Title: Legacy State Highways of Washington State

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

When a recent state law (RCW 47.04.380) referenced “legacy state transportation facilities” WSDOT quickly realized that we did not have a geospatial dataset that documented the location, dates, and former names of our legacy State Highways. Using old county and state maps, right-of-way maps, data from our internal bridge information system, and articles from old department newsletters, we have mapped about 2500 miles of former state highways. This dataset does not include information for roads that are no longer open to traffic. This dataset presents current roadways within Washington State that were formerly designated by the State of Washington as State Roads, Primary State Highways, Secondary State Highways, State Routes, or US Highways and is authored by the Washington State Department of Transportation GIS and Roadway Data Office. Updates will occur as needed.

Purpose:

Current roadways within Washington State that were formerly designated by the State of Washington as State Roads, Primary State Highways, Secondary State Highways, State Routes, or US Highways.
