It is at the south-western end of the Virginia Peninsula, on the north shore of the James River Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West When the Joint Board on Interstate Highways published its preliminary plan for a system of interstate routes in 1925, the Midland Trail was split among many numbers, including 52, 62, 150, 50, and 40. The system of United States Numbered Highways (often called U US Route 52 is a United States highway that runs across the northern eastern and southeastern regions of the United States. US Route 150 (abbreviated Route 150 or US 150) is a 571 mile (919 km long northwest-southeast United States highway, signed as east-west US Route 50 is a major east-west route of the US Highway system, stretching just over 3000 miles (4800 km from Ocean City Maryland on the Atlantic Ocean East of Louisville, where it would become US 60, it was assigned parts of 52 and 62. Route 52 began at Newport News and followed the Midland Trail to Richmond, but took a more southerly route to Lexington, Virginia. This article is about the city of Richmond the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Lexington is an Independent city within the confines of Rockbridge County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The trail was used again through West Virginia to Huntington, where Route 52 split to the northwest. West Virginia ( is a state in the Appalachian Upland South, and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, bordered by Huntington is a city located in the State of West Virginia along the Ohio River. Route 62 began at Ashland, Kentucky (near Huntington) and followed the Midland Trail across northeastern Kentucky to Louisville, where the trail crossed the Ohio River and became Route 150. Ashland is a city in Boyd County, Kentucky, United States, nestled along the banks of the Ohio River. The Commonwealth of Kentucky ( is a state located in the East Central United States of America. The Ohio River is the largest Tributary by volume of the Mississippi River. Route 62 continued southwest along the south bank of the Ohio River to Wickliffe in western Kentucky, and then crossed the Mississippi River at the Ohio's mouth. Wickliffe is a city in Ballard County, Kentucky, United States. The Mississippi River is the second longest River in the United States, with a length of from its source in Lake Itasca in Minnesota to The final portion of Route 62 crossed southern Missouri to Springfield on an existing main highway that had been numbered 16 by the state. Missouri ( or) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States bordered by Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee Springfield is a city in Christian and Greene Counties in the U ^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

Kentucky Governor William J. Fields objected to the Joint Board's plan, which took most major east-west routes (multiples of ten) to the East Coast, but sent Route 60 from Los Angeles northeast to end in Chicago, leaving none to cross Kentucky, the only Mississippi Valley state without such a route. William Jason Fields (December 29 1874 October 21 1954 was a U The East Coast of the United States, also known as the "Eastern Seaboard" or "Atlantic Seaboard" refers to the easternmost coastal states in the central and northern Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. The Mississippi River is the second longest River in the United States, with a length of from its source in Lake Itasca in Minnesota to Proposals were considered for splitting US 60 into 60N and 60E at Springfield or using 62 for the Chicago route; Missouri had already prepared maps that showed the original plans for 60 and 62. ^[10] The final plan, agreed to by the affected states, assigned US 66 to the Los Angeles-Chicago highway and US 60 to the route from Springfield to Virginia Beach (extended from Newport News), absorbing all of 62 and part of 52 from the 1925 plan. US Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Virginia Beach (pronounced /vɚˌdʒɪnjəˈbiːtʃ/ is an Independent city located in the South Hampton Roads area and one of the largest cities in ^[11]^[12]^[13]

Although US 60 initially stretched less than halfway across the country, due to its late creation, it was soon extended west to Los Angeles. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West One auto trail - the Atlantic and Pacific Highway - and three other U. The Atlantic and Pacific Highway was an Auto trail in the United States, essentially eliminated by the U S. Highways played a part in this extension. The Atlantic and Pacific Highway had been organized in 1921,^[14] and connected New York City with Los Angeles. The City of New York ^[7] The original alignment of U.S. Route 70 entered Clovis, New Mexico from the east, as it does now, but continued west to Holbrook, Arizona. US Route 70 is an east-west United States highway that runs for 2385 miles (3838 km from eastern North Carolina to east-central Arizona. Clovis is a City in and the County seat of Curry County, New Mexico, United States Holbrook ( Tʼiisyaakin) is a city in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. Crossing US 70 at Clovis was the El Paso-Amarillo U.S. Route 366. US Route 366 was a US route in the US states of Texas and New Mexico. ^[12] Finally, U. S. Route 164 was created by 1928, stretching northeast and east from Amarillo to U.S. Route 64 and U.S. Route 77 in Enid, Oklahoma. US Route 64 is an east-west United States highway that runs for 2326 miles (3743 km from eastern North Carolina to just southwest of the Four Corners US Route 77 is a north-south United States highway. It is unsigned in and around Dallas Texas. Enid is a city in Garfield County, Oklahoma, United States. The Population was 47045 at the 2000 census. ^[15] The American Association of State Highway Officials approved the first part of the extension in May 1930, following the rest of Missouri's Route 16 to the Oklahoma state line, and several state highways to Enid, before absorbing US 164 to a terminus at Amarillo. AASHTO, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, is a standards setting body which publishes specifications test protocols and ^[16] The remainder to Los Angeles was approved at AASHO's June 1931 meeting, and involved a number of other changes. US 60 replaced US 366 from Amarillo to Clovis, where it continued west along US 70 to Springerville, Arizona. Springerville is a town in Apache County, Arizona, United States within the White Mountains. The remainder of US 70 to Holbrook, Arizona became a new U.S. Route 260, while US 60 followed the Atlantic and Pacific Highway, which it had picked up at Vaughn, New Mexico, southwest and west through Phoenix to Los Angeles. Holbrook ( Tʼiisyaakin) is a city in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. US Route 180 is an east-west United States highway. Like many three-digit routes US 180 no longer meets its "parent" US 80. Vaughn is a town in Guadalupe County, New Mexico, United States. Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, US 70 was not truncated to Clovis, but was instead redirected southwest along US 366 to El Paso, and later reached Los Angeles itself, though most of the route west of Globe, Arizona overlapped US 60. Globe ( Western Apache: Bésh Baa Gowąh) is a city in Gila County, Arizona, United States. A concurrency, overlap, or coincidence in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different Highway, Motorway ^[17]

After the Interstate Highway System was signed into law in 1956, the Midland Trail portion of US 60, from Louisville east to the Hampton Roads area, was bypassed by Interstate 64. The Dwight D Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly called the Interstate Highway System (or simply the Interstate System) Hampton Roads is the name of both a body of water and the region of land areas which surround it in southeastern Virginia in the USA. Interstate 64 (abbreviated I-64) is an Interstate Highway in the eastern United States. From Phoenix west to Los Angeles, Interstate 10 paralleled and replaced US 60. Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Interstate 10 ( I-10) is the southernmost east-west coast-to-coast Interstate highway in the United States. I-10 and I-64 were mostly completed by the late 1970s,^[18] though part of Interstate 64 in West Virginia, built on a new alignment east from Beckley, did not bypass the old winding US 60 until 1988. Interstate 64 travels for 184 miles within the state of West Virginia, passing by the major towns and cities of Huntington, Charleston, Beckley Beckley is a city in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States, which was founded on April 4, 1838. ^[19] California decommissioned its portion of US 60 in 1964; most was replaced by I-10, while the independent piece in the Los Angeles area became State Route 60. State Route 60 is a State highway in the US state of California. ^[20] In the 1970s, the portion overlapping I-10 in western Arizona was removed. A concurrency, overlap, or coincidence in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different Highway, Motorway US 60 between Phoenix and Louisville remains a major regional corridor in most places, and is not paralleled by an Interstate for any significant length.

History

US 60 had its beginnings in the Midland Trail, an auto trail organized in 1912 by residents of Grand Junction, Colorado. For the section in West Virginia see Midland Trail (West Virginia. Old style Highway markings Lincoln Highway Dixie Highway The City of Grand Junction is a Home Rule Municipality that is the County seat and the most populous city of Mesa County, Colorado, ^[1] The next year, this route was considered but rejected for the Lincoln Highway,^[2] after which the Midland Trail Association laid out and marked its own transcontinental highway, eventually connecting Newport News, Virginia with Los Angeles, California. The Lincoln Highway was the first automobile road across America. Newport News is an Independent city in Virginia. It is at the south-western end of the Virginia Peninsula, on the north shore of the James River Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West When the Joint Board on Interstate Highways published its preliminary plan for a system of interstate routes in 1925, the Midland Trail was split among many numbers, including 52, 62, 150, 50, and 40. The system of United States Numbered Highways (often called U US Route 52 is a United States highway that runs across the northern eastern and southeastern regions of the United States. US Route 150 (abbreviated Route 150 or US 150) is a 571 mile (919 km long northwest-southeast United States highway, signed as east-west US Route 50 is a major east-west route of the US Highway system, stretching just over 3000 miles (4800 km from Ocean City Maryland on the Atlantic Ocean East of Louisville, where it would become US 60, it was assigned parts of 52 and 62. Route 52 began at Newport News and followed the Midland Trail to Richmond, but took a more southerly route to Lexington, Virginia. This article is about the city of Richmond the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Lexington is an Independent city within the confines of Rockbridge County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The trail was used again through West Virginia to Huntington, where Route 52 split to the northwest. West Virginia ( is a state in the Appalachian Upland South, and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, bordered by Huntington is a city located in the State of West Virginia along the Ohio River. Route 62 began at Ashland, Kentucky (near Huntington) and followed the Midland Trail across northeastern Kentucky to Louisville, where the trail crossed the Ohio River and became Route 150. Ashland is a city in Boyd County, Kentucky, United States, nestled along the banks of the Ohio River. The Commonwealth of Kentucky ( is a state located in the East Central United States of America. The Ohio River is the largest Tributary by volume of the Mississippi River. Route 62 continued southwest along the south bank of the Ohio River to Wickliffe in western Kentucky, and then crossed the Mississippi River at the Ohio's mouth. Wickliffe is a city in Ballard County, Kentucky, United States. The Mississippi River is the second longest River in the United States, with a length of from its source in Lake Itasca in Minnesota to The final portion of Route 62 crossed southern Missouri to Springfield on an existing main highway that had been numbered 16 by the state. Missouri ( or) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States bordered by Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee Springfield is a city in Christian and Greene Counties in the U ^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Kentucky Governor William J. Fields objected to the Joint Board's plan, which took most major east-west routes (multiples of ten) to the East Coast, but sent Route 60 from Los Angeles northeast to end in Chicago, leaving none to cross Kentucky, the only Mississippi Valley state without such a route. William Jason Fields (December 29 1874 October 21 1954 was a U The East Coast of the United States, also known as the "Eastern Seaboard" or "Atlantic Seaboard" refers to the easternmost coastal states in the central and northern Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. The Mississippi River is the second longest River in the United States, with a length of from its source in Lake Itasca in Minnesota to Proposals were considered for splitting US 60 into 60N and 60E at Springfield or using 62 for the Chicago route; Missouri had already prepared maps that showed the original plans for 60 and 62. ^[7] The final plan, agreed to by the affected states, assigned US 66 to the Los Angeles-Chicago highway and US 60 to the route from Springfield to Virginia Beach (extended from Newport News), absorbing all of 62 and part of 52 from the 1925 plan. US Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Virginia Beach (pronounced /vɚˌdʒɪnjəˈbiːtʃ/ is an Independent city located in the South Hampton Roads area and one of the largest cities in ^[8]^[9]^[10]

Although US 60 initially stretched less than halfway across the country, due to its late creation, it was soon extended west to Los Angeles. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West One auto trail - the Atlantic and Pacific Highway - and three other U. The Atlantic and Pacific Highway was an Auto trail in the United States, essentially eliminated by the U S. Highways played a part in this extension. The Atlantic and Pacific Highway had been organized in 1921,^[11] and connected New York City with Los Angeles. The City of New York ^[4] The original alignment of U.S. Route 70 entered Clovis, New Mexico from the east, as it does now, but continued west to Holbrook, Arizona. US Route 70 is an east-west United States highway that runs for 2385 miles (3838 km from eastern North Carolina to east-central Arizona. Clovis is a City in and the County seat of Curry County, New Mexico, United States Holbrook ( Tʼiisyaakin) is a city in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. Crossing US 70 at Clovis was the El Paso-Amarillo U.S. Route 366. US Route 366 was a US route in the US states of Texas and New Mexico. ^[9] Finally, U. S. Route 164 was created by 1928, stretching northeast and east from Amarillo to U.S. Route 64 and U.S. Route 77 in Enid, Oklahoma. US Route 64 is an east-west United States highway that runs for 2326 miles (3743 km from eastern North Carolina to just southwest of the Four Corners US Route 77 is a north-south United States highway. It is unsigned in and around Dallas Texas. Enid is a city in Garfield County, Oklahoma, United States. The Population was 47045 at the 2000 census. ^[12] The American Association of State Highway Officials approved the first part of the extension in May 1930, following the rest of Missouri's Route 16 to the Oklahoma state line, and several state highways to Enid, before absorbing US 164 to a terminus at Amarillo. AASHTO, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, is a standards setting body which publishes specifications test protocols and ^[13] The remainder to Los Angeles was approved at AASHO's June 1931 meeting, and involved a number of other changes. US 60 replaced US 366 from Amarillo to Clovis, where it continued west along US 70 to Springerville, Arizona. Springerville is a town in Apache County, Arizona, United States within the White Mountains. The remainder of US 70 to Holbrook, Arizona became a new U.S. Route 260, while US 60 followed the Atlantic and Pacific Highway, which it had picked up at Vaughn, New Mexico, southwest and west through Phoenix to Los Angeles. Holbrook ( Tʼiisyaakin) is a city in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. US Route 180 is an east-west United States highway. Like many three-digit routes US 180 no longer meets its "parent" US 80. Vaughn is a town in Guadalupe County, New Mexico, United States. Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, US 70 was not truncated to Clovis, but was instead redirected southwest along US 366 to El Paso, and later reached Los Angeles itself, though most of the route west of Globe, Arizona overlapped US 60. Globe ( Western Apache: Bésh Baa Gowąh) is a city in Gila County, Arizona, United States. A concurrency, overlap, or coincidence in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different Highway, Motorway ^[14]

After the Interstate Highway System was signed into law in 1956, the Midland Trail portion of US 60, from Louisville east to the Hampton Roads area, was bypassed by Interstate 64. The Dwight D Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly called the Interstate Highway System (or simply the Interstate System) Hampton Roads is the name of both a body of water and the region of land areas which surround it in southeastern Virginia in the USA. Interstate 64 (abbreviated I-64) is an Interstate Highway in the eastern United States. From Phoenix west to Los Angeles, Interstate 10 paralleled and replaced US 60. Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Interstate 10 ( I-10) is the southernmost east-west coast-to-coast Interstate highway in the United States. I-10 and I-64 were mostly completed by the late 1970s,^[15] though part of Interstate 64 in West Virginia, built on a new alignment east from Beckley, did not bypass the old winding US 60 until 1988. Interstate 64 travels for 184 miles within the state of West Virginia, passing by the major towns and cities of Huntington, Charleston, Beckley Beckley is a city in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States, which was founded on April 4, 1838. ^[16] California decommissioned its portion of US 60 in 1964; most was replaced by I-10, while the independent piece in the Los Angeles area became State Route 60. State Route 60 is a State highway in the US state of California. ^[17] In the 1970s, the portion overlapping I-10 in western Arizona was removed. A concurrency, overlap, or coincidence in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different Highway, Motorway US 60 between Phoenix and Louisville remains a major regional corridor in most places, and is not paralleled by an Interstate for any significant length.

Originally built as a "bypass route" around downtown Louisville, Kentucky, Alt US 60 used several existing roads running through Louisville to get between the east and south sides of town without having to travel through the heavily congested downtown or west ends of town. 'Alt 60' runs northeast to southwest from St. Matthews, Kentucky to Shively, Kentucky; including a stretch on one of Frederick Law Olmsted's last remaining parkways, Eastern Parkway. St Matthews is a city 8 miles east of Downtown Louisville in Jefferson County, Kentucky, United States. Shively is a city in Jefferson County, Kentucky, United States. Frederick Law Olmsted ( April 25, 1822 &ndash August 28, 1903) was an American landscape designer and father of American
