U.S. Route 67 Business (San Angelo, Texas)

Numerous special routes of U.S. Route 67, all business routes, exist. One other route, formerly an alternate route in western Illinois, has since been downgraded to state Route 267.

Texas

All of the business routes within Texas are maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). U.S. Route 67 has seven current and two former business routes within the state, with two of these located in San Angelo. Along US 67, TxDOT identifies each business route as Business U.S. Highway 67 followed by an alphabetic suffix. Along Texas U.S. routes, the alphabetic suffixes on business route names ascend generally eastward and southward. As US 67 is labeled as a west-to-east route, its initial business loop in Presidio is suffixed with an A. There are gaps in the alphabetic values to allow for future system expansion or for decommissioned routes. The alphabetic naming suffixes are included as small letters on the bottom of route shields.

Former routes in Missouri

St. Louis bypass

U.S. Route 67 Bypass (US 67 Byp.) was a bypass route of US 67. From 1938 to 1958, US 67 Bypass used to travel from Mehlville to Old Jamestown via Lindbergh Boulevard. After 1958, it got truncated as US 67 was rerouted onto a different route in St. Louis. It was decommissioned in 1967. Since 1975, US 67 followed along Lindbergh Boulevard and still remains to this day.

Missouri–Illinois

St. Louis–Alton alternate route

U.S. Route 67 Alternate (US 67 Alt.) was an alternate route of US 67. US 67 Alt was formed in 1939 after US 67 moved away from East St. Louis. It initially followed from the western approach of the Municipal Bridge (now the MacArthur Bridge) to Alton. By 1953, the alternate route was extended as US 67 moved onto the inner bypass (previously Route 99). In 1958, US 67 moved onto parts of present-day Route 21 and Route 30. As a result, the alternate route expanded south to Lindbergh Boulevard. It eventually got decommissioned in 1964. As a result of this, Route 267 and IL 203 formed.

Illinois

Jacksonville business loop

Roseville business loop

Godfrey–Murrayville alternate route

In 1953, US 67 was rerouted to travel straight to Jacksonville through Medora. The former alignment of US 67 (which ran through Jerseyville) was then signed as US 67 Alt. In 1965, the alternate route was decommissioned and was changed to Illinois Route 267. In 2001, both designations (US 67 and IL 267) were swapped as a result of the construction of Jacksonville's western bypass. US 67 was rerouted again in 2005 after the bypass was finished.
