 There are indications of ongoing construction to the south of US 98/SR 30, but very little roadway in that direction had been completed at the time.On maps from 1978, the routing of SR 173 from its southern terminus to its intersection with CR 296, which is the extension of SR 296 west of US 90/SR 10A, is showing as having been completed with hard surface.North of CR 296 in Bellview, the roadway was not signed as either a state nor county road for two blocks, until CR 297 picks up and carries the road to US 90/SR 10A.
