Historic US 70, 180 West, BIA Route 3 North - Coolidge Dam Road - Peridot, AZ

Back when the US Highways were first laid out in 1926, a route between US 85 at Caballo, NM and US 80-89 at Florence Junction, Arizona was defined. Partly because of it's short distance, this road was not considered a primary route, unlike US 80 which ran almost parallel to the road, albeit much further south. The road acted as a short cut for travelers on US 80 trying to reach Phoenix without having to dip south from Lordsburg, NM to Douglas, AZ (on the US-Mexico border), then up to Tucson and finally Florence. This road was given the designation of US 180, being the first child route of US 80. It traversed from Caballo, NM to Silver City, where it dipped south to meet (or nearly meet, as some historians believe) US 80 in Lordsburg before shooting back north to Duncan, AZ on it's way to Safford. From there it passed through the San Carlos-Apache Indian Reservation, where the road dipped south to cross the Gila River. The road came back up to Peridot, before making a beeline for Globe. US 180 then ran west to Superior before reaching it's western terminus at the junction of US 80-89 in Florence Junction. That dip south to cross the Gila River is what we're covering today. From 1928 when the dam opened until June 17, 1935, US 180 used the Coolidge Dam to carry the short cut traffic. It was on that date that US 180 was removed from the highway system, superseded by two US Highways primarily in Arizona and two state highways in New Mexico. The first blow came on June 8, 1931 when US 60 was extended into Arizona. It was co-routed with US 180 from Cutter, AZ to Florence Junction where US 60 continued to run concurrently with US 80-89. This made the section from Cutter to Florence Junction pointless, although it's destination was kept in the system in the mean time. (Note: Part of old US 70 is now impassible and was replaced with the modern Coolidge Dam Road from Peridot south). On June 17, 1935, US 180 was removed from the system. It's primary replacement was US 70, which was re-routed from northern Arizona onto a more southernly route. US 70 was routed along former US 180 from Lordsburg to Florence Junction on it's way to Los Angeles, while US 60 was moved further west to meet US 70 in Globe in the late 1930s as part of it's final routing which bypassed the old AZ 73 routing. US 60 and 70 continued to be co-routed until reaching Banning, CA where US 70 followed US 99 into Los Angeles via San Bernardino while US 60 continued on a more southernly route though Riverside. Planning for a bypass of the Coolidge Dam began as part of the World War II reconstruction project. It took over 10 years of planning and building when it finally opened to traffic on December 5, 1956. The route along the Coolidge Dam was abandoned by Arizona and handed back to the San Carlos-Apache Reservation, save for the dam itself which is still owned by the federal government. Bits of old US 180 slowly began changing numbers. After it was removed from the system in 1935, the portion from US 85 in Caballo to US 80 in Lordsburg was simply downgraded to NM 180. The following year, US 260 was rerouted from ending at US 60 in Springerville, AZ to US 80 in Deming, NM. This made NM 180 co-route with US 260 the short distance from Central (now Santa Clara) to Silver City. In 1961-62, NM 180 was renumbered to NM 90 to avoid confusion as US 260 was being removed and renumbered to US 180. This meant that part of original US 180, from Santa Clara to Silver City, would be re-introduced to the system as new US 180. Finally in 1988, NM 90 was truncated back to Silver City to remove the multiplex with US 180 to Santa Clara. The portion from Santa Clara to I-25 in Caballo became NM 152. Old US 180 now lives on as NM 152, new US 180, NM 90, US 70 and US 60. Thanks for watching!
