NC 90 is one the more unique highways in the state.  Mostly because of an isolated journey over nearly eight miles of unpaved roads to its Western Terminus in Edgemont.  The Western Terminus of NC 90 was not completely clear to many roadgeeks for a number of years. Well thanks to a recent bridge replacement project the Western Terminus has been marked.  Bobby Schultz, who enjoys exploring the numerous mountain backroads of the area, was kind enough to send some photos of the recently signed terminus. As you can see the terminus is now also paved.  The pavement is a result of the completion of a new two lane bridge, which you can see in the photo below. The pavement ends about 50 yards beyond both ends of the bridge.  The pavement really feels out of place as it is surrounded by unpaved roads in all directions.  Also, a nitpick, but you'll notice the pointed edges of the NC diamond shield vs. the traditional rounded corners of the diamond.  The...

The Southern Terminus of Interstate 579 has finally been signed in Downtown Pittsburgh.  The end sign is located right before the Blvd. of the Allies - 'TO I-376' East exit.  Denny Pine was kind enough to send two photos along.

With Interstate 376 replacing PA 60 from US 22/30 outside of Pittsburgh to Interstate 80 in Sharon, there was some concern on what a short five and a half  mile section of former PA 60 from I-80 to Business US 62 would be.  A detached PA 60?

Not that either.  Instead the state came up with a never before used route designation, PA 760 .  Highway 760 has recently been signed and Joe Gerard was kind enough to send along some photos to myself and Jeff Kitsko. Prior to the designation change, PA 60 ended at Business US 62 in downtown Sharon.  Here is how it looked around 2001 in a photo from John and Barb Bee. Nearly a decade later, it looks like the US 62 shield is the same, but the PA 60 sign has been replaced with its new designation, PA 760. End and Begin for PA 760 and Interstate 376 are now found at the interchange with I-80. So it looks like I need to get to work on updating this page , pronto.  I haven't tou...
