'''U.S. Route 75''' is a north&ndash;south [[United States Numbered Highways|U.S. Highway]] that runs {{convert|1239|mi}} in the [[central United States]]. The highway's northern terminus is located at the Canadian border near [[Noyes, Minnesota]], at a [[Noyes–Emerson East Border Crossing|now-closed border crossing]]. From this point, the highway once continued farther north as [[Manitoba Highway 75]].  Its southern terminus is located at [[Interstate 345]] (I-345) and [[Texas State Highway Spur 366]] (Spur 366) in [[Dallas]], Texas, where US 75 is known as [[North Central Expressway]].<ref name="termini">{{cite web |url =  http://usends.com/70-79/075/075.html |title = Endpoints of US highways |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110703203125/http://usends.com/70-79/075/075.html |archive-date = July 3, 2011 }}{{sps|certain=yes|date=June 2020}}</ref>

US&nbsp;75 was previously a cross-country route, from [[Canada]] to the [[Gulf of Mexico]] at [[Galveston, Texas]], but the entire segment south of Dallas has been decommissioned in favor of I-45; a cutoff section of town-to-town surface road having become [[Texas State Highway 75]].

==Route description==

===Texas===
{{main|U.S. Route 75 in Texas}}
The first [[freeway]] in [[Texas]] was a several-mile stretch of US&nbsp;75 (now [[I-45]])—The [[Gulf Freeway]]—opened to Houston traffic on October 1, 1948. The stretch of US&nbsp;75 between [[Interstate 30|I-30]] and the [[Oklahoma]] state line has exits numbered consecutively from 1 to 75 (with occasional A and B designations), excluding 9-19. All other Texas freeways that have exit numbers are coordinated with mile markers.

US&nbsp;75 and [[Interstate 635 (Texas)|Interstate 635]] cross at the [[High Five Interchange]], a five level exchange in Dallas, Texas.

North of [[Denison, Texas|Denison]], US&nbsp;75 [[concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with [[U.S. Route 69|US&nbsp;69]].

===Oklahoma===
{{main|U.S. Route 75 in Oklahoma}}
US&nbsp;75 remains concurrent to US&nbsp;69 from the Texas border north to [[Atoka, Oklahoma|Atoka]]. While US&nbsp;69 continues to the northeast as a multilane highway, US&nbsp;75 turns north to serve several small communities between Atoka and [[Henryetta, Oklahoma|Henryetta]]. Through travellers bypass this segment of US&nbsp;75 via US&nbsp;69 and the [[Indian Nation Turnpike]], where the speed limit is {{convert|75|mi/h|km/h|0}}.

From Henryetta through [[Tulsa, Oklahoma|Tulsa]] and on through [[Bartlesville, Oklahoma|Bartlesville]] to the Kansas State Line, US&nbsp;75 is once again a multilane highway.

In the early 1990s, some portions of US&nbsp;75 in Oklahoma were slated to become part of the [[Interstate Highway System]]. The 1991 [[Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act]] (ISTEA) states that "upon the request of the Oklahoma State highway agency, the Secretary shall designate the portion of United States Route 69 from the Oklahoma–Texas State line to [[Checotah, Oklahoma|Checotah]] in the State of Oklahoma as a part of the Interstate System."<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-045.html |title = Interstate 45 |work = Interstate Guide |access-date = October 9, 2014 |archive-date = August 1, 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170801043936/http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-045.html |url-status = dead }}{{sps|certain=yes|date=June 2020}}</ref> This would have created an Interstate route from [[Interstate 40|I-40]] south to the Texas line, including the portion of US&nbsp;75 co-signed with US&nbsp;69 south of Atoka. The legislation was unclear whether the route would enter Texas to connect with or become an extension of [[Interstate 45|I-45]]. A current plan is to construct a new segment of the Oklahoma Turnpike along the US&nbsp;69 corridor to bring it to corridor standards.

===Kansas===
{{main|U.S. Route 75 in Kansas}}
A major north–south artery in [[Kansas]], US&nbsp;75 enters the state at [[Caney, Kansas|Caney]]. It passes through [[Independence, Kansas|Independence]] and crosses [[Interstate 35|I-35]] south of [[Olivet, Kansas|Olivet]] at the [[BETO Junction]]. From I-35 to Melvern Lake, US&nbsp;75 is a [[Super two (road)|Super-2]] highway, with controlled access interchanges at Township Road, [[K-278 (Kansas highway)|K-278]], and [[K-31 (Kansas highway)|K-31]] southbound. From Melvern Lake to just north of Lyndon, US&nbsp;75 and K-31 share a long concurrency. At [[U.S. Route 56|US&nbsp;56]] near [[Scranton, Kansas|Scranton]] US&nbsp;75 becomes a freeway. There is no direct access to the [[Kansas Turnpike]] from US&nbsp;75, but the highway joins with [[Interstate 470 (Kansas)|I-470]] less than {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} from I-470's interchange with the turnpike. US&nbsp;75 and I-470 run together along the west side of [[Topeka, Kansas|Topeka]] to [[Interstate 70|I-70]]. US&nbsp;75 turns east along I-70 for about {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} before exiting northbound as a freeway. This freeway segment runs to [[Elmont, Kansas|Elmont]], then becomes an expressway to [[Holton, Kansas|Holton]]. The remainder of US&nbsp;75 in Kansas is two lanes. The highway exits the state north of [[Sabetha, Kansas|Sabetha]].

There was a US&nbsp;75 Alternate in Topeka. It was on Topeka Boulevard and was the route US&nbsp;75 originally took through the city.{{Citation needed|date=August 2007}}

===Nebraska===
{{main|U.S. Route 75 in Nebraska}}
[[File:I-480-US&nbsp;75 sign.jpg|thumb|U.S. Route 75/[[Interstate 480 (Iowa–Nebraska)|I-480]] sign in [[Omaha]]]]
US&nbsp;75 enters [[Nebraska]] south of [[Dawson, Nebraska|Dawson]]. From [[Nebraska City, Nebraska|Nebraska City]] northward, it closely parallels the [[Missouri River]]. A brief section that serves as a bypass for Nebraska City is an expressway called the [[J. Sterling Morton]] Beltway. Nebraska City itself is served with Business Route US&nbsp;75. US&nbsp;75 and [[U.S. Route 34|US&nbsp;34]] overlap from [[Union, Nebraska|Union]] to [[Plattsmouth, Nebraska|Plattsmouth]]. North of Plattsmouth, US&nbsp;75 becomes the Kennedy Freeway, serving as an arterial highway through [[Bellevue, Nebraska|Bellevue]] and the [[South Omaha, Nebraska|South Omaha]] neighborhood of [[Omaha, Nebraska|Omaha]]. It follows [[Interstate 480 (Nebraska)|I-480]] briefly through central Omaha before branching off as the [[Interstate 580 (Nebraska)|North Omaha Freeway]]. From [[Interstate 680 (Nebraska)|I-680]] northward to [[Nashville, Nebraska|Nashville]] ({{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in|disp=sqbr}} south of [[Fort Calhoun, Nebraska|Fort Calhoun]]) US&nbsp;75 is an expressway. South of Nashville it becomes a two-lane road again. It is briefly concurrent with [[U.S. Route 30|US&nbsp;30]] in [[Blair, Nebraska|Blair]]. It joins with [[U.S. Route 77|US&nbsp;77]] at [[Winnebago, Nebraska|Winnebago]]. The two highways run together until their junction with [[Interstate 129|I-129]] and [[U.S. Route 20|US&nbsp;20]] at [[South Sioux City, Nebraska|South Sioux City]]. US&nbsp;75 follows I-129 and US&nbsp;20 towards the Missouri River and Iowa.

===Iowa===
{{main|U.S. Route 75 in Iowa}}
US&nbsp;75 is a major north&ndash;south artery in the northwestern corner of [[Iowa]]. It enters the state by a Missouri River crossing at [[Sioux City, Iowa|Sioux City]] concurrent with [[Interstate 129|I-129]] and [[U.S. Route 20|US&nbsp;20]]. US&nbsp;75 and US&nbsp;20 run together on a freeway bypass around the southeast side of Sioux City before US&nbsp;20 turns east at Gordon Drive. US&nbsp;75 continues as a freeway to the [[Woodbury County, Iowa|Woodbury]]–[[Plymouth County, Iowa|Plymouth]] county line, where it becomes an expressway. This expressway becomes a freeway bypass of [[Le Mars, Iowa|Le Mars]]. North of Le Mars, US&nbsp;75 exits off the freeway bypass, which continues on as [[Iowa Highway 60]], and turns north. US&nbsp;75 continues as a two-lane, undivided highway passing through [[Sioux Center, Iowa|Sioux Center]] and [[Rock Rapids, Iowa|Rock Rapids]] before leaving the state north of [[Iowa Highway 9]].

The segment from the Missouri River to LeMars is part of a larger expressway project that will eventually provide a direct connection between Sioux City and the [[Minneapolis-Saint Paul|Twin Cities]] region in [[Minnesota]].{{Citation needed|date=August 2007}}

===Minnesota===
{{Attached KML|from=U.S. Route 75 in Minnesota}}
In [[Minnesota]], US&nbsp;75 stays very close to the state's western border. It passes through few large towns. US&nbsp;75 enters Minnesota south of [[Luverne, Minnesota|Luverne]] near [[Ash Creek, Minnesota|Ash Creek]] and [[Steen, Minnesota|Steen]], and passes through [[Pipestone, Minnesota|Pipestone]], [[Canby, Minnesota|Canby]], and [[Breckenridge, Minnesota|Breckenridge]]. It is the main north–south route through [[Moorhead, Minnesota|Moorhead]]. North of Moorhead, the route turns northeast to pass through [[Crookston, Minnesota|Crookston]] (east of [[Grand Forks, North Dakota]]), then turns northwest towards the [[Red River of the North]]. US&nbsp;75 does not cross the Red River, ending instead at the Canadian border at the unincorporated community of [[Noyes, Minnesota|Noyes]]. It is not legally possible to cross the border at Noyes as the [[Noyes–Emerson East Border Crossing]] closed in July 2006 (however, since there is no security, it is possible to illegally bypass the old crossing into [[Emerson, Manitoba|Emerson]]).<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/trade/legal/bulletins_decisions/bulletins_archives/bulletins_2006/vol40_06212006_no26/40genno26.ctt/40genno26.pdf |title = Bureau of Customs and Border Protection |access-date = January 29, 2013 }}{{full citation needed|date=June 2020}}</ref> Border traffic is instead directed to the [[Pembina–Emerson Border Crossing|nearby crossing]] in [[Pembina, North Dakota]], (via [[Minnesota State Highway 171|MN&nbsp;171]], [[North Dakota Highway 59|ND&nbsp;59]] and [[Interstate 29|I-29]]). [[Manitoba Highway 75]] previously continued on the other side of the Noyes border crossing, but has since been rerouted to the Pembina crossing.

All {{convert|408|mi|km|0}} of US&nbsp;75 in Minnesota is officially designated the ''Historic King of Trails'', sponsored by the towns along the route. The ''King of Trails'' was in fact the historic Auto Trail name for this road before the trunk highway system was commissioned in 1920.

Legally, the Minnesota section of US&nbsp;75 is defined as Routes 6 and 175 in Minnesota Statutes §§ 161.114(2) and 161.115(106).<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/161.114 |title = Minnesota Statute § 161.114(2) |access-date = September 19, 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/161.115 |title = Minnesota Statute § 161.115(106) |access-date = September 19, 2019 }}</ref>

==History==

===Texas===
In the initial assignment of state highways in 1917, [[Dallas-Fort Worth]] and Houston were connected by a branch of [[Texas State Highway 2 (1917)|SH&nbsp;2]] (SH&nbsp;2, the [[U.S. Route 81|Meridian Highway]]), which ran via [[Waco, Texas|Waco]] and [[Bryan, Texas|Bryan]] and continued on to [[Galveston, Texas|Galveston]]. The more direct route followed by US&nbsp;75 was not initially part of the system between [[Richland, Texas|Richland]] (connected to Dallas by [[Texas State Highway 14 (1917)|SH&nbsp;14]]) and [[Huntsville, Texas|Huntsville]] (connected to Houston by [[Texas State Highway 19 (1917)|SH&nbsp;19]]).<ref>{{cite news |work  = [[Commerce Journal]] |title = Highway Commission Adopts 25 Highways |date = July 6, 1917 }}{{full citation needed|date=June 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite map |author = State Highway Department of Texas |author-link = State Highway Department (Texas) |url = http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/aris/maps/maplookup.php3?mapnum=6254 |title = Map Showing Proposed System of State Highways as Adopted June 1917 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070310200319/http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/aris/maps/maplookup.php3?mapnum=6254 |archive-date=March 10, 2007 }}{{full citation needed|date=June 2020}}</ref> This Richland–Huntsville cutoff was added by 1919 as '''State Highway 32''',<ref>{{cite map |author  = Texas State Highway Department |author-link  = Texas State Highway Department |url =  http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/aris/maps/maplookup.php3?mapnum=6183 |title = Highway Map: State of Texas |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070310200355/http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/aris/maps/maplookup.php3?mapnum=6183 |archive-date = March 10, 2007  |date =  October 1, 1919 }}{{full citation needed|date=June 2020}}</ref> and US&nbsp;75 was assigned to the alignment, as well as [[Texas State Highway 6 (1917)|SH&nbsp;6]] north of Dallas, in 1926.<ref name="1926 map">{{cite map |author1= Bureau of Public Roads |author-link= Bureau of Public Roads |author2= American Association of State Highway Officials |author2-link= American Association of State Highway Officials |date= November 11, 1926 |title= United States System of Highways Adopted for Uniform Marking by the American Association of State Highway Officials |url= https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_System_of_Highways_Adopted_for_Uniform_Marking_by_the_American_Association_of_State_Highway_Officials.jpg |scale= 1:7,000,000 |location= Washington, DC |publisher= [[United States Geological Survey]] |oclc= 32889555 |access-date= November 7, 2013 |via= [[Wikimedia Commons]] |name-list-style= amp}}</ref> The branch of SH&nbsp;2, which US&nbsp;75 followed between Houston and Galveston, eventually became part of SH 6,{{cn|date=October 2024}} and these numbers were dropped in the [[1939 renumbering (Texas)|1939 renumbering]].

Prior to the coming of the [[Interstate Highway System]] in the late 1950s, the only improvements to US&nbsp;75 in Texas beyond building a two-lane paved roadway were in the Houston and Dallas areas.{{cn|date=October 2024}} The highways in and near these cities included some of the first [[freeway]]s in the state, however: the Gulf Freeway (Houston) and the [[Central Expressway (Dallas)|Central Expressway]] (Dallas). When [[Interstate 45]] was built in the 1960s, its alignment bypassed many of the towns and built-up areas between downtown Dallas and Houston. The bypassed routes retained the US&nbsp;75 designation until the designation was truncated to downtown Dallas in 1987. Many of the original alignments continue to exist under other designations.

In Dallas, the route followed what is now the [[Good Latimer Expressway]] (formerly [[Texas State Highway Spur 559|Spur 559]])<ref>{{TxDOT|SS|559}}</ref> southeast, out of downtown, along [[U.S. Route 175|US&nbsp;175]] and south along [[Texas State Highway 310|SH&nbsp;310]].<ref>{{TxDOT|SH|310}}</ref>

Near [[Ferris, Texas|Ferris]], [[Trumbull, Texas|Trumbull]], [[Palmer, Texas|Palmer]], [[Ennis, Texas|Ennis]], and [[Corsicana, Texas|Corsicana]] I-45 veers east to avoid the more populated areas. The old US&nbsp;75 alignments through these towns, decommissioned in 1987, now carry the following designations:

*[[Interstate 45 Business (Ferris, Texas)|Interstate 45 Business]] (originally [[Loop 560 (Texas)|Loop 560]]) through [[Ferris, Texas|Ferris]]<ref>{{TxDOT|SL|560}}</ref>
*[[Loop 561 (Texas)|Loop 561]] through [[Trumbull, Texas|Trumbull]]<ref>{{TxDOT|SL|561}}</ref>
*[[Interstate 45 Business (Palmer, Texas)|Interstate 45 Business]] through [[Palmer, Texas|Palmer]] (originally [[Loop 562 (Texas)|Loop 562]])<ref>{{TxDOT|SL|562}}</ref>
*[[Spur 469 (Texas)|Spur 469]], [[Interstate 45 Business (Ennis, Texas)|Interstate 45 Business]] (originally [[U.S. Highway 287 (Texas)|U.S. Highway 287]] and [[Spur 563 (Texas)|Spur 563]]) through [[Ennis, Texas|Ennis]]<ref>{{TxDOT|SS|563}}</ref>
*[[Interstate 45 Business (Corsicana, Texas)|Interstate 45 Business]] (originally [[Loop 564 (Texas)|Loop 564]]) through [[Corsicana, Texas|Corsicana]]<ref>{{TxDOT|SL|564}}</ref>

Through [[Streetman, Texas|Streetman]], [[Fairfield, Texas|Fairfield]], [[Buffalo, Texas|Buffalo]], [[Centerville, Texas|Centerville]], [[Madisonville, Texas|Madisonville]], [[Huntsville, Texas|Huntsville]], [[New Waverly, Texas|New Waverly]], [[Willis, Texas|Willis]], and [[Conroe, Texas|Conroe]], US&nbsp;75 followed what is now [[State Highway 75 (Texas)|SH&nbsp;75]].<ref>{{TxDOT|SH|75}}</ref>

In Galveston, the alignment of [[Texas State Highway 87|SH&nbsp;87]] from 20th Street to the southern terminus of I-45 was also part of US&nbsp;75 until its 1987 truncation.<ref>{{TxDOT|SH|87}}</ref>

In other cases alignments were bypassed while US&nbsp;75 remained in existence; they now carry the following designations:
*[[State Highway 3 (Texas)|SH&nbsp;3]] through [[La Marque, Texas|La Marque]], [[Dickinson, Texas|Dickinson]], [[League City, Texas|League City]], [[South Houston, Texas|South Houston]] and [[Houston]], bypassed 1952<ref>{{TxDOT|SH|3}}</ref>

**[[State Highway 91 (Texas)|SH&nbsp;91]] through downtown [[Denison, Texas|Denison]], bypassed 1957<ref>{{TxDOT|SH|75|A}}</ref>

===Oklahoma===
The main line of US&nbsp;75 between [[Okmulgee, Oklahoma|Okmulgee]] and [[Tulsa, Oklahoma|Tulsa]], known locally as the "Okmulgee Beeline", is a modern four-lane highway. The prior route continues to exist, beginning with North Oklahoma Avenue in Okmulgee and becoming Old Highway 75 to the town of [[Beggs, Oklahoma]]. The part of the original route from Beggs north to the city of [[Sapulpa, Oklahoma]] was re-designated, together with a connecting segment along SH&nbsp;16 between new US&nbsp;75 and Beggs, as [[U.S. Route 75 Alternate (Beggs–Sapulpa, Oklahoma)|Alternate US&nbsp;75]], also signed as US&nbsp;75A or SH&nbsp;75A. Historically, the old US&nbsp;75 met [[U.S. Route 66|US&nbsp;66]] (now [[Oklahoma State Highway 66|SH&nbsp;66]]) in Sapulpa, and the routes were co-signed into Tulsa.

===Nebraska===
Development of US&nbsp;75 in [[North Omaha, Nebraska|North Omaha]] was the source of much contention in when it was constructed. One state agency reports, "Construction of the [[Interstate 580 (Nebraska)|North Omaha Freeway]], coupled with social unrest in the 1970s, greatly impacted the North Omaha area. One neighborhood experienced a 30 percent housing loss and major increase in crime."<ref>{{cite web |year = 2001 |url = http://pio.neded.org/press/2001/01rel21.htm |title = State's top community development projects honored] |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070222202550/http://pio.neded.org/press/2001/01rel21.htm |archive-date = February 22, 2007  |publisher = Nebraska Department of Economic Development }}{{full citation needed|date=June 2020}}</ref> Further, the City of Omaha refused to complete upgrades to the freeway, eliminating the possibility of achieving the [[Interstate 580 (Nebraska)|I-580]] designation planned for it.{{Citation needed|date=August 2007}}

===Nebraska–Iowa===
From when the route was created in 1926 until 1984, US&nbsp;75 left Nebraska in Omaha, crossing over the Missouri River into [[Council Bluffs, Iowa]] over the [[Ak-Sar-Ben Bridge]] before 1966, and the [[Interstate 480 (Iowa-Nebraska)|I-480 Bridge]] from 1966 until 1984. US&nbsp;75 then followed an alignment that went through western Iowa between Council Bluffs and [[Sioux City, Iowa|Sioux City]]. After [[Interstate 29|I-29]] was built, US&nbsp;75 was eventually moved onto I-29. In 1984, US&nbsp;75 was rerouted into Nebraska to replace most of [[U.S. Route 73|US&nbsp;73]]. Previously, US&nbsp;73 was concurrent with US&nbsp;75 between [[Dawson, Nebraska]] and Omaha, and occupied the current segment of US&nbsp;75 between Omaha and Winnebago.
