West Virginia Route 62

West Virginia Route 62 is a north–south state highway in western West Virginia. The southern terminus of the route is at West Virginia Route 25 in Dunbar. The northern terminus is at Interstate 77 and U.S. Route 33 in Ripley.

History

In the 1920s, WV 62 was designated West Virginia Route 19.

Up until the late 1960s, WV 62 was designated as U.S. Route 35 from Dunbar to Point Pleasant, crossing the Silver Bridge into Gallipolis, Ohio. After the Silver Bridge collapsed in 1967 (necessitating the building of a new bridge, the Silver Memorial Bridge—finished in 1969), US 35 was moved to the south bank (replacing the former WV 17) of the Kanawha River and US 35's previous route was designated as WV 62.

In December 2003, WV 62 was extended northward (but geographically southeastward) along then-US 33 from its former northern terminus at US 33 in Mason to Ripley.

Illinois Route 62

Illinois Route 62 is an east–west state road in northeast Illinois. It runs from western Algonquin at Illinois Route 31 (Western Algonquin Bypass) to the intersection with Illinois Route 83 (Elmhurst Road) by industrial Mount Prospect. This is a distance of 20.82 miles (33.51 km).

Route description

Illinois 62 is called Algonquin Road for its entire length, and is a northern parallel to Interstate 90. It is one of the few state roads in Illinois to be shorter than the name of the road that it marks, as Algonquin Road continues westward as McHenry CR A48 to Illinois Route 47 (about 8 miles (13 km)), eastward as a local road to Oakton Street and Riverside Drive by Interstate 294 (about 5 miles (8.0 km)), and northward as a local road to U.S. Highway 14 (about 5 miles (8.0 km)) in Fox River Grove. The eastward extent of Algonquin Road is mainly residential, however.

History

SBI Route 62 was Algonquin to Chicago along the current Illinois 62. It followed Oakton Street and Talcott Road (in Park Ridge) to reach Illinois Route 43. In 1974, Illinois 62 was dropped east of Illinois 83. In 2014, Illinois 62 moved west from Main Street to Western Algonquin Bypass.
