Designated: January 16, 1934 Decommissioned: July 1, 2003 Original western terminus: US 65, later US 69 Original eastern terminus: Weldon; it was truncated at the west city limits on October 27, 1980. Counties: Clarke, Decatur (the road straddled the county line) Paving history: Unpaved at designation, the road had a bituminous surface until at least 1986 or 1987. The 1988 map showed it as paved, but as a county road (probably because of a map error, as it still appeared on route logs), and the 1991 map showed as paved. However, all maps from 1994 through 2003 showed it as bituminous, and the DOT's current Decatur County map still shows it that way. In a May 15, 2005, e-mail, J.D. Adams described its surface as a "glorified seal coating... You can see where the difference is in the paving from County to State at Weldon... It's been well worn and it might look paved, but when a good rain comes the tracks come through very easy." Replaced by: City street (Main Street in Weldon in 1980); County Road J12 (at decommissioning) Terminus photos |
