Special routes of U.S. Route 24
Highway system

Several special routes of U.S. Route 24 (US 24) currently exist, while some are now decommissioned. These special routes include alternate, city, business, bypass, optional, and truck routes that branch from US 24.

Grand Junction bypass route

By-pass plate.svgU.S. Highway 24 Bypass markerU.S. Highway 24 Bypass
LocationGrand Junction–Fruitvale, Colorado
Length4.3 mi (6.9 km)
Existed1955–1975

U.S. Highway 24 Bypass (US 24 Byp.) was a bypass route of US 24 from Grand Junction to Fruitvale, Colorado. US 24 Byp. began at an interchange with US 6/US 24/US 50 (now Interstate 70 Business /US 6/US 50). US 24 also began at that interchange but traveled southeast toward downtown Grand Junction. In its entirety, the bypass route traveled east along North Avenue, a four-lane divided highway, for 4.3 miles (6.9 km). The bypass route ended at US 6/US 24 (now US 6/I-70 Bus.). Today, US 6 occupies the former bypass route.

US 24 Byp. was established in 1955 after US 6 and US 24 moved south onto a new four-lane road paralleling the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. This was constructed so that the two routes directly serve downtown Grand Junction. In 1975, US 24 was removed west of Minturn, which necessitated the decommissioning of US 24 Byp.

Washington business loop

Business plate.svgU.S. Route 24 Business markerU.S. Route 24 Business
LocationWashington, Illinois
Length9.9 mi (15.9 km)
Existed1996–present

U.S. Route 24 Business (US 24 Bus.) is a business route of US 24 in Washington, Illinois. Starting at a hybrid interchange with US 24, US 24 Bus. and Illinois Route 8 (IL 8) begin due southeast. IL 8 is assigned to travel west, while US 24 Bus. travels east, forming a 1.3-mile-long (2.1 km) wrong-way concurrency. On this concurrency, both routes travel on a four-lane divided highway, signed as McClugage Road. After the concurrency ended, US 24 Bus. then turns eastward along Washington Road, continuing on another four-lane highway. As the business route reaches downtown Washington, the road downgrades to a three-lane street (Peoria Street) with a center turn lane. In downtown, just past the 13-foot-3-inch-long (4.04 m) overpass, the business route comes across a traffic circle called Washington Square. The route continues as Walnut Street with three lanes. At the city limit, the route downgrades to a two-lane road. As the route nears Eureka, the route curves north toward Cruger, where the route meets US 24 and ends.

Before the business route was established, US 24 ran through Washington. By 1994, a bypass was under construction. It was eventually finished in 1995 and was then designated as US 24. The old alignment was later signed as US 24 Bus.

Market Street continues east as US 24 Bus. Entering Logansport, the road briefly curves south and then back east toward downtown. After crossing the Eel River and entering downtown, US 24 Bus. splits into a one-way pair. Eastbound traffic continues to use Market Street, while westbound travels along 24th Street, Broadway, and Eel River Avenue. After the pair, the business route continues east on two-way traffic. After leaving Logansport, the road becomes Logansport Road for the rest of the business route. Also, the road begins to parallel the north bank of the Wabash River.

US Highway 24A markerUS Highway 24A
LocationToledo, Ohio–Woodhaven, Michigan
Existed1945–1959

U.S. Route 24A or US Highway 24A (US 24A) was an alternate route of US 24. US 24A was established in 1945 to travel along the Maumee River and Lake Erie. The route originally traveled along Summit Street from US 23/US 24 (Jefferson Avenue) in downtown Toledo to US 24/M-151 north of Erie. As a result, State Route 577 (SR 577) was removed north of downtown Toledo. In 1950–1951, US 24A was extended southward by one block to Monroe Street due to the relocation of US 23/US 24 onto US 223 (Monroe Street). In 1953, in response to the relocation of US 24 along the remainder of SR 577, the alternate route was extended south along part of the former alignment. The extension ran along Western Avenue and Broadway Street before reaching its pre-1953 segment. In 1957, the first section of the Detroit–Toledo Expressway (from south of Erie to Woodhaven) opened to traffic, which moved the alternate route onto the expressway. In 1959, the alternate route was removed. This coincided with the opening of the Ohio section of the Detroit–Toledo Expressway and the signage of I-75 and I-280.
