History


Florida

US 19 first entered Florida in 1929. It underwent two route shifts, the first in 1933 and the second in 1946, which adjusted it to its current alignment. US 19 was extended to its southern terminus of Memphis in September 1954, when the original Sunshine Skyway Bridge opened to traffic. Starting around 1956 US19 was 4-laned, initially in the Perry area, working north toward the Georgia border. The entire route in Florida was 4-laned by 1972. The planned St. Petersburg–Clearwater Expressway, or Pinellas Beltway, would have followed the current alignment of "Alt 19" from

North Carolina

In North Carolina, US 19 was NC 10 from the Georgia state line to Asheville, NC 29 from Asheville to Madison County, NC 69 to a point near the Tennessee state line, and either NC 194 or NC 694 for a short distance south of the Tennessee state line. The original US 19 in Yancey, Mitchell, and Avery Counties mostly followed the route now designated US 19E. US 19W in Yancey County was US 19-23 in 1935, and what is now US 19E was US 19A. The US 19E and US 19W designations have been used since 1930. Prior to 1948, US 19 between Ela and Waynesville essentially followed the route of present-day US 74. Then, this road was called US 19 Alternate (US 19-A) and the section of NC 28 From Ela to Cherokee and the section of NC 293 from Cherokee to near Waynesville became US 19. Improvements were made, including a new section of highway west of Lake Junaluska. Around 1956, US 19-23 was widened to four lanes from Lake Junaluska to

Tennessee

US 19 Originality went from NC to US 511. In 1928, US 19 was extended with US 511 to Bristol and into Virginia. In 1930, US 19 south was truncated to Bluff City (current TN 44/390 jct), as US 19E was assigned to US 19 south to North Carolina. This is still US 19E except: Old Hwy 19E/Buck Creek Rd east of Shell Creek; Carter St, Main St, Conway St and Cloud Land Dr in Roan Mountain; Crabtree Rd and Old Rock Quarry Rd west of Roan Mountain; Little Mountain Church Rd; Holtsclaw Rd; Herman Johnson Loop; J D Whitehead Rd; Old Hwy 19E, Schoolhouse Rd and Dave Simerly Rd in Tiger Valley; Rittertown Rd south of Hampton; Church St and 1st St through Hampton; Mill Pond Rd in the Valley Forge area. The quite winding alignment where it crosses the Doe River twice is completely abandoned; State Line Rd/Johnson Ave/Sycamore St/Broad St through Elizabethton, plus today's TN 400 and Bristol Hwy/Elizabethton Hwy/Old Elizabethton hwy to Bluff City. In 1931 or 1932, US 19 south was extended over US 19W to the new US 19E-19W split in Hillcrest (current TN 44/Elizabethton Hwy jct)


Virginia

Although an original US Highway, US 19 does not appear on the 1926 Official (which shows other US routes) nor the 1927 Clasons. It does appear on a mid-1927 Official map. It ran generally as it does today. In this routing, US 19 was added to: US 11 and VA 10 from the Tennessee line to Abingdon. VA 106 from Abingdon to Hansonville VA 112 from Hansonville to Lebanon VA 11 from Lebanon to the West Virginia Line Here is a more detailed look at the history of US 19 from south to north Initially, US 19 entered Virginia via Pennsylvania Ave int Bristol, TN, then used State St west to Front St north to Spencer St northeast to Mary St east to Goodson St north to Danville Ave east to Fairview St north to Massachusetts Av east to Texas Av north which becomes Old Abingdon Hwy. which runs back into US 11-19 near the I-81 interchange. US 19 followed today's US 11 approaching Abingdon, then used Colonial Ave and crossed the railroad to modern US 11 at roughly the Bytt St location, then US 58 ALT northwest. US 19 followed today's US 19-58A to Hansonville except: SR 766 near Abingdon; SR 633 loop at Butts; SR 775 at Greendale; SR 876/802 at Holton Leaving Hansonville, US 19 used today's 19 up to SR 674, then abandoned alignment on the north side to Sunset Dr; US 19; SR 841 (except initially used SR 758 loop) to US 19 Bus; tiny bit of 19 Bus; Gilbert St/Old Fincastle Rd; VA 82; US 19 Bus through Lebanon. East of Lebanon, US 19 used SR 656 loop back to 19. After a brief stretch of today's US 19, US 19 followed the SR 872 loop near VA 80 EB. US 19 followed more of today's 19 but near VA 80 WB stayed north of the creek on Old Rosedale Hwy and some abandoned alignments until around SR 644. East of here, US 19 more closely followed it current path although in the field it appears old alignment pieces are visible to the north side. Before VA 369, US 19 originally used SR 770 to cross into Tazewell County, then SR 609 north back to US 19. US 19 followed its current path to Claypool Hill except it used the SR 705 loop. At Pounding Mill, US 19 used SR 637 but otherwise followed US 19-460 and then Bus US 19-460 to VA 16 ALT. Initially, US 19 followed Old Fincastle Tpk in western Tazewell, then current US 19 Bus through Tazewell, tehn Ben Bolt Rd east to VA 61. US 19 then followed VA 61 north to SR 678 Market St. US 19 followed SR 678 north to SR 645 east which used to connect back to modern 19-460. US 19 followed today's 19 to Bluefield except: SR 781; SR 680 loops in Springville; SRs 665 and 744/1520 Shannandale. There are other visible unnumbered loops that are visible to the north side of US 19-460. In Bluefield US 19 used Greever and East Sts


West Virginia

Appeared in December 1926 as an original US Highway, replacing WV 4 from Bluefield to Westover and WV 30 from Westover to Pennsylvania. Note that the original description of US 19 in the 1925 WVDOT Annual Report had US 19 ending at US 60 Gauley Bridge and the 1926 Official Maps of both Virginia and West Virginia show this, but by the time the US route system went live in late 1926, US 19 did extend all the way through the Mountaineer State. The road from Beckwith to US 60 was completed as new construction in 1926. It is unclear if US 19 was briefly part of the old route via Kanawha Falls which became part of WV 61 (now CR 13). In 1929, US 19 was rerouted at Belva to the current WV 39 crossing of Twentymile Creek. The old route used today's CR 16/6 which no longer crosses the railroad and abandoned routing northwest to the Creek crossing which remained many decades past but is now gone along WV 16 north of the WV 39 jct. About 1931 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19-21 was removed from CR 19/19 Cherry Creek Cir and CR 119/8 Lamar Cir in Cherry Creek; CR 19/17 Marshall Cir all between Ghent and Shady Spring; also CR 19/28 Ransom Dr, CR 119/20 Little Vine Dr, and CR 19/14 Old US 19 loops above Shady Spring. Also about 1931 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19-21 was rebuilt from Skelton to Mount Hope and removed from CR 19/5 and CR 4 Prosperity Rd through Prosperity; CR 16/68 Bradley School Rd; CR 19/1 Maple Ln (no longer connects to), CR 1/25, CR 19/43 Sherwood Rd, CR 21/8 Sherwood Heights Rd About 1934, US 19 was given new routing between Bluefield and Princeton. The old route became CR 25 Old Princeton Rd out of Bluefield; CR 25 Mercer Mall Rd to Edison (a bit of this is now WV 123); WV 71 legs (now CR 19/33 Maple Acres Rd to Glenwood; Glenwood/Green Valley/Old Bluefield Rds CR 19/29 from Glenwood to Princeton). Also about 1934 (WVDOT Annual Report), the original Beckley Bypass was completed. It is referred to as "Alternate Route" through at least 1936. Then by 1940, it appears mainline US 19 was moved onto it, leaving behind US 19 ALT (now WV 16, CR 21/5, more WV 16, and all of WV 210) through Beckley. Also about 1934 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19-21 was put on mostly new construction from Oak Hill to Fayetteville, leaving behind CR 19/2 Broadway Ave and CR 19/1 Nickelville Rd. About 1935 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19-21 was removed from Covington and Piney Creek Rds near Raleigh (south edge of Beckley) Also about 1935 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19-21 was put on new construction between Glen Jean and Oak Hill leaving behind CR 20 (now CR 21/20) from Glen Jean to Whipple Jct and CR 15 from Whipple Jct to Oak Hill. Also about 1935 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19-21 was removed from CR 21/4 Old Court St north of Fayetteville. Also about 1935 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19 was removed from Colasessano Dr (brick pavement!) which no longer crosses Buffalo Creek to Old Pennsylvania Ave north of Fairmont About 1936 (WVDOT Annual Report), US 19-21 was removed from today's CR 119/6 Sheloh Cir and CR 119/2 Madoc Cir in Cool Ridge In 1936 or 1937, US 19 was removed from CR 19/9 and CR 19/10 Robinson Run Rd in Bowlby. Between 1947-49, US 19 was rerouted to run directly from Beckley to Summersville as an addition to WV 41. The old route through Fayetteville to Gauley Bridge remained part of US 21 (now WV 16 except US 19 used WV 211 through Mt. Hope) while Gauley River to Summersville became an extended WV 39.


Pennsylvania

For many years the Venango Path was a Native American trail between the Forks of the Ohio (present day Pittsburgh) and Presque Isle, Pennsylvania, United States of America. Some of the modern US 19 follows the same path as this ancient trail. If you take U.S. 19 from Pittsburgh across the Allegheny and follow it to Perrysville, then you are on the old Venango trail path. Continue to Wexford and cross Brush Creek at Warrendale. Here, the path and modern road separate for a time. The path goes across fields while the road parallels it - from a distance of 3/4 mile to the west - for about 3 1/2 miles to Ogle. (From “Indian Paths Of Pennsylvania"). US 19 in Pennsylvania has maintained a similar alignment for much of its history. In 1928, US 19 was moved to its current route between Pittsburgh and Meadville. The West End Bridge in Pittsburgh was completed in 1932, and US 19 was realigned to cross the bridge. In 1936, US 19 was moved to its current alignment between Zelienople and Harmony. Through the 1940s and 1950s, different parts of US 19 were widened. In 1987, the Phase One project started to connect two sections of Ohio River Boulevard near Western Avenue and Chateau Street. Phase Two of the project included a new interchange between the PA 65 expressway (concurrent with US 19 west of the interchange) and the West End Bridge. The bridge was closed for two years for construction, but reopened in 1991, while construction finished in 1992. In 2003, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) started a project to build a US 19 tunnel under the Norfolk Southern Railway, as well as align the West End Bypass with the West End Circle, the intersection of US 19, PA 51, PA 60, and PA 837. The project was completed in 2010. In 2016, a diverging diamond interchange was built at the intersection of US 19 and I-70/79 in South Strabane Township. PennDOT has started construction on a multi-lane roundabout at the intersection of US 19, US 6, US 322, and PA 98 in Vernon Township, near Meadville. Construction is expected to be completed in October 2019. PennDOT has also started construction on an intersection improvement project at the northern intersection of US 19 and PA 97. PA 97 will be realigned to meet US 19 at a 90 degree angle, and new left turn lanes and traffic signals will be installed. Construction is expected to be completed in October 2019.
