California State Route 37

State Route 37 (SR 37) is a state highway in the northern part of California that runs 21 miles (34 km) along the northern shore of San Pablo Bay. It is built from U.S. Route 101 in Novato and runs through the southern tips of Sonoma and Napa counties to Interstate 80 in Vallejo. It serves as a vital connection between the four counties of the North Bay Area, north of San Francisco; Sonoma Raceway and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom are accessible from Route 37.

Route 37 has been proposed to be built to freeway standards since the early 1950s. However, the proposal was met with many economic and environmental obstacles, making the task all but impossible for much of the route. Problems included a levee break in Vallejo which turned part of the land around the highway into a marsh that is home to endangered salt marsh harvest mice, and a section of highway known as "Blood Alley" for its high rate of fatal accidents.

Route description

Intended to run from State Route 251, a highway that has not been constructed, SR 37 begins in Novato with a junction at U.S. Route 101 and heads northeast as a freeway for about a quarter mile before becoming a four-lane expressway. The route passes over the Petaluma River into Sonoma County before meeting the southern terminus of State Route 121 at a signal-controlled intersection near Sears Point and the Sonoma Raceway.

Virginia State Route 3

State Route 3 is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia that extends from the town of Culpeper south and eastwardly to Gloucester in Virginia's Middle Peninsula region. For many years, a portion was named "Historyland Highway".

Route description

Gloucester County

Route 3 begins as the John Clayton Memorial Highway in Gloucester, sharing the highway with State Route 14.

Mathews County

After entering Mathews County, Virginia, Route 3 takes a left onto Windsor Road and then a Right on Dutton Road. After that, it takes a left and crosses the Piankatank River.

New York State Route 37

New York State Route 37 (NY 37) is a state highway in the North Country of New York in the United States, extending for 127.40 miles (205.03 km) on a west–east axis. The western terminus of the route is at an intersection with U.S. Route 11 (US 11) in Pamelia, Jefferson County. Its eastern terminus is at a junction with US 11, NY 11B, and NY 30 in Malone, Franklin County. In between the termini, NY 37 passes through Ogdensburg and Massena. It is a two-lane, nondivided, full access roadway for most of its entire length, except for portions between Massena and western Franklin County, where the route widens to a four-lane divided highway.

NY 37 was assigned in 1930 to the portion of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway between Redwood and Malone as well as to a previously unnumbered roadway between Watertown and Redwood. The Redwood–Malone portion was originally part of NY 3 when the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924. NY 37 has since been rerouted in areas, primarily near Ogdensburg and Massena.

Arkansas Highway 37

Arkansas Highway 37 is a designation for two state highways in Arkansas. The main segment of 52.40 miles (84.33 km) runs from McCrory to Cord. A short segment of 0.61 miles (0.98 km) runs north in Benton County from U.S. Route 62 to the Missouri state line.

Route description

McCrory to Cord

AR 37 begins north of McCrory at AR 17 and runs north to AR 145 near Beedeville and AR 14 in Amagon. The route passes near the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge. The route continues north to AR 18 in Grubbs and US 67 in Tuckerman. AR 37 also passes the historic Tuckerman Water Tower in Tuckerman. Arkansas Highway 37 continues northwest to Cord, where the route meets AR 122 and terminates.

Gateway to Missouri

The only town on the route, Gateway, is also the southern terminus (at US 62). The northern terminus is at the Missouri state line where the road continues as Route 37.

History

Arkansas Highway 37 was first formed in the original 1926 state highway plan as a route from AR 17 near McCrory north to AR 18 near Grubbs. By 1940, the route had been extended north to Tuckerman, existing as a gravel road, and in some portions, an unimproved dirt road. By 1945, the routing was extended to Cord. The highway's routing has remained essentially unchanged since this extension, though the route is now paved.

Missouri Route 37

Route 37 is a highway in southwest Missouri. Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 160 in Golden City (it shares this terminus with Route 126); its southern terminus is at the Arkansas state line where it continues as Highway 37, though it only runs very briefly before ending at U.S. Route 62 in Gateway, Arkansas.

Route description

Route 37 begins at US 160 in Golden City as a short concurrency with Route 126. After a few blocks, Route 37 turns south. At Avilla, the highway intersects Route 96 and joins this highway (going west) for one mile (1.6 km) before turning south again. Near Sarcoxie is an intersection with Interstate 44. It will be united with Business I-44 to the east side of Sarcoxie, the two of them following an old alignment of U.S. Route 166. The highway turns southeast towards Pierce City where there is a brief wrong-way concurrency with Route 97.

At Monett, Route 37 intersects U.S. Route 60 and becomes part of the Trail of Tears Automobile Route all the way to the state line. At Cassville, Route 37 produces one of two official business routes and on the south side of the town it intersects Route 76/Route 86 and the northern terminus of Route 112. At Washburn is the eastern terminus of Route 90 and at Seligman is the southern terminus of Route 112. Three miles south of Seligman, Route 37 crosses the Arkansas state line where it becomes Arkansas Highway 37. About one half of a mile south of the state line, Arkansas 37 ends at U.S. Route 62.

Massachusetts Route 37

Route 37 is a short south–north highway in eastern Massachusetts.

Route description

Route 37 begins in the north end of the city of Brockton at Route 28. After crossing the Middleboro-Lakeville Line and passing the Montello Station, it enters the town of Holbrook. It winds through the center of that town, where it intersects Route 139. It then enters Braintree, passing through the Highlands and crossing the rail line again, before bearing left off of Hancock Street onto Washington Street. As Franklin Street, it passes Sunset Lake, west of the town center, before going through the Five Corners neighborhood. It then passes the Quincy Reservoir and South Shore Plaza before ending at I-93/US 1's Exit 6, just west of the Braintree Split.

Route 37 was truncated to its current northern terminus by 1968, formerly extending along Willard Street through Quincy and Granite Avenue through East Milton before ending at Gallivan Boulevard (now Route 203) in the Neponset neighborhood of Boston. The road also had two separate connections with Route 128. Prior to the building of the highway portions of the road, Route 128 was concurrent with Route 37 from the intersection of Hancock Street and Washington Street to the intersection of Franklin Street and West Street (the "Five Corners"). Once the highway portion (now I-93) was built, Route 128 followed that highway to the Braintree Split, intersecting Route 37 at its now northern terminus. Since 1997, however, 128 has officially ended at the I-95/I-93 split in Canton.
