United States Highway 183 is a north-south United States highway. US 183 holds the honor of being the last US route to be completely paved. The 20-mile segment in Loup County, Nebraska north of Taylor was unpaved until 1967[1] (http://www.us-highways.com/us1.htm#US_183).
As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Presho, South Dakota at an intersection with Interstate 90. Its southern terminus is in Refugio, Texas at the southern intersection of U.S. Highway 77 and Alternate US 77. US 183 and Alt US 77 are co-signed for their final 80 miles between Cuero and Refugio.
Historic termini
When the route was first commissioned in 1930, it ran from North Platte, Nebraska to near Selden, Kansas.
From 1932 until I-90 was built in the 1960s, US 183's northern terminus was 10 miles further west, in Vivian, South Dakota at an intersection with its parent, U.S. Highway 83.
In 1940, the southern terminus was extended to Junction, Texas. It reached its present endpoint in 1950.
