History

US-24 originally entered the Beloit on Asherville Road. The highway then curved north becoming Brooklyn Avenue until reaching Elliot Street where it turned back west. It then intersected River Street, where it turned north and crossed a series of railroad tracks. After crossing the tracks, US-24 turned west onto East South Street then intersected K-14. US-24 followed K-14 north through the city to its current alignment. In a February 28, 1951, it was approved to realign US-24 to the east of Beloit. In April 1951, a bid was approved for $100,330 (equivalent to $ in ) to build the new section of US-24. Then in an August 13, 1958 resolution, it was approved to designate K-124 from the new alignment of US-24 west to K-14 in Beloit as soon as the county and city had finished necessary projects to bring the road up to state highway standards. Then, by mid-October 1958, the necessary projects had been completed, and in an October 22, 1958 resolution, it became K-124. K-124 was decommissioned in 1986, and is now known as East Main Street.
