History

In a February 28, 1957 it was approved to realign US-24 to the east of Beloit.[5] Then in an August 13, 1958 resolution, it was approved to designate a .182 miles (0.293 km) spur from the new US-24 west to Beloit as soon as the county had finished necessary projects to bring the road up to state highway standards.[2] Then by mid-October 1958 the county had finished necessary projects and in an October 22, 1958 resolution it became K-124.[2] By 1968 K-124 had been extended west to end at K-14.[1] K-124 was decommissioned in 1986 and is now known as East Main Street.
