List of U.S. highways that went state with the same number

[Scott5114]

Don't forget, K-66 and MO-66 are also parts of old US 66.

You forgot OK 66 

It was mentioned in the first post!

As was K66 and MO 66 !

Are you sure?

I thought this might be kind of fun to do.  The ones that I can think of offhand are M-27 (former US-27) from north of Indian River to Cheboygan in Michigan, M-10 in Detroit (former US-10), CA-99 (former US-99) in California, Oklahoma and Arizona have portions of U.S. Route 66 that are now state highway 66's, and Oregon has Org. 99E + 99w, (former US-99E + 99W).

This one may or may not count (you be the judge), but US-466 in California is now CA-46, just removing one of the sixes.

The former NE 38 was a vestige of the old US 38. A couple of others: US 163 is now IA 163. IL 54 is a former eastward extension of US 54.

MN 61 and MN 65 were once parts of US 61 & US 65.

Well, if you mean the part highlighted in red, my 2007 Rand McNally Road Atlas shows AZ-66 from I-40's Exit 139 to Exit 53, OK-66 from I-44's (Will Rogers Turnpike) Exit 289 to US-412/I-44.

I'm extending this topic a little further to include federal, state, or provincial highways that were returned to a local control with the same number.  In the Dominion of Canada, Ontario's Hwy 46 became Victoria County Rd. 46, and then on another municipal level with the same number.  I'll let the following article explain it a little better:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_46_(Ontario) 

[NE2]

Well Ontario has a lot of those, and so does Florida. No point in listing them all.

[Dr Frankenstein]

Indeed, Ontario downloaded over 5,000 km of highways to counties and other local authorities in 1997 and 1998. Therefore, the instances of provincial highways becoming county roads with the same number are extremely common.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but CA-195 is a remainder of the former US-195. Another portion of the route became CA-177.

[corco]

Uh...wait. When did US-195 go into California? It was commissioned in 26 as the Lewiston ID -> Sandpoint ID road via Pullman WA and Spokane WA and it still follows a truncated part of that corridor.

[NE2]

Quillz, are you looking for the fictional highways forum?

[US71]

Uh...wait. When did US-195 go into California? It was commissioned in 26 as the Lewiston ID -> Sandpoint ID road via Pullman WA and Spokane WA and it still follows a truncated part of that corridor.

From Wikipedia:

US 195 was established and planned in the original 1926 plan for the U.S. highway system. When US 195 was established, the highway combined different highways together. In Idaho, US 195 was co-signed with U.S. Route 95 and a short segment of Sampson Trail Y. In Washington, US 195 was co-signed with PSH 3 ED, part of PSH 3 CP, and part of PSH 3. The original northern terminus was in Sandpoint, Idaho, and the route from the current terminus to Sandpoint was co-signed U.S. Route 2. This section was replaced fully by US 2 in 1969.

I based my post off this info:

Constructed in the 1940's it was the former U.S. Highway 195 which connected with the former U.S. Routes 60/70 and then Box Canyon Road/Pierce Street to Mecca located near the Salton Sea.

Source, please?

[corco]

It's from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_177

- which is uncited and flat wrong. There's lots of cool sites that show lots of information about US highways that are better than wikipedia (see us-highways.com and usends.com, among others), and I have yet to see a California US 195 mentioned on any of them.

Not your fault, obviously- it just irritates me how much random bad information is on Wikipedia. A lack of information is one thing, but blatantly bad information sucks. Where did that line even come from? It's like some random dude decided to just write a bunch of stuff and call it good. No information is better than bad information. Ugh.

[national highway 1]

 Wasn't pre-1964 CA 195 planned to be part of what is now US 95?

Yep, some random dude.

Old U.S. 25 in Michigan is now designated only as M-25 from Port Huron to Port Austin, M-3 from just west of New Baltimore to Detroit, M-85 in southwest Detroit and M-125 from just north of Monroe to the Ohio state line.

Old U.S. 10 on the Lodge Freeway in Detroit and Southfield, MI is now designated M-10. The portion that existed on Telegraph Road north of the Lodge is now an extension of U.S. 24.

US 15 -> NY 15
US 104 -> NY 104

Md. 213 on the Eastern Shore mostly matches old US 213.

Indeed! The original US 213 extended from Elkton, MD down to Ocean City. After the Bay Bridge was built, US 50 took over the section of 213 from Wye Mills down to OC. In the 1970's, after the US designation was dropped, the route also took over MD 280's designation from US 40 in Elkton north to the PA line.

Illinois has a bizarre one that's phonetic rather than actual.  US-30A became IL-38.  Sound it out.

US 54 east of Springfield became IL 54

A portion of US 91 in Arizona became Mohave County Route 91.

AZ 80 & NM 80 were once part of US 80 until 1989.
