Drive then east on Lexington Road/Greensboro Road back to US 29/US 70. Around 1948, this alignment was replaced by US 29/US 70. High Point alternate route 2 The second U.S. Route 70 Alternate (US 70A) in High Point was established around 1948 after US 29/US 70 switched to follow the first alternate alignment through the city; the entire route was in concurrency with US 29A. The alternate route now followed English Road, Main Street and Montlieu Avenue before reconnecting US 29/US 70 at Greensboro Road. In 1957, US 70A was decommissioned, while US 29A remained. High Point–Greensboro alternate route U.S. Route 70 Alternate (US 70A) was established in 1952 as a renumbering of US 70 through downtown Thomasville. In 1957, US 70A was extended east, replacing US 70 through High Point (Westchester Drive, Lexington Road and Greensboro Road), Jamestown (High Point Road), Greensboro (Lee, Spring Garden, Aycock, Fairground and Market Streets), Burlington, Mebane and Efland; which was US 70A's apex, at nearly long. In 1960, US 70A through downtown Thomasville was replaced by US 70 Business. In 1962, US 70A westbound was rerouted from Spring Garden and Fairground streets onto Lee and Aycock streets, in Greensboro. Around 1963, US 70A eastern terminus was truncated at O. Henry Boulevard; everything east from that point was reverted to US 70. In 1966 and again in 1968, US 70A was rerouted on various splits through downtown Greensboro. In 1969, US 70A was rerouted to use Lee Street to Murrow Boulevard, then north to Summit Avenue. Around 1991, the entire route was decommissioned, most of it becoming secondary, except for English Road continuing as NC 68. Greensboro alternate route U.S. Route 70 Alternate (US 70A) was established in 1938 as a new alternate routing through downtown Greensboro, via Fairground Avenue (Chapman Street?) and Market Street; the entire rout was in concurrency with US 29A. By 1949, it was extended south to Lee Street, but was moved back to its terminus along Spring Garden Street by 1953. In 1957 it was decommissioned when US 29/US 70 was rerouted onto freeways and its former alignment absorbed by High Point's US 70A. Hillsborough alternate route 1 The first U.S. Route 70 Alternate (US 70A) in Hillsborough was established in 1942 as a new alternate bypass north of downtown. It was replaced by US 70.
