Special routes of U.S. Route 70

U.S. Route 70 Alternate (US 70A) was established around 1953, replacing the old mainline US 70 through Pine Level.

Originally, it started in Smithfield along US 301 going north to Selma, then east through Pine Level to its eastern terminus near Princeton.

In the early 1970s, it was rerouted east from Selma to Wilson's Mills along formerly secondary roads.

In 1993, it was truncated at its current western terminus when US 70 was rerouted along the Wilson Mills-Selma route.

The route was created by the Arkansas State Highway Commission (ASHC) on August 2, 1962, following construction of a US 70 bypass around town to the south.

The highway becomes a freeway near the Gulpha Gorge Campground at Hot Springs National Park.

U.S. Route 70 Alternate (US 70A) was established in 1948 after US 70 was rerouted south bypassing Hickory.

In 1957, US 70A was extended east, replacing US 70 through High Point (Westchester Drive, Lexington Road and Greensboro Road), Jamestown (High Point Road), Greensboro (Lee, Spring Garden, Aycock, Fairground and Market Streets), Burlington, Mebane and Efland; which was US 70A's apex, at nearly 66 miles (106 km) long.

Around 1963, US 70A eastern terminus was truncated at O. Henry Boulevard; everything east from that point was reverted to US 70.

In 1969, US 70A was rerouted to use Lee Street to Murrow Boulevard, then north to Summit Avenue.

Around 1991, the entire route was decommissioned, most of it becoming secondary, except for English Road continuing as NC 68.

[25][32] U.S. Route 70 Alternate (US 70A) was established in 1934 as a renumbering of NC 10A, which traveled from Chapel Hill Street, in downtown Durham, southeast on Main Street and Angier Avenue, to Miami Boulevard, in Bethesda.

Starting at Roxboro Road, it traveled through downtown Durham via Main, Alston, and Angier Avenue; at Bethesda, it goes south along Miami Boulevard and Chapel Hill Road into Cary, then going east along Western Boulevard into Raleigh, where it connects with Boylan Avenue, South, Fayetteville, Lenoir and finally East Street, where it reconnects with US 70.

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.

US 70A then continued on Bennett Memorial Drive before reconnecting again with US 70; Angier Street was downgraded to a secondary road (SR 1926).
