New U.S. Bikes Routes have been designated in Southeastern Washington.
The Washington State Department of Transportation has added the routes to the national system. U.S. Bike Routes direct bicyclists to preferred routes that tend to have lower traffic volumes and take advantage of scenic landscapes.
The new local routes that were added to the U.S. system are 23 miles of State Route 27 and U.S. Highway 195 between Pullman and the Idaho border. 104 miles of state highways and county roads between the Northern border of Whitman County, South to Asotin. Two miles from Tekoa to the Idaho border have also been added to the U.S. Bicycle Route system.
