S. Numbered Highways as Revised by the Association on January 1, 1959. The necessity for an alternate routing under present policy was not discernible to the Committee as there is no apparent overcrowding of present U. S. 240 (Interstate 70 S).	U. S. 240 A Establishment of an Alternate U. S. Route This routing will begin at interchange (Pooks Hill) in North Bethesda which is junction point of Interstate Route 70 S, U.

MISSISSIPPI-ALABAMA GEORGIA NOT APPROVED Establishment of a new U. S.

Numbered Highways as Revised by the Association on January 1, 1959. Further, there appears to be an over-concentration of U. S. Routes in the areas affected by this routing with a consequent extremely low through traffic desire. The Committee recommended that the states involved give careful consideration to the upgrading and improvement of present U. S. Routes through the same corridor that would be affected by the proposed new U. S. route instead of adding an additional route.	New U. S. Route Establishment of a U. S.
