While officially designated and shown on West Virginia Division of Highways maps as a state route,[1] the road was signed in the field as a county route since at least the 1990s.[2][3] The route was formally decommissioned on March 16, 2018, when a Highways Commissioner's Order was signed redesignating the road as Hardy County Route 59.[4]
