Route description

From 1937 until 1964, when most of its route through California was eliminated, US 6 was the longest highway in the country, but the truncation dropped its length below that of U.S. Route 20. US Route 20 is an east-west United States highway. As the "0" in its route number implies U When it was designated in 1926, it only ran east of Erie, Pennsylvania, and roughly fit into the overall grid (though the diagonal routing of U.S. Route 20 through Erie places it north of US 6). US Route 20 is an east-west United States highway. As the "0" in its route number implies U However, subsequent extensions, largely replacing the former U. S. Route 32 and U. S. Route 38 (which were in sequence), have taken it south of U.S. Route 30 near Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Route 40 near Denver, Colorado (past the end of US 38), U.S. Route 50 at Ely, Nevada, and even U.S. Route 70 near Los Angeles, California, due to its north-south alignment in that state. US Route 30 is an east-west main route of the system of United States Numbered Highways, with the highway traveling across the northern tier of the country Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States.

Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West ^[2]

Since it was pieced together from other routes, US 6 does not serve a major transcontinental corridor, as other highways like U.S. Route 40 do. George R. Stewart, author of U. George Rippey Stewart ( May 31, 1895 – August 22, 1980) was an American Toponymist, a novelist and a professor of English S. 40: Cross Section of the United States of America, initially considered US 6, but realized that "Route 6 runs uncertainly from nowhere to nowhere, scarcely to be followed from one end to the other, except by some devoted eccentric". In the famous "beat" novel On the Road by Jack Kerouac, protagonist Sal Paradise actually considers hitchhiking on US 6 to Nevada, but is told by a driver that "there's no traffic passes through 6" and that he'd be better off going via Pittsburgh (the Pennsylvania Turnpike).

History

New England

The first interstate numbering along the path of US 6 was Route 3 (NE-3) of the New England road marking system, designated in 1922. This route connected Provincetown with the Connecticut-New York border via Providence, Hartford, and Danbury. Provincetown is a town located at the extreme tip of Cape Cod in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. ^[4][5] In late 1925, the Joint Board on Interstate Highways approved the preliminary plan for U. The system of United States Numbered Highways (often called U S. Highways. US 6 was restricted to New England and southeastern New York, with its vague description matching the existing Route 3 to Danbury, Connecticut, and heading west from there to U.S. Route 7 at Brewster, New York. History See also History of New England New England's earliest inhabitants were Algonquian -speaking Native Americans including the New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous US Route 7 is a north-south United States highway in the New England region that runs for from Norwalk Connecticut to northern Vermont. Brewster is a Village located in the Town of Southeast in Putnam County New York, United States. ^[6] By the time the final plan was approved in late 1926, a second section had been added, from the New York-Pennsylvania border at Port Jervis, New York west to U.S. Route 120 in Kane, Pennsylvania. The New York - Pennsylvania Border has three sections along the center line of the Delaware River from the tri-point with New Jersey at the confluence Port Jervis is an American City in Orange County, New York. The population was 8860 at the 2000 census US Route 120 redirects here For the US 120 in the preliminary 1925 plan see U Kane is a Borough in McKean County, Pennsylvania, 94 miles (151 km east by south of Erie. ^[7] This did not last long, for the April 1927 route log shows the eastern segment running only to the border of New York, short of Brewster, while the western segment was extended in both directions - east to Kingston, New York, and west to Erie, Pennsylvania (the latter replacing part of US 120). Kingston is a City in Ulster County, New York, United States. The western segment was also swapped with U.S. Route 106 between Carbondale and Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, taking US 6 through Scranton. Pennsylvania Route 106 is a 21 mile long State highway located in Susquehanna and Lackawanna counties in Pennsylvania. Carbondale is a city in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, United States. Tunkhannock is a borough in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, 31 miles (50 km northwest of Wilkes-Barre. ^[8] The gap through New York was eliminated in 1928 with a new alignment across the state, crossing the Hudson River on the Bear Mountain Bridge; the old route between Kingston and Port Jervis became the first U.S. Route 6N. The Hudson River, called Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk, the Great Mohegan by the Iroquois, or as the Lenape Native Americans called it in Unami The Bear Mountain Bridge is a toll Suspension bridge in New York State, carrying U New York ' s section of US Route 209 follows a straight northeasterly course for almost its entire length from the Pennsylvania state ^[2]

While US 6 replaced the general corridor of Route 3 in New England, some portions used different alignments. One of these was on Cape Cod, where Route 3 had used a southerly alignment that is now Route 28. Cape Cod (or simply the Cape to most New Englanders is a Peninsula nearly coextensive with Barnstable County Massachusetts and forming the easternmost Route 28 is a nominally north-south route running from the New Hampshire state line through Boston and the western reaches of Norfolk and Plymouth counties and then west-to-east Instead, US 6 followed the more direct route between Buzzards Bay and Orleans that had been the southern extremity of Route 6, and now known as Route 6A.

Route 6A is the name for parts of former US 6 on Cape Cod.

Route 31 is an east-west State highway in Connecticut running for 14 A different alignment was also chosen for US 6 between Plainville and Woodbury; Route 3 ran via Milldale and Waterbury, and became parts of Route 14 and Route 10 in the 1932 renumbering. Plainville is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. Woodbury is a town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. Milldale is a neighborhood in the incorporated town of Southington, Hartford County, Connecticut. Route 14 is one of several secondary routes from eastern Connecticut into Rhode Island.

Ridgefield is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. Part of this became U.S. Route 7, while the rest became Route 35 in 1932.

The short stub to Erie formed at the old west end became U.S. Route 6N, and US 32 remained in Illinois, running independently from Chicago to Princeton and overlapping US 6 to Davenport, Iowa.
