U.S. Route 17-1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

U.S. Route 17-1 was a designated highway in North Carolina and Virginia from 1926 to 1933, and may have been the only hyphenated route designation in the U.S. Highway system. According to some sources^[1], the route may or may not have been signed as "17-1" in the field, though it was included on several contemporary maps of the then-new highway system. It met its parent, U.S. Highway 17, in Wilmington, North Carolina.

The former route of US-17-1 now carries the following designations:

• North Carolina Highway 11
• North Carolina Highway 24
• U.S. Highway 117
• U.S. Route 301

Much of the North Carolina routing is also now paralleled by I-40.
