The Roads: |
The two current US 1-A routes (4th and 5th ones created) were both born in 1953 as renumberings of mainline US 1 in Wake Forest/Youngsville (9 miles) and Franklinton (2 miles) which in both cases was moved to western new routings.
BOth of these US 1-A routes were once part of original NC 50. It is a mystery why these weren't both converted to US 1 Business routes in 1960, especially the short Franklinton one. The Franklinton US 1-A stopped showing up on NC Officials in 2001 or 2002 but it is still there.
There have been several other US 1-A's:
The second US 1-A appeared in 1946, running from Wake Forest Rd along Louisburg Rd (with NC 59), then cutting north as new routing to meet back up with Wake Forest Rd.
The 7th US 1-A appeared in 1956 or 1957 when Sanford was bypassed to the west. Carthage Rd through town became US 1-A. In 1960 this was renumbered as US 1 Business which it remains today except below NC 42 is now secondary. US 1-A was cosigned with US 15A-501A.
