US 410: Appeared in the 1925 US Route plan, running from US 101 (now US 12/Chehalis St intersection) Aberdeen WA to Lewiston ID (see comments at bottom of entry). This routing was unchanged when the US route system rolled out in late 1926. Aberdeen to Olympia was an addition to WA 9; Olympia to Tacoma was an addition to US 99/WA 1; Tacoma to Yakima was an addition to WA 5; Yakima to Idaho was an addition to WA 3; the short Idaho segment was not a state highway.
US 410 Aberdeen to Yakima 1927 RMcN
US 410 Yakima to Lewiston 1927 RMcN Between 1928-30, US 410 was removed from Niles Rd through Niles. In 1932, US 410 was removed from Powerhouse Rd/River Rd in the Brace-Fruitland area west of Yakima. Also in 1932, US 410 was given a much more direct routing between Sunnyside and Prosser. The old route became Rohman St, North Ave (now I-82 Bus), 6th St, Lincoln Ave, and 16th St in Sunnyside; Mabton-Sunnyside Rd (now WA 241) to Givents Corner; Grandview Pavement Rd/5th St through Grandview; Old Inland Empire Hwy through North Prosser and Whitstran to Benton City; Hazel Ave, Grace Ct, Grace Ave, Horne Dr/Division St/9th St/Babs Ave (now WA 225), 2nd St across the river to Kiowa (bridge gone now); current WA 224 from Kiona to West Richland; Van Glesen St, Stevens Dr, Williams Blvd, and George Washington Way through Richland; current WA 240 to Richland Wye
US 410 original and new routes shown across Yakima Valley 1931 Official In 1933 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Pioneer Way E out of Tacoma; Pioneer Ave and S Meridian in Puyallup. US 410 now used River Rd and N Meridian. About 1934, US 410 was removed from the lengthy Old Naches Hwy from the current US 12/WA 410 jct through Naches and Gleed. In 1935 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Central Park Dr/Montesano-Aberdeen Rd/Devonshire Rd, plus Wynooche Ave between Aberdeen Junction and Montesano. In 1936 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Lakeview Ave SW and Steilacoom Blvd SW in Lakewood. If US 410 ever used Summit Lake Rd NW between McCleary and Olympia it stopped doing so by 1937. In 1937 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Old Olympic Hwy SW (south of today's US 101/WA 8 interchange). Also in 1937, US 410 was removed from Pacific Ave SE out of Olympia, WA 510 to St. Clair, and Old Pacific HwySE/Nisqually Rd to today's I-5. Also in 1937 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Byrnes Rd between Reese and Touchet. Likely when the new Lewiston-Clarkson Bridge opened in 1939 but no later than 1943, US 410 was removed from Elm St and Diagonal St through Clarkston. Also by 1937 (see comments at bottom of entry), US 410 was posted through Lewiston, crossing Clearwater River to end at US 95 in North Lewiston (intersection of 20th, 4th, and North-South Hwy). In 1940 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from 3rd St and Young St to use Main St all the way through Elma. In 1942 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Wellington Ave/Ranier St/abandoned through airport out to Kibler Rd out of Walla Walla. In 1951, US 410 was removed from 18th St/removed Clearwater River bridge/20th St in eastern Lewiston ID. Instead it continued on Main St to 21st St, then across a new bridge and road to a new US 95 endpoint (now US 12/ID 128 junction).
In 1953, US 410 was removed from Parker Heights Rd at Donald. Also in 1953 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from abandoned/Old 2nd Ave/2nd Ave/Hanson Loop/abandoned/underwater/Old Peninsula Hwy/abandoned from Burbank to below Two Rivers. Also in 1953, US 410 was rebuilt a bit westward at Wallula Junction In 1954 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Columbia Park Trail and Columbia Dr from Richland Wye to Kennewick; (used the bike/walk path through Playground of Dreams), Gum St/10th Ave back to 410 in Pasco. Between 1946-55, US 410 was removed from Howard Rd/Riverwalk Dr SE outside Auburn; SE 408th St/180th Ave SE/SE 416th St/192nd Pl SE/196th Ave SE and 236th Ave SE/SE 440th St west of Enumclaw. In 1955, US 410 was extended west replacing US 101 to its new routing over the Chehalis River into Aberdeen on a one way pair of G and H Sts where US 410 now ended. In 1956, US 410 was given a more direct route between Sumner and Enumclaw by following a different branch of WA 5 through Buckley. The old route via Auburn remained a branch of WA 5 (today this is Wood Ave/Elm St/Valley Hwy out of Sumner; A St to Auburn; Main St/Auburn Way; WA 164 to Enumclaw
In December 1958 (WSDOT), US 410 was placed onto the Olympia-Tumwater Freeway, leaving behind Mud Bay Rd/Harrison Ave/Olympic Way/4th Ave/Martin Way through Olympia.
About 1958, US 410 was removed from W. Powerhouse Rd/removed bridge/S. Naches Rd just south of Gleed. Also in 1958 (WSDOT), US 410 was given its eastern bypass of Zillah, leaving behind 6th St and 1st Ave (now cutoff by I-82 to leave Railroad Ave). In 1960 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from the following segments between McCleary and US 101: Marissa Ln; Summit Lake Cutoff; Kennedy Creek Rd; Winslow Dr SW/Winslow Dr NW; Old Olympic Hwy NW; Old Highway 410 SW. Between 1959-61, US 410 was given one-way splits in Lewiston ID. EB used the original route of Main St. WB used D St to 1st St. In November 1960 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Old Highway 410 SW in West Olympia. In 1960 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Pacific Hwy from roughly I-5 Exit 124 to Lakewood, Tacoma Way to a temporary connectionto the new freeway where the I-5/WA 16 interchange is now. Also in 1960 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Van Belle Rd and Scoon Rd between Granger and Sunnyside. In 1962, US 410 was given one way splits in Aberdeen. WB used the original route of Wishkah St while EB began using Heron St/Hornsby Way. In September 1962 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from William McCleary Rd leaving McCleary. Between 1960-63, US 410 was removed from Buena Rd through Buena. In September 1963 (WSDOT), US 410 was removed from Monte-Elma Rd/Main St from Schouweller Rd through Elma, Elma-McCleary Rd to McLeary, Simpson Ave, 3rd St, and Mox Chehallis Rd in McCleary.
In November 1963 (WSDOT), US 410 was rerouted in Yakima to leave 5th Ave at C St to 8th St south to Yakima Ave out to the new I-82, then south to Valley Mall Rd back to Main St in Union Gap. The old route is 5th Ave to Walnut St to 1st St south becoming Main St in Union Gap.
In June 1965 (WSDOT), US 410 was given its bypass around the north of Pasco. This left behind Lewis St through Pasco. In August 1965 (WSDOT), US 410 was added to I-82 from Valley Mall Rd south to what is now Exit 38, where the freeway transitioned to the US 410 route east over Yakima River (bridge now gone) to Thorp Rd In May and September 1966 (AASHO), Washington unsucessfully tried to replace US 410 with US 12 from Lewiston ID to Union Gap WA. In 1966, US 410 was removed from Tacoma Way/26th St/G St/Bay St in Tacoma and moved to I-5.
In June 1967 (AASHO), US 410 was decommissioned: Aberdeen to Elma was replaced by US 12 (still US 12 except Pioneer Ave/Main St through Montesano; Monte-Elma Rd to Brady; Monte-Brady Rd south to US 12) Elma to US 101 became WA 8 WA 8 to Olympia remained US 101 Olympia to Tacoma remained US 99. Today this is I-5 to Exit 109; Martin Way; I-5 to Exit 135
US 410 replaced by US 12, WA 8 and I-5/US 99 from Aberdeen to Tacoma 1968 Official Tacoma to US 12 in the Naches area became WA 410. Today this is WA 167 from Tacoma to Puyallup; N. Meridian and Stewart Ave/Main St in Puyallup to Sumner; Thompson St, Adler Ave, Main St, 160th Ave, 54th St through Sumner
US 410 replaced by WA 410 from Tacoma to Neches area 1968 Official US 12 from the Naches area to Lewiston ID became US 12. This is still US 12 except: Fruitvale Blvd, 5th Ave, Lincoln Ave, 8th St, Yakima Ave through Yakima; Thorp Rd/Yakima Valley Hwy/Wine Country Rd from I-82 Exit 38 through Sunnyside, Grandview, and Prosser, plus abandoned road east of Wittkopf Loop to around I-82 MM 84; abandoned/Jacobs Rd/destroyed/Kennedy Rd from Kiona to Duportall Rd near Richland, destroyed routing across I-182, a bit of Windmill Rd, Columbia Park Tr, WA 240 to Richland Wye; Old Highway 12 through Touchet, Lowden, and Whitman; Heritage Rd/Pine St, 2nd Ave, Main St, and Isaacs Ave through Walla Walla; Main St/D St couplet through Lewiston ID.
US 410 replaced by US 12 from Naches area to Lewiston 1968 Official Note that right around this time, I-82 Exit 38 was finished and the freeway extended over the Yakima River, where it transitioned back to US 12/410 about 0.3 miles south of the landslide closure on Thorp Rd, leaving behind Thorp Rd and the removed Yakima River bridge. There is much uncertainty on where US 410's east end was at initially. The 1927 AASHO list had these listings for US 195 and US 410:
US 410 and US 195 descriptions, 1927 1927 AASHO list This seems to say US 410 ended at the state line and did not go into Idaho. The US 195 entry is less clear, as it doesn't list a second Idaho incursion, so the state line it refers to at Lewiston could be the one near where US 95-195 split today. But it could be interpreted as ending at the same location as US 410, from the other direction. The first legible AASHO route list to include US 410 mileage is from November 1934. It says US 410 begins 32 miles from Pomeroy. Washington official maps have the state line at 31 miles. US 195 is shown in both the 1932 and Nov 1934 lists as 16 miles from Uniontown WA to its Lewiston endpoint. Maps then have the distance to where US 95 and US 195 would have split just outside Lewiston as 17 miles, a little over 2 miles short of the state line where US 410 went. US 410 was not on the Idaho list of US routes that AASHO gave them in 1927, nor did it appear in any annual highway report put out by Idaho, nor have US 410 on one of their maps. The earliest evidence I could find that US 410 existed in Idaho was this photo (zoom in, lower left), which has to be older than 1938 because no construction is visible of the 1939 replacement bridge. US 410 also appears on the 1939 Nez Perce County map. The Idaho Highway Department did not have jurisdiction over highways within Lewiston until July 1935 legislation was passed. Absent additional discovery of information, my best guess is that US 410 east originally ended at the state line and was extended through Lewiston to US 95 (intersection of 20th, 4th, and North-South Hwy) after the 1935 law and by 1937 or so. | ||||||||||||||||
