History

Illinois

Before 1936, Illinois Route 39 ran from Bloomington to Champaign on the current routing of U.S. 150.[2][3] In 1936, US 150 extended due northwest from Shoals, Indiana, to the Quad Cities. As a result, IL 39 and IL 91 were decommissioned. Not only that, IL 16, IL 80, and IL 121 were truncated.[4] In 1954, a portion of US 150 in Peoria moved from the Franklin Street Bridge to the McClugage Bridge. As a result, US 150 City, later US 150 Bus., appeared in Peoria from 1954 to 1964.[5][6] In 1971, the decision to remove a portion of US 150 from US 67 in Rock Island to I-74 in Danville failed.[7] However, in 1976, the decision to truncate US 150 from US 67 in Rock Island to US 6 near the Quad City Airport was approved.[8][9]

Indiana

Initially, US 150 ran from Shoals, Indiana, to Louisville, Kentucky.[10] In 1936, US 150 extended due northwest from Shoals to the Quad Cities in Illinois. This caused IN 46 to cut back from the Illinois state line to Terre Haute.[4]

Kentucky

Template:Infobox road small U.S. Route 168 was created in 1926 from Louisville to Mount Vernon, Kentucky, overlapping US 68 between Bardstown and Perryville. In 1934, US 150 absorbed US 168.
