When did NYSDOT "accept" the US 2 designation?
usends:
NYSDOT (or its predecessor) was notorious for rejecting many of the US routes that were originally proposed in the 1920s. For this reason, there were several US routes that ended at the NY state line. AASHO's 1927 route log shows that US 2 was included among those routes, because the original description had it ending at the NY/VT line just east of Rouses Point. Of course in more recent times NYSDOT does signpost a one-mile segment of US 2. What year did they finally agree to accept the US 2 designation?

It was sometime in 1930, according to this article from USEnds.com.

Rouses Point Bridge opened 7/16/1937. My 1935 map still has it ending at the VT line with the ferry. I am trying to dig out my other maps, but I would work around 7/16/1937 for now.
