336, created in the mid-1990s (authorized in the early '90s but may not have been signed for a few years).  Two other routes were created after 336 but have since been decommissioned:  TH 312 (along the then-completed segments of the US 212 freeway in Eden Prairie), and TH 323 (a short-lived loop off of the also-decommissioned TH 298 in Faribault).

Not counting completion of the Interstates (like I-93, which wasn't opened until 1982), only two new routes have been created in Vermont in the past ~50 years:  VT 289 in the early 1990s, and VT 279 in 2004.

It was officially transfered from the state to the Upper Sioux Community in February.

The interesting part of this for me is how California's post-1964 number recyclig just seems to be "oh, it's available, let's use it regardless of importance or route length" which is how 7 and 11 became short border connectors.  21 and 31 have remained unused since the 1970s and in theory could have been used instead of the 2x1 format for the three Orange County tollways.

(7 went from "major north-south connector to west LA" in 1934, to "oh, we need to use the number now for the Long Beach Freeway to prevent duplication with I-15" in 1964, to a short spur that is on the same latitude as Route 115 nearby in the 1990s)

The newest state roads in Florida are SR 686A and SR 690, the tolled Gateway Expressway system linking I-275 with PIE Airport, U.S. 19 and CR 611 (Bayside Bridge) in Pinellas County. These collectively opened on April 26, 2024.

Prior to that, State Road 28 appeared on FDOT GIS data along newly built Philip Grifitts, Sr. Parkway in Panama City. The route appears to remain unposted as of 2023 GSV imagery.

While there have been a number of frontage roads added as unsigned state roads in Miami-Dade as of late, the last designation for a service road to actually be signed is SR 160 along a snippet of Killearn Center Boulevard between SR 61 and U.S. 319 in Tallahassee. This was posted around 2010.

Before that by 2007, SR 23 was designated along Chaffee Road, and then Branan-Chaffee Expressway, predecessor to the First Coast Expressway, in Jacksonville.

Interstates, I-295 was signed along the east beltway in place of SR 9A around Jacksonville in 2011. The last newly designated Interstate in Florida was I-595, which initially opened in 1988.

For U.S. Highways in Florida, U.S. 301 Bypass was designated along the Baldwin Bypass in Duval County in 2010. Before that, U.S. 301 ALT was signed along the Starke Truck Route in 2019. Both bannered routes for U.S. 301 were formally approved by AASHTO in 2021.

Alex

Delaware's more recent state route is SR 54 ALT linking SR 54 with SR 26 at Bethany Beach in Sussex County. The route was established in 2004.

SR 24 ALT was also established sometime between 2004 and 2006 between U.S. 113 south of Georgetown and SR 1D/23 at Five Points. Signs for the route were removed by 2016.

The last non-banned state route in Delaware to be designated is SR 286, which is an extension of Maryland Route 285 east from Chesapeake City to SR 15 in New Castle County. Signage for SR 286 appeared in 1993 along with a long extension of SR 15 north from Kent County to SR 71/896 at Summit Bridge.

For U.S. highways, U.S. 9 Truck was formally approved by AASHTO in 1983. This may be the only time AASHTO was involved with the establishment of a truck route for a U.S. Highway. There was also a short-lived U.S. 13 Bypass designated along SR 1 between U.S. 13 at South St. Georges and SR 72 at Wrangle Hill. It was posted from 1995 to 1998.

I-895 was the most recent Interstate designated in the First State. It was a temporary renumbering of I-95 through Wilmington during a major reconstruction project from 1979 to 1982. I-495 was the last Interstate in Delaware to be constructed, which started in 1968 and was finished in 1977.

CA reuses lowest available numbers. Next would be 21.

And Nevada doesn't use two-digit numbers at all, other than 28 and 88. But 11 is an Interstate.

As mentioned elsewhere, SD's newest designation is SD 1889, to be signed likely sometime next year after the state legislature approves the highway redesignations relating to the move of US 14 and US 83 to the bypass route in Pierre.

The work that resulted in the creation of I-11 and SR 173 in 2018 also prompted the creation of US 93 Business (former US 93).

I think you only looked at one table out of three on the Wiki page for Nevada state routes. There were quite a few more new state routes within the 500/600 urban series and the 700/800 secondary series designated during the 1990s or later. The most notable additions:
- SR 564, Lake Mead Pkwy in Henderson (2002) - This had been the eastern half of SR 146, before I-215 was built on top of the center portion in the late 1990s (Clark County co-signed SR 146 with I-215 for a while, but NDOT doesn't overlap state highways with other routes)
- SR 659, McCarran Blvd loop in Reno/Sparks (2009) - Portions were former SR 650 & 651, removed from state maintenance by the early 2000s, but then the whole loop brought back under state maintenance under one new number.
- SR 613, Summerlin Pkwy in Las Vegas (2018)

Is NV-171 real? I see it in OpenStreetMap, but not in TravelMapping.

DandyDan

As a byproduct of the rerouting of US 77 around Fremont, Nebraska, Google Maps now shows NE Spur 27E connecting US 77 to the small community of Inglewood, Nebraska. Inglewood lies between downtown Fremont and the Platte River. I don't know why it exists, but it's big enough to need a connection to the state highway system.

Kind of a weird reason since other unsigned routes are in TM.

Generally in the US, TM is only including unsigned interstates.  There are definitely exceptions (such as MD 896, which is included because it is a short part of the longer signed DE/MD/PA 896) and probably some routes in Puerto Rico that do not have GSV coverage.

We have had internal discussions on adding unsigned state routes in the US, but nothing has been implemented.  (https://forum.travelmapping.net/index.php?topic=4114.0)
