At its creation in

U.S. Route 136 east from Rock Port to its intersection withU.S. Route 59 near Tarkio, then south with US 59 to St. Joseph.Before November 2001, US 275 ran alongside the
Union Pacific tracks between Waterloo andFremont, Nebraska . This routing was decommissioned and replaced by a newfreeway segment built as part of a project to connect Fremont via freeway to Omaha. This segment is officially called Reichmuth Road in Douglas County and Bell Street in Fremont.Prior to
July 1 ,2003 , US 275 followed a winding two-lane road between Council Bluffs andGlenwood, Iowa . The segment moved to a concurrency withU.S. Route 34 andInterstate 29 that day as part of a mass decommissioning of highways in Iowa. This road is now Mills County and Pottawattamie County Road L35.Exit list
