Highways that once entered a state but no longer do

[bugo]

US 61 used to serve Illinois but it was rerouted to go directly from Iowa to Wisconsin. I think I-87 used to cut the corner of Connecticut. What are some other examples? US highways and interstates only. Decommissioned or truncated routes do not count, only rerouted highways like the ones I mentioned.

US 25E used to clip the southwestern corner of Virginia, but once the Cumberland Gap Tunnel was opened, it now goes directly from Kentucky to Tennessee. A byproduct of that is that the former single-state (Virginia) US 58 now has a short segment in Tennessee.

The split of US 45 into US 45E and 45W used to occur in Fulton, Ky., but due to new construction in both Kentucky and Tennessee, it now occurs just south of the state line, and neither of those two suffixed routes now enter Kentucky.

Similarly, the split of US 31 into its E and W routes used to occur in Indiana, but due to the closure of the K&I Bridge to vehicular traffic and other reroutings, the split now occurs in Kentucky.

I-87 (CT, now NY)
US 5 (NH, now VT)

And probably the oldest U.S. example: the National Road. It used to enter Virginia, but it doesn't anymore. Not because the road got realigned, but because West Virginia was created.

US 58 EB used to enter Tennessee in Bristol prior to I-81's existence.
US 158 used to enter Virginia before being rerouted to continue across the northern tier of NC.

US 340 in Harpers Ferry does the opposite...until the early 1950s it went directly from WV to MD.

US 61 used to serve Illinois but it was rerouted to go directly from Iowa to Wisconsin.

US-61 and US-151 only served Illinois during a temporary detour after the old bridge was closed, and before the new one was opened (1969-1982).

No, US 58 still crosses the Virginia state line into Tennessee. It extends about 1/2 of a mile to US 25E in Cumberland Gap.

US95 used to briefly curve into Washington, then back into Idaho until it was realigned circa-1975.

I am aware of this.  What I am saying is that US 58 used to also enter Tennessee in the City of Bristol from 1933-66, then was moved northward to avoid going into Tennessee.  At that point in time, US 58 did not enter Tennessee at its western end (did not occur until late 1990s).

DE 100 used to continue into PA but now stops at the state line, courtesy of PennDOT's shifting and truncating PA 100 onto US 202 just south of Exton.

Call it a hunch, but don't you mean PA 309?

No, he meant PA 100, which used to continue south of West Chester though the exact route escapes me at the moment...

From the DE state line, it followed Creek Road and mutliplexed with PA 52 into West Chester and met Business US 322 at High Street.  From downtown northward, old PA 100 continued along N. High Street (which became Pottstown Pike once leaving the borough) to the current PA 100.

He said no truncations or decommissionings.  That is why US 27, or even US 611 are not included which are most obvious to us.

What I meant (which I did not clarify) is that wasn't PA 100 truncated to PA 309, not US 202?

[GaryV]

Former US-112 (before it was decommissioned, so it counts)

At one time it went into IN, but later stayed in MI.

[national highway 1]

US 191 used to enter Idaho, but was rerouted into Wyoming and eastern Utah.
US 95, at the junction of US 195, used to sneak into Washington but was realigned staying in Idaho.

End of US 195

US 5 New Hampshire. US 611 New Jersey.

Wrong end, we're talking about the southern end closest to Delaware, hence the mention of DE 100 in the first place.

[froggie]

US 5 New Hampshire.

I'd like to see the specifics of this.

[Zeffy]

US 5 New Hampshire.

I'd like to see the specifics of this.

From what I read, it was routed into New Hampshire along (what is now) NH 12 between North Walpole and Charlestown from 1927 to 1929.

Also US 16.

US 61 used to serve Illinois but it was rerouted to go directly from Iowa to Wisconsin.

US-61 and US-151 only served Illinois during a temporary detour after the old bridge was closed, and before the new one was opened (1969-1982).

Yea, they crossed into Iowa on the old Sandy Hook toll bridge, only WI 35 continued southward from there into Illinois.
