Current revision

Image:US138.png U.S. Highway 138, commissioned in 1926, is a short east-west highway in Colorado and Nebraska that runs parallel to the South Platte River. The western terminus is in Sterling, Colorado, where it met U.S. Highway 38 from 1926 to 1931 (US 38 became U.S. Highway 6); the eastern terminus is at U.S. Highway 30 north of Big Springs, Nebraska. US 138 is an example of a "child" route that has long outlived its "parent"; before U.S. Highway 99 was decommissioned in 1964, US 138 was the only US highway to not have a "parent" route.
