Business US 65 in Carrollton, MO has been decommissioned

[Route66Fan]

I've just noticed that Business US 65, in Carrollton, MO, been decommissioned.

The former route followed E. Benton St. from the US 65 & 24 overpass West to Carrollton, MO's Uptown Square, S. Main St. from the Uptown Square South to MO 10 & MO 10 East to the US 65 & 24 overpass.

The E. Benton St. section is now an eastern extension of Route E, S. Main St. is just S. Main St & MO 10 is MO 10.

Google Earth streetview from August 2024 still shows signs for Business US 65 in Carrollton, MO.

Does anybody know when & why this change happened?

Here's the official answer:

Reason for Request: The proposed section of U.S. BUS 65 is to be conveyed to the city of Carrollton. The intent of this change is to relinquish and eliminate U.S. BUS 65 numbering and remove U.S. BUS 65 from state system in Carroll County.

Will be strange to not see the Bus US 65 signage south and east of downtown any more.
