Former state routes in Arizona
Below is a list and summary of the former state routes in Arizona, including mileage tables and maps. Between the establishment of Arizona's numbered state highway system in 1927 and the present date, several state routes have been decommissioned. Some state routes were retired as a result of the state relinquishing ownership to local authorities, while others were made extensions of or redesignated as other highways, with some former state routes being upgraded to U.S. Highway or Interstate status.
State Route 62 (SR 62) was a state highway in northwestern Arizona running a total of 3.50 miles (5.63 kilometres) from US 93 and US 466, north of Kingman to the mining town of Chloride. SR 62 was designated on May 5, 1936, coinciding with the extension of US 466 and US 93 across the Hoover Dam into Arizona. Despite the separate State Route designation from US 93/US 466, the Arizona State Highway Department considered SR 62 to be the "Chloride Spur" of both U.S. Highways. It was deleted from the state highway system on July 23, 1971 because of the closure of the mine in Chloride. The road is still in use today as Mohave County Road 125.
The entire route was in Mohave County.
State Route 63 (SR 63), was a 22.80-mile (37-kilometre) long state highway in northeastern Arizona. The route was designated on May 18, 1932, running through the Petrified Forest National Park east of Winslow between U.S. Route 66 and U.S. Route 180. The road was decertified on September 7, 1951 and is now maintained by the National Park Service.
State Route 63 (SR 63) was a 136.64-mile (220-kilometre) long state highway in northeastern Arizona servicing the Navajo Nation. SR 63 was designated on January 10, 1961, along a route from U.S. Route 66 (US 66) in Chambers to the reservation boundary of the Navajo Nation. On December 14, 1962, SR 63 was extended north of the reservation boundary to SR 264 in Ganado. On June 15, 1970, the route was further extended north over Navajo Route 8 and Navajo Route 17 to US 164, which became part of US 160 later that year. SR 63 was decommissioned on May 11, 1981, when the route became part of US 191.
State Route 65 (SR 65) was a 139.06-mile (224-kilometre) long state highway between State Route 87 (SR 87) at Strawberry Junction and SR 264 in Second Mesa, located in northern Arizona. The route was designated on May 19, 1936, going between US 66 in Winslow and the Coconino National Forest boundary. On September 9, 1960, it extended to SR 264 in Second Mesa. On June 10, 1966, SR 65 was extended through the Coconino National Forest, replacing Forest Route 10 to SR 87 at Strawberry Junction, north of Payson. This road became part of SR 87 on July 25, 1967 when the last section of paving was completed on SR 65.
State Route 69T or State Route 69 Temporary (SR 69T) was a 3.02-mile (4.86-kilometre) long temporary state route in the Phoenix metropolitan area of Arizona. SR 69T was originally designated on January 10, 1955, running from McDowell Road and Grand Avenue (US 60, US 70 and US 89) south on 19th Avenue past a junction with US 80 at Buckeye Road, then proceeding east on Baseline Road to SR 87 and SR 93 at Country Club Drive in Mesa. The primary purpose for the existence of SR 69T was to serve as a detour and temporary corridor for future I-17 and I-10 traffic between Grand Avenue and Baseline Road, while both Interstates were under construction. Although SR 69T never touched its parent route, SR 69, the latter route used to run immediately parallel with or close to part of SR 69T, with the two routes being connected via Grand Avenue or Buckeye Road.
In 1957, the Black Canyon Freeway, a section of I-17 that had previously run from Durango Street to McDowell Road, was extended north along SR 69 on 23rd Avenue to a new interchange with Grand Avenue. Following the opening of I-17 between Grand Avenue and McDowell Road, SR 69T was truncated south to end at US 80 (Buckeye Road) on June 17, 1957. On March 12, 1963, SR 69T was further truncated in the west from US 80 to 16th Street and Baseline Road, then extended north along 16th Street to connect with I-10 at 16th Street. The newly constructed section of I-10 from I-17 at Durango Street to 16th Street, known as the Maricopa Freeway, effectively replaced the need for SR 69T between US 80 and 16th Street.
