Much of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway's alignment was used to form U.S. Route 2 when the United States Numbered Highway System was formed in 1926. There are, however, several key differences between the Roosevelt Highway and US-2; the Roosevelt Highway was built to run from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon, while US-2 passes through neither of those cities.
