Established in July 1997, US 70 Bypass is part of a rare oddity known as the four US 70s of Selma-Smithfield: US 70, US 70A, US 70 Business, and US 70 Bypass. In an effort to make the area less confusing, NCDOT opted for the Bypass designation as opposed to another business loop. The purpose of the bypass was to avoid traffic tie-ups at I-95 and US 301; the bypass itself is freeway-grade with no interchanges, in which I-95 traffic has to use the mainline US 70 to access either direction from Selma. The bypass is expected to eventually become part of I-42. [23]

By 1952, US 70A was rerouted west from Bethesda onto and overlapping with US 70 to Holloway street, where it went into the downtown area along Roxboro, Pettigrew, Chapel Hill, Duke, Main, and 9th streets before connecting onto Hillsborough Road.

U.S. Route 70C (US 70C, the "C" for "City", i.e., a business loop) formerly ran between what is now Interstate 30 (I-30) exits 116 (Sevier & South Streets) and 118 (Congo Road) in Benton, Arkansas. Though it was largely the result of a rerouting of US 70 and US 67 from Little Rock around downtown Benton in 1955, most of which later became I-30, it was not created until 1959 after US 70 was further rerouted between Benton and Hot Springs. [34]
History
Since the place where US 67 and US 70 separated was moved by both reroutings—first in 1955 from downtown Benton to present-day I-30 exit 117 (AR 5/AR 35) just north of downtown where the new route crossed old US 70 (now AR 5 north of I-30 and AR 35 south of it), then in 1959 to present-day I-30 exit 111 (Arkansas Health Center) near Haskell—most of US 70C was actually the pre-1955 route of US 67, of which only present-day Military Road north of AR 35 was also the pre-1955 route of US 70. [36] The only exception was at the eastern end; since there was no interchange where the pre-1955 US 67/US 70 route crossed I-30 just outside Benton, US 70C used Congo Road from Military Road to present-day I-30 Exit 118.
When the rerouted US 67/US 70 was formally designated as I-30 in 1960, US 70C also became Benton's I-30 business loop. Both loops were decommissioned by 1975. [36] The entire route was taken over by the City of Benton, except for a short section of Military Road added to AR 88 to connect it with AR 35. [35]

The segment of present US 70 from where it leaves Interstate 30 at exit 132 (University Avenue) in Little Rock, Arkansas, to I-30 exit 141 (Broadway) in North Little Rock, was signed as US 70B from the mid-1970s to the mid-2000s. It was previously the route of U.S. 70 as well as US 67; it was also I-30 Bus. until that route was deleted earlier in the 1970s.
Before US 70B was created, US 70 ran concurrently with I-30 from exit 111 (Hot Springs) near Haskell to exit 132, as it does today. Its US 67 concurrency fell between two different U.S. 67 concurrencies with I-30; one (shared with U.S. 70) was from Exit 114 (then Arkansas State Hospital, now Arkansas Health Center) near Haskell to exit 132, while the other (shared with US 65/US 167) was from exit 141 to the end of I-30 at exit 143B (I-40), also in North Little Rock.
While US 70B was active, US 70 continued its concurrency with I-30 past exit 132 to exit 141, where it returned to its original route. U.S. 67 also moved to I-30 when US 70B was created, thus making its concurrency with I-30 continuous from exit 114 to the end of I-30. Both concurrencies were shared with US 65/US 167 beginning at Exit 138B (Pine Bluff-El Dorado, now the beginning of I-530). However, many Arkansas state highway maps continued to show US 70B as US 67/US 70, and sometimes even as I-30 Bus. (years after it was officially deleted).
Although I-30 signs at exit 132 still refer to University Avenue as US 70B and claim US 70 East continues on I-30 East, and I-30 signs at exit 141B refer only to US 70 East (US 70 West formerly joined I-30 West at that exit), all signs on the business loop were changed back to US 70 in the mid-2000s, thus officially truncating US 70's concurrency with I-30 at exit 132. US 67 did not return to this route; it remains concurrent with I-30 from exit 114 (and US 65/US 167 from exit 138B) to the end of I-30.

U.S. Route 70 Business (US 70 Bus.) was the designation of secondary roads that mostly follow along the former US 70 route through downtown Beaufort. The routing in question ran south along Turner Street (SR 1174) then east on Cedar Street (SR 1493) and transitions onto Live Oak Street as it goes northeasterly before reconnecting with US 70. [38] Signage of US 70 Bus. possibly appeared soon after the mainline US 70 rerouting on new bypass route north of Beaufort in January 2018, confirmed with Google Street View imagery from July 2018. [39] The routing does not exist on NCDOT mapping/records nor was it submitted to AASHTO for approval. [40] The road was decommissioned in October 2019 and was given to the city of Beaufort. [41]

U.S. Route 70 Bypass (US 70 By-pass) was an approximately 22.3-mile (35.9 km) controlled-access highway bypassing north of Goldsboro, connecting with US 70 west of Goldsboro and west of La Grange. It was approved by AASHTO on September 25, 2015, with its official establishment dependent on its completion; at the time, the current completed sections were temporarily signed as NC 44. [42] [43] On May 27, 2016, the last section, the eastern section from Wayne Memorial Drive to US 70 west of La Grange, was completed, and the road was officially renamed the US 70 Byp. The route was redesignated as part of Interstate 42 in September 2024.

U.S. Highway 70 Temporary was a designation for a route between Kirby and Lockesburg, Arkansas while a new alignment of US 70 was under construction. The designation was removed on July 18, 1956. The highway overlapped Highway 27 between Kirby and Nashville before turning onto Highway 24 (now US 371) between Nashville and the US 71 junction in Lockesburg. [44]
U.S. Route 117 (US 117) is a north–south United States Highway located completely within the state of North Carolina. A spur route of US 17, the highway runs for 114 miles (183 km) from the Port of Wilmington, south of downtown Wilmington, to US 301 near Wilson. From its southern terminus, US 117 runs along Shipyard Boulevard and College Road, concurrent with North Carolina Highway 132 (NC 132) through Wilmington. US 117 intersects the eastern terminus of Interstate 40 (I-40) and parallels the interstate until reaching Faison, passing through Burgaw, Wallace, and Warsaw. The highway diverges from I-40 in Faison, running north-northeast through Mount Olive, Goldsboro, and Pikeville to its northern terminus. US 117 meets the southern end of I-795 in Goldsboro, and parallels that route before reaching its northern terminus at US 301 south of Wilson.
U.S. Route 321 (US 321) is a spur of U.S. Route 21. It runs for 516.9 miles (831.9 km) from Hardeeville, South Carolina to Lenoir City, Tennessee; with both serving as southern termini. It reaches its northernmost point at Elizabethton, Tennessee, just northeast of Johnson City. Because of its unusual "north–south–north" routing, U.S. Route 321 intersects both Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 70 three separate times. The highway serves different roles in each state: An alternate route to interstates in South Carolina, a major highway in North Carolina, and a scenic route in Tennessee.
U.S. Route 158 (US 158) is an east–west United States highway that runs for 350 miles (560 km) from Mocksville to Whalebone Junction in Nags Head, entirely in the state of North Carolina.

US 264 is a freeway between Raleigh and Wilson, with segments running concurrently with I-87, I-587, I-795, and US 64. The highway is largely parallel to I-587 between Wilson and Greenville and primarily serves smaller communities such as Saratoga and Farmville. East of Greenville, US 264 is an important highway connecting communities such as Washington, Belhaven, Swan Quarter, and Engelhard. The eastern terminus of US 264 is located at US 64 in Manns Harbor.
