End of historic US highway 410

Note: since I don't have access to a comprehensive collection of historical road atlases, much of the info below is based on the research of Robert Droz; click here to view his site. Photo credits: Mark Bozanich; me

The east end of US 410 was in Lewiston ID. Please view the many photos and maps on my Lewiston highways page. The west end was at US 101 in Aberdeen WA; you can view photos from there on this page.

Across the river from Lewiston is Clarkston WA. There, at the corner of 13th Street and Bridge Street is the "410 Drive-In".

Bridge used to serve as US 410, but it's now US 12. I enjoy finding vestiges of old highways like this. Obviously this place has been around awhile; I believe the sign said 1955.

About 100 miles west of Lewiston lies Walla Walla WA. That's where the photo below was taken:

Today Business US 12 follows the route of historic US 410 along Isaacs Avenue through town. This is looking eastbound; the Blue Mountains are visible in the background. Below is a close-up of the shield:

Note the "ghost" of 410. Mark has also found several other signs in Washington that carry on the memory of US 410. Heading west from Walla Walla, we come to Sunnyside, where there's still a "410 Market":

Yet further west in Yakima is another restaurant:

That's from Mark's website, which has some great photos from his travels - I encourage you to check it out, particularly if you're interested in bridges, county courthouses, and other roadside curiosities. He found another remnant of US 410 in Yakima (below):

It's hard to make out with the shadows from the neon tubes, but it says "Fruitvale 410 Drive-In Theatre". Below is a close-up of the 410 shield:
