Bypasses of bypasses

[ftballfan]

There are quite a few areas that have been bypassed twice and likely more.

I have a few just in Michigan.

Ludington: US-31 went into town for a couple of years, then bypassed via Pere Marquette Hwy, then bypassed via current freeway

Pentwater: US-31 used to follow BUS US-31, then bypassed via Oceana Dr, then bypassed via current freeway (which is closer to Pentwater than Oceana Dr)

Zeeland: M-21 went through town, then was placed on current Chicago Dr, now I-196 bypasses both

Grand Rapids: Division and Fulton were both state highways, then M-114 (now M-11/M-37) bypassed downtown, then US-131, M-21 (now I-196), and US-16 (now I-96) were moved onto freeways, now M-6 bypasses M-11

The construction of I-43 between Milwaukee and Green Bay bypasses some old bypasses of then-US 141.
Port Washington - CTH LL (complete with a folded diamond interchange at WI 33.)
Manitowoc - CTH R was effectively a US 141 bypass of the city
Denmark - CTH R swings around the west side of this small town near Green Bay.

There's also two examples on US 41 in Appleton and Green Bay.
In Green Bay, US 41 used to bypass the core of downtown via Military Ave and Lombardi Ave.
In Appleton, Northland Ave (CTH OO) once served as a US 41 bypass of the Fox Cities before the current freeway.

A few Virginia examples:

In Danville, current US 29 Business used to be a bypass, with current VA 293 once being US 29 Business.

In Warrenton, current US 29 Business was once the bypass, with current US 15 Business through Downtown being the Business Route.

In Lynchburg current US 29 Business (Lynchburg Expressway) used to be the US 29 Bypass.  Now it's US 29 Business, with the US 29 Lynchburg/Madison Heights Bypass a few miles to the east.

Would the proposed (but may never be built) northern arc through the Atlanta suburbs be an example? It could be a bypass for I-285. And what about the proposed I-269 around Memphis? That will serve as an alternative to I-240.

Kokomo, Indiana will soon be bypassed by a new US 31 freeway to replace the current US 31 expressway that circles the east side of the city with some 15 stoplights. Maybe INDOT will get it right this time.

* The Gateway Connector, if built, would bypass the IL 3 bypass of Columbia

* Not for sure about it, but I think US 218 had the original Mount Pleasant bypass route (Grand Avenue) bypassed with the current bypass

In McPherson, KS, there is the original route of U.S. 81 which goes directly through the business district (part of which is present-day Business U.S. 81), a bypass route to the west of the business district (part of which is presently Spur K-153 & regular K-153), and Interstate 135 (present-day U.S. 81) to the east of the business district.

As I understand it, US-49 S between Jackson and the Gulf Coast will have a few BOBs once it's converted to freeway.  I don't know if the project to make the upgrade will ever really get off the ground, but from what I've heard there are plans for new bypasses of the old bypasses at Magee and Collins.

[agentsteel53]

triple bypasses are hard to find.  Usually you just have the old two-laner, which is bypassed by an expressway, which is then in return bypassed by the Interstate. 

The only one I can think of as being a possibility is Portsmouth, NH.  I believe US-1A is the oldest alignment, which was bypassed by US-1, which was then bypassed by the appropriately named By-Pass US-1, which was in turn bypassed by I-95.

there is a NH-1B in the same general vicinity, but I believe that's always just been an alternate.

Miami is a good example. They originally built the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) as a bypass, then further bypassed it with the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike.

Also, they're working on (or at least planning) a new toll bypass around the SW corner of Jacksonville - toll SR-23.

triple bypasses are hard to find.

Selma, NC might qualify. But I'm not sure all the realignments are bypasses in their own rights.

[RoadWarrior56]

Look at a map or even Google Earth.  The old US 66 corridor had first-generation bypasses throughout its section in Illinois.  Then I-55 came along and bypassed most of those old bypasses.

[pianocello]

US-6 in Davenport, IA originally went through downtown, but then a bypass (Kimberly Road) was built in the 30s. Now, I-80 is about 3 miles north of the original bypass.

Also, US-66 bypassed many towns in central IL, only to be bypassed by I-55 (this may be true for other states)

You know, there are probably some triple bypasses in there. Lexington, for example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=40.6425&lon=-88.79033&zoom=16&layers=M (Grove-Wall was 66, and already looks like a bypass). Head northeast and there are similar configurations in Pontiac and Dwight. It's possible that the innermost bypasses were complete by 1926, but they certainly weren't the original through highway.

US 33 in Lancaster, Oh.
Columbus Street was original US 33 (Oh 31 before that), then Memorial Dr. was the first bypass completed in the 1960s, but it's flaw was that all intersections were at-grade (to appease business owners back then). Then after 20 years of debate, the current US 33 Lancaster bypass was opened in 2004.

Would one claim TN 840 as a bypass of I-440 around the south of Nashville?

[NE2]

I wouldn't call SR 840 a bypass of anything that goes straight through Nashville. It's a bypass for angular movements and a suburb-to-suburb highway.

[agentsteel53]

maybe the old National Road has some triple bypasses.  any extant routings that are first an 1840s or so one-lane carriage route, bypassed by a 1910s two-lane concrete, then a 1940s four-lane arterial, and a 1960s interstate?

Eastern Illinois is a good bet. Around Marshall, there's the original brick road, then a nearby city street, then the original US 40 bypass around the town, and then I-70.

Except those aren't all strictly bypasses, at least not in the sense of bypassing built-up areas.

US 17 Bypass bypasses US 17 around Elizabeth City, NC which bypasses US 17 Business in the city itself

NY 25 bypassed in Riverhead, NY by Suffolk CR 58, but development occurred along CR 58, so a new alignment of the eastern part of NY 24 passes to the south of both. Don't know if that would count...

How about where you have former NY 27A bypassing an even older section of road (out by a double RR crossing), obviously itself bypassed by the current NY 27 freeway. There's a Long Island example for you.

Surprised not to see Myrtle Beach, where 17 Bypass got so built up that SC 31 was constructed.

And finally, a TRIPLE!!!: Spartanburg, SC. Original US 29 (Main St.) is bypassed by current 29 (St. John St.). That was all bypassed by I-85, but the original alignment of that is now Business 85, and the current I-85 is clearly a triple bypass.

Yeah, there's quite a few of those with 27/27A. Especially in Moriches with Sunrise Hwy (NY 27)/Montauk Hwy. (CR 80)/Moriches Bypass (CR 98) and my hometown of Bellport (NY 27 once ran along South Country Rd./CR 36 in the 20s until a straight section of Montauk Hwy./old NY 27 was built to bypass that in the 30s and then Sunrise Hwy./NY 27 was built to bypass all of that in the 60s).

[kharvey10]

old US 66 (Lindbergh) being bypassed by I-270.  Now further west there is an arterial MO 141 that is functioning as a bypass of I-270.  All three are heavily used roads in west St. Louis County.

Here is a Triple ByPass side by side. Flintstone, MD 
Old National Road/US 40 now Gilpin Road was bypassed in the early 50's with "new" US 40 now MD 144. In 1991 it was bypassed with I-68.
