US 400 is an east-west U.S. Highway, commissioned in 1994. Its route number is a "violation" of the usual AASHTO numbering scheme, as there is no US 00.
Termini
As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is west of Joplin, Missouri at an intersection with Interstate 44, which it shares with U.S. Highway 166. It originally ended in Garden City, Kansas; in 1996 it was extended to its current western terminus in Granada, Colorado at an intersection with US 385.[1][2]
US 400 and I-66
- Main article: Interstate 66
US 400 was created to run down a corridor for a possible extension of Interstate 66 which only runs from Washington, DC to northern Virginia. A call had been made to extend this interstate to California, but extension west Wichita, Kansas has been cancelled due to lack of enthusiasm from the states traversed, expense, and the lack of any other road along that path. US 400 was supposed to be a temporary route until I-66 is built. The eastern terminus of US 400 at Interstate 44 near Joplin, Missouri is where I-66 would leave its proposed multiplex with that interstate to enter Kansas. It will be many years before such an interstate will be built, if at all, and the numbering "66" is unsure due to the proximity of the former U.S. Highway 66, now designated historic.
States traversed
The highway passes through the following states:
Related US routes
- US Highways 412 and 425 are similar violations of the standard numbering scheme.
