Former US-6, US-138 to SH-14 and Downtown Sterling

 

 

Location: Chestnut St and 4th St, Sterling

Former signage to turn left for US-6 West…and stay straight for SH-14? I’m not quite sure how that would work and can only assume that’s an error. Staying straight would allow one to parallel SH-14 on a neighborhood street, but there was no clear route down to it. Maybe that’s an old alignment of it or something- but the way SH-14 was, that would have been a really stupid way to go

A couple blocks later and we’ll come to the former junction with SH-14

Location: 4th St and Main St, Sterling

Turn left to u-turn back onto 6 East to head back towards I-76

Location: 4th St and Main St, Sterling

Or turn right on Main St for SH-14, which heads towards FoCo. Follow US-6 West towards Atwood.

Location: 4th St and Division Ave, Sterling

Because Sterling’s grid isn’t very square, US-6 has to take a fairly circuitous path out of town. For now, we’ll turn left onto Division Avenue
