Lake Ozark business loop
edit
U.S. Route 54 Business
(
US?54 Bus.
) was a business route of US?54. It followed due west via
Missouri Route 242
and then due south via Osage Beach Parkway. Then, it traveled due west via Bagnell Dam Boulevard to get to downtown Lake Ozark. It then continued to travel north to reconnect to US?54.
[4]
Before 1968, US?54 used to connect directly to Lake Ozark.
[5]
In 1968, a bypass was finished which caused US?54 to get rerouted. As a result,
Missouri Route 354
briefly appeared on a former alignment of US?54.
[6]
In 1969, US?54 Business appeared, replacing Route 354 in the process.
[7]
The designation was removed in 2021.

Kankakee business loop
edit
U.S. Route 54 Business
(formerly
U.S. Route 54 City
) was a business route of US?54. Before 1959, US?54 ran through downtown Kankakee.
[17]
In 1959, US?54 was rerouted onto a bypass (now part of
Interstate 57
) which, as a result, created US?54 City. It followed north through Kankakee via US?45/52 and present-day IL?50. It was then changed into US?54 Business in 1960.
[18]
Originally, the freeway abruptly stopped at North Street which caused US?54 to travel west to its city route.
[15]
It remained like that until 1962 when a freeway connection between US?54 Business and North Avenue was made.
[19]
In 1969, US?54 supplanted its business route as the bypass was extended on both ends.
[16]
Three years later, in 1972, US?54 was significantly truncated, removing a section of US?54 between
Griggsville
and
Chicago
.
