U.S. Route 87 (US 87) is a north–south United States Highway in Texas, northeastern New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana in American Truck Simulator. The route is separated into six sections: The first section runs from SH 35 in Port Lavaca to due north of US 59 in Victoria. The second section runs from US 77 in Victoria to Loop 13 in San Antonio. The third section runs from New Braunfels Avenue to Hildebrande Avenue within San Antonio, entirely concurrent with Interstate 10 and partially with Interstate 35. The fourth sections runs within Fredericksburg, concurrent with US 290. The fifth section runs from US 277 in San Angelo to WYO 258 in Casper, partially concurrent with Interstate 27 and mostly with Interstate 25. The sixth sections runs from Brookhurst to US 2 in West Havre, mostly concurrent with Interstate 25 and Interstate 90.

Most of the portion from Raton, New Mexico to Billings, Montana overlaps Interstates 25 and 90, and it also overlaps the entirety of Interstate 27 between Lubbock and Amarillo in northern Texas. The portion from Raton, New Mexico to the Colorado–Wyoming state line is unsigned.

In real life, US 87 spans a total length of 1,998 miles (3,215 km) from Port Lavaca, Texas to West Havre, Montana. Unlike the southern terminus in ATS, the road actually meets with SH 238, which is rendered as an inaccessible road. It is the longest US Highway to not have a "1" in its number and the third longest north–south road in the United States.

Course

US 87 begins at SH 35 in Port Lavaca at the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and runs a short distance northwest to US 59 at Victoria, where there's a small gap in the highway through the downtown district of the city. US 87 resumes at US 77, in the north of Victoria, and continues through the towns of Sutherland Springs and Lone Oak before the second section ends when meeting with Loop 13 in southeastern San Antonio. The highway resumes at exit 576 of Interstate 10, where it overlaps with the latter route and US 90 around downtown San Antonio to the south. The highway overlaps a small portion of Interstate 35 east of downtown; soon afterwards, another gap in the route begins at exit 566 of I-10 northeast of San Antonio. A short segment of the highway resumes and runs within Fredericksburg, where it also overlaps with US 290. The fifth section of US 87 begins at US 277 south of San Angelo, overlapping the latter route and Bryant Boulevard through the city and intersects US 67. The highway trends northwest and begins to cross the prairie-covered plateau of the Llano Estacado from the south. Along the way, it overlaps a small portion of Interstate 20 as it runs through and partially bypasses Big Spring; here, a business route of the highway runs through the busy downtown area. Along its way to the panhandle of northern Texas, it intersects US 180 in Lamesa, and afterwards, it begins to overlap with Interstate 27 from Lubbock, where it meets the overlapped highways of US 62 and 82, intersecting US 70 in Plainview, US 60 in Canyon (where the latter overlaps with the two highways), all the way to Amarillo. There, the concurrency of I-27 ends, and the highway intersects Interstate 40 and US 287 (which the latter overlaps until the left-driving configuration through downtown). US 60 ends in downtown Amarillo; soon afterwards, the 287 resumes its overlapping of US 87, crosses the Canadian River, until reaching Dumas, where the 287 continues into Oklahoma while the highway turns east and northeast into Dalhart; there, it intersects US 54 and US 385.

Soon after entering New Mexico, the highway enters Clayton, where it intersects US 56 and US 412 and begins running concurrent with US 64. The highways run across the shortgrass prairies of northeastern New Mexico and run through Des Moines. They enter Raton, where it intersects Interstate 25 while US 64 continues west into the city. The highway begins to overlap with I-25 to the north as it leaves Raton into Colorado.

US 87 remains concurrent with Interstate 25 throughout Colorado. It is a rare occurrence for a US Highway to have a concurrency with an Interstate in its entirety within state boundaries. Besides the concurrency, it runs through Colorado's major cities including Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins.

The highway continues to follow Interstate 25 as soon as it enters Wyoming. It runs through the city of Cheyenne, meeting the overlapped highways of Interstate 80 and US 30, and begins to cross the northwestern portion of the Great Plains. Approaching Casper, a small gap in the route is presented and begins at WYO 258. Just northeast of the interchange in Brookhurst, US 87 resumes and begins its fifth section. It runs parallel with I-25 through Brookhurst and Evansville until it re-enters Casper and rejoins the Interstate once again. Here, it also follows a concurrency with US 20 and 26 (which previously followed from Douglas to WYO 258). At I-25's northern terminus in Buffalo, the 87 then overlaps with Interstate 90 and passes Sheridan, where it begins a concurrency with US 14 until reaching exit 9.

The two highways enter Montana and the Crow Indian Reservation, the homeland of the Crow Tribe. They begin to overlap with US 212 in Crow Agency and turn to the east into Billings. It is here that US 87 finally ends its long journey of overlapping Interstates all the way back from Raton in New Mexico. The highway begins running northward as it climbs out of Billings and crosses the Bull Mountains, where it intersects with Old Divide Road, which provides access to the Signal Peak coal mine. Shortly after, the highway runs through Roundup, where it has a brief concurrency with US 12 and continues to the junction of Grass Range with MT 19 and MT 200. The highway turns westward, running concurrent with the 200 through Lewistown, where US 191 follows the highways briefly as far as Eddies Corner. Proceeding across the plains of Montana, the highways meet with US 89 at Armington Junction, where a rest stop and a weigh station is presented. The highways run together to Great Falls, where US 87 breaks away from the 89 and the 200 to run north through town. After crossing the Missouri River above Black Eagle Falls and passing through the town of Black Eagle, the highway runs northeast along the Missouri northeastward. After crossing the Marias River and passing through the town of Big Sandy, the highway terminates at US 2 in West Havre near the city of Havre.

History

• In the initial version of the Colorado map expansion DLC, the section of US 87 from Raton to SH 14 in Fort Collins, concurrent with Interstate 25, was added.

• In the initial version of the Wyoming map expansion DLC, the sections of US 87 from SH 14 in Fort Collins to WYO 258 in Casper, concurrent with Interstate 25, and from Brookhurst, concurrent with Interstate 25, to US 14 northeast of Sheridan, concurrent with Interstate 90, were added.

• In update 1.44, the section of US 87 from east of Interstate 25 in Raton, concurrent with US 64, to the Colorado–New Mexico state line, concurrent with Interstate 25, was added.

• In the initial version of the Montana map expansion DLC, the section of US 87 from US 14 northwest of Sheridan, concurrent with Interstate 90, to US 2 in West Havre was added.

• In the initial version of the Texas map expansion DLC, the sections of US 87 from SH 35 in Port Lavaca to Victoria, from US 77 in Victoria to Loop 13 in San Antonio, around downtown San Antonio, concurrent with Interstate 10, in Fredericksburg, concurrent with US 290, and from US 277 south of San Angelo to Raton were added.

• In update 1.48, the section of US 87 from US 56 and US 412 in Clayton, concurrent with US 64, to east of Interstate 25 in Raton became part of the New Mexico map expansion DLC.
