U.s. Highway 79

United States Highway 79 is a north-south United States highway. The route is actually a northeast-southwest diagonal, with both east-west segments and north-south segments equally mixed. US 79, US 68, and Interstate 24/US 62 are the primary east-west access points for the Land Between the Lakes recreation area straddling the Kentucky/Tennessee border.

Termini

As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Russellville, Kentucky at an intersection with Business U.S. Highway 68. Its southern terminus is in Round Rock, Texas at an intersection with Interstate 35, 10 miles (16 km) north of Austin.

Historic termini

Until 1944, US 79's northern terminus was in West Memphis, Arkansas. Even then, the route was diagonal enough that it could have been numbered odd or even.
