In the original 1926 routing, US 60's western terminus was in Springfield, Missouri at its intersection with Route 66.

During the fight over the numbering of the Chicago-Los Angeles Highway (which became US 66), the Virginia Beach, Virginia to Springfield, Missouri road was proposed as US 62. Proposed US 62 followed US 60 from Virginia Beach to Poplar Bluff, MO, but did not continue across southern Missouri on the accepted US 60 alignment. Instead, it followed what is now U.S. Route 160 to Doniphan, Route 142 to Thayer, U.S. Route 63 to the junction with Route 14 north of West Plains, and Missouri 14 to Ozark where it ended at what was once U.S. Route 65 (now Business 65) south of the town (this intersection is now in the city limits of Ozark).
