US 50 replaces WV 1 over there too 1927 Clasons

Adjustments: In November 1928 (AASHO), US 50 from Ohio at Parkersburg to Ellensboro was redesignated as US 50S.
Despite the clear directive that US 50S was the designation, West Virginia questioned in Julu 1929 whether this should remain signed as US 50 (no), and in fact the 1929 Official shows US 50N and US 50.
In 1929 (bridge date), US 50 was moved from Main St to Marie St through West Union.
Also in 1929 (WVDOT), US 50 was removed from CR 5026 Wonder Bar Rd east of Clarksburg as well as a now-abandoned loop that was CR 50/27 just east of I-79.
Also in 1929 (WVDOH), US 50 was removed from abandoned routing plus some of Junkins Rd northeast of Mt. Storm
In 1931 (WVDOH), US 50 was removed from CR 50/47 E. Main St east of West Union and placed on CR 50/30.
In 1932 (bridge date), US 50 was removed from CR 50/13 and the removed Cheat River Covered Bridge
In 1933 (WVDOH), US 50 was removed from Little Capacon River Access Rd and CR 50/9 Little Cacapon River Rd loop at Frenchburg; Clara Davis Ln west of Augusta; Nozzle Dr/Hook Rd at Pleasantdale; Flintstone Loop; long abandoned routing over Hanging Rock that stays well north of US 50
On January 16, 1935 (AASHO), US 50S was rerouted to end at Pike, therefore US 50 west was extended from Ellensboro over US 50N to Pike.
On January 22, 1935 AASHO notified West Virginia that US 50S went back to being US 50. There was some controversy, as Ohio wanted US 50N to become US 50 and US 50S to become US 50 ALT, but AASHO ruled the other way. Note that US 50S did get reroutes that were original US 50 - CR 50/23 Old 7th St (no longer connected to) and Northwestern Pike; CR 50/25 part of Highland Ave which no longer connects back to US 50 due to I-77; CR 50/34 Nutter Farm Rd, modern US 50 and WV 31 through Cairo to Harrisville; WV 16 Harrisville to Ellensboro.
