According to ablogtophone, US 30 is a US Highway in the US state of Idaho. The road forms an east-west route through the south of the state. The road has long double numberings with Interstate 84 and Interstate 86, but also has a number of its own sections. The route is 669 kilometers long.
Travel directions
The US 30 has two separate routes along I-84, the first part is from Fruitland to New Plymouth and follows the old route from Boise to Portland. The road then merges with I-84 and continues past Boise and only rejoins at Bliss, 206 kilometers southeast.
In Bliss the road turns off and then follows the course of the Snake River. The road initially heads south, but bends east from Buhl. This area is part of the large Snake River Plains, a large flat area in central southern Idaho. One then passes through Twin Falls, the largest town between Boise and Pocatello. This is where the US 93 crosses. The road then follows the course of the Snake River eastward, paralleling I-84 for some distance. At Rupert, the road merges back into I-84, only to be double-numbered for nearly the entire route with I-86.
In Pocatello, US 30 forms its own route through the city. The road continues through downtown and merges with US 91. The road then merges into I-15 for a 40-kilometer double numbering.
At McCammon, US 30 turns off again and then heads east through mountainous terrain with peaks of up to 2,500 meters. Then you reach a plateau at an altitude of about 1600 meters and you pass through the town of Soda Springs. The road then turns southeast and intersects with US 89 in Montpelier. The border with Wyoming follows shortly after . US 30 in Wyoming then continues towards Kemmerer.
History
US 30 was created in 1926. Several sections of US 30 have been replaced in Idaho by Interstate Highways, such as between Fruitland and Bliss, from Heyburn to Pocatello and a bit south of Pocatello. For the rest of the route, US 30 often parallels I-84. Only the easternmost part does not lead directly along other highways.
Traffic intensities
Every day, 10,800 vehicles drive at the Oregon border and 1,700 to 3,600 vehicles between Fruitland and I-84. From Bliss to Buhl, 2,000 to 2,800 vehicles run, increasing to 7,000 vehicles west of Twin Falls and 12,000 vehicles east of Twin Falls. This then quickly drops to 1,300 to 2,000 vehicles until Burley. The section through Pocatello has 8,000 to 13,000 vehicles. From I-15 to Montpelier, 4,500 to 5,000 vehicles and 1,200 vehicles run between Montpelier and the Wyoming border.
