EspañolU.S. ROUTE 160
(Redirected from U.S. Highway 160)
'U.S. Route 160' is a 1,465 mile (2,358 km) long east-west United States highway in the Midwestern United States. The western terminus of the route is at U.S. Route 89 five miles west of Tuba City, Arizona. The eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 67 and Route 158 southwest of Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
Its route, if not its number, was made famous in song in 1975, as the road from Wolf Creek Pass to Pagosa Springs, Colorado in C.W. McCall's country music song ''Wolf Creek Pass''.
US 160 begins at US 89 ten miles (16 km) north of the turnoff to the Grand Canyon. In northeastern Arizona, US 160 is one of the major routes crossing the Navajo Nation.
Less than one mile (1.6 km) of US 160 is located within New Mexico. Roughly 0.3 miles from the Arizona state line, US 160 intersects State Road 597, the lone access road to the Four Corners Monument.
In Willard, Missouri, US 160 runs on a bypass along the western and southern edge of town. The old alignment through Willard is now U.S. Route 160 Business.
The eastern terminus of US 160 was originally located at an intersection with U.S. Route 60 and then-U.S. Route 66 in Springfield, Missouri. In the 1950s, the terminus moved eastward across the state to an intersection with then-US 60 and then-U.S. Route 67 (now U.S. Route 60 Business and U.S. Route 67 Business) in Poplar Bluff. The extension between Springfield and Poplar Bluff was parallel to U.S. Route 65 from Springfield to near Branson, where US 160 then headed east across the Ozark Mountains. In 2007, the terminus was moved to its current location southwest of Poplar Bluff, eliminating an concurrency between US 160 and two other highways (US 67 and US 67 Business) over the last 10 miles (16 km) of US 160.
When U.S. Route 160 was commissioned in Missouri in 1930, it took over the route of Missouri 36. At Willard, though, US 160 went east to Springfield while Missouri 36 went south to U.S. Route 66.)
