Prior to 2014, the highway continued east along the remainder of Harlan Drive, turned south at its intersection with Galvin Road, then turned east as Mission Avenue through Olde Towne Bellevue. It then connected with Iowa Highway 370 at the Bellevue Bridge. The Iowa highway was turned over to Mills County upon completion of the U.S. Route 34 bridge six miles (10 km) southeast of Bellevue, and the Nebraska state-maintained length was shortened to its present terminus.
