1 Termini

As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in Virginia Beach, Virginia at a poorly signed intersection with U.S. Highway 58. Its western terminus was originally in Los Angeles but was moved to east of Quartzsite, Arizona at an intersection with Interstate 10 after the highway was decommissioned through California starting in 1964. It has since been moved farther east to Phoenix where it is known as the "Superstition Freeway." I-10 and California State Highway 60 replaced US 60 from Arizona to Los Angeles.
