US 250 ALT #1:
Appeared about 1943 as a renumbering of US 250 from Moundsville northwest to the new WV 2 alignment, as US 250 was looped around to the south for some reason.
Around 1970, US 250 went back to using Jefferson Ave north to WV 2 in Moundsville, eliminating US 250 ALT.

US 250 ALT #2: Appeared in the mid-1940s as new primary routing in South Wheeling, running on Wetzel St from Jacob St northeast skirting the edge of downtown S. Wheeling then connecting back to US 250/WV 2 using WV 91
In 1974 or 1975, mainline US 250/WV 2 was placed on this routing which was upgraded to freeway.
A ittle bit of Wetzel St still exists from 41st to 33rd.
