Highways with the most former designations?

In Oklahoma, the highway that runs through Locust Grove and Kansas has been known as OK 11, then OK 33, then US 412, then Scenic US 412, and is currently Alternate US 412.  The highway from Muskogee to Wagoner via Okay was originally OK 6, then US 73, then US 69, and now OK 16.  For a time, it was also OK 2, duplexed with US 73 and possibly US 69.  These two stretches of highway have had 5 different designations.  What roads in your state have changed numbers the most times?

The current IL-53 from Bolingbrook to Gardner has been IL-4, US-66, US-66A, and IL-53.

In North Texas:

Denton-Whitesboro Hwy: SH 24, SH 10, SH 99 (route change Denton to Aubrey), US 377.
What is now FM 3524: SH 24, SH 10, SH 99, Spur 428, FM 3524.

Main St in Frisco: SH 39, SH 24, SH 24T, FM 720, FM 3537 (between SH 289 and FM 2478 only) Oddly the 24T came after 24, because 24 moved to what is US 380 now.

NJ the max is probably 4 - original 1923 numbering, changed in 1929, changed in 1953, got bypassed. Something like NJ 166, which was US 9, which was NJ 4, which was NJ 35... or something. It's Friday. Can't think.

You might be able to get more out of county routes that were bypassed at a convenient time.

County roads do not count.  I stated "highways" which implies a state highway at minimum.

It is truly one of the nicest rides, and a county highway.

Because of the historical swaps between I-70, I-76, I-79 and their 3DIs in Pittsburgh probably set PA's record for most designations on the Parkway West between the Fort Pitt Tunnel and roughly current I-79

PA 28 (1951-1961)
I-70 (1960-1964)
I-79 (1964-1972)
I-76 (1972-1973)
I-279 (1973-2009)
I-376 (2009-present)

I started the thread so I get to make the rules.  Only state or US highways count.  Interstates would also count but I doubt there are any that would be any eligible for this thread.

The current NY 185 in Crown Point would take the cake I believe for the state of New York.

NY 347 (1930-1934)
NY 8 (1934-1968)
NY 903 (old reference route system after 1968)
NY 910L (new reference route system until 2008)
NY 185 (April 4, 2008 to present)

All for a 4.11 mile stretch of highway.

Overlaps are cheating. Otherwise I-465 around Indy beats that.

On a technicality: Devils Elbow, MO.   US 66 (Mk II), later was part of I-44 (despite having at-grade crossings, now Secondary Route Z, though I doubt it wins the contest.

Also I-244 St Louis now I-270. But not enough designations for serious consideration ;)

Was Highway Z actually signed as I-44?  Got a picture?
