Special routes of US 70
There are a number of special routes of U.S. Route 70 (US 70) that connects US 70 to downtown areas, bypass city centers, or provide alternate routes around an area.

In real life, US 70 Byp. spans a total length of 9.2 miles (14.8 km).[1] The featured section is 4.8 miles (7.2 km) longer than in real life.

Trivia
- At the rendered western terminus of the Idabel bypass route, one of the route markers is mislabeling the road as State Highway 70B (SH-70B), which is in fact exactly similar to as in real life. To avoid confusion, there is a state highway with the same number as the bypass route that has the "B" suffixed letter, which functions as a spur route of US 70.
