U.S. 395 in Nevada is a major highway, the majority of which is now or is scheduled to be upgraded to Interstate Highway standards. The portion from Carson City to Reno is also designated as Interstate 580 but is not signed as such, except on mile markers. The highway follows the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada from state line to state line.
U.S. 395 enters Nevada at Topaz Lake then descends to Carson Valley where it becomes the main streets of Gardnerville, Minden and Carson City. In Reno the highway is designated the Martin Luther King, Jr. Freeway. The highway returns to California just north of Reno at Bordertown.
Points of interest along the highway include:
★ Topaz Lake
★ Jobs Peak (in California, but only viewable from the highway in Nevada)
★ Carson River
★ Carson Valley
★ Eagle Valley, the valley where Carson City resides.
★ Washoe Valley
★ Washoe Lake
★ Slide Mountain
★ Mount Rose
★ White Lake, a dry lake just east of the freeway.
US 395 enters Oregon at New Pine Creek, then heads north to Lakeview. At Lakeview, it overlaps Oregon Route 140 for five miles, then continues to north to Valley Falls. At Valley Falls, it turns northeast through Wagontire to Riley. Near Riley, US 395 overlaps US 20 through Hines and Burns. Approximately two miles northeast of Burns, US 395 turns north through Seneca and Canyon City to John Day. At John Day, it overlaps US 26 and heads west to Mount Vernon. At Mount Vernon, US 395 turns north through Long Creek and Pilot Rock to Pendleton. At Pendleton, it overlaps Interstate 84 and US 30 west to Stanfield. At Stanfield, US 395 turns north through Hermiston to Umatilla. East of Umatilla, it overlaps US 730 and heads west to Interstate 82. It then overlaps I-82 to the Washington state line at the Columbia River.
The Oregon section of US 395 is comprised of the following highways, from south to north:
★ Part of the 'Fremont Highway', which is Highway 19 (including the section concurrent with OR 140);
★ Part of the 'Central Oregon Highway', which is Highway 7 (concurrent with US 20);
★ The 'John Day-Burns Highway', which is Highway 48;
★ Part of the 'John Day Highway', which is Highway 5 (concurrent with US 26);
★ Part of the 'Pendleton-John Day Highway', which is Highway 28;
★ Part of the 'Old Oregon Trail', which is Highway 6 (concurrent with I-84 and US 30);
★ The 'Umatilla-Stanfield Highway', which is Highway 54;
★ Part of the 'Columbia River Highway', which is Highway 2 (concurrent with US 730); and
★ Part of the 'McNary Highway', which is Highway 70 (concurrent with I-82).
US-395 enters Washington with I-82 over the Columbia River then splits at exit 113 and goes through Kennewick and Pasco, in between Kennewick and Pasco it crosses the Columbia River as the Blue Bridge. Then combines and splits from I-182 and heads north. As it heads north it passes the Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco. It crosses through farmland and little towns until it combines with I-90 at the town of Ritzville. From there it goes to Spokane (US-2 merges into I-90/US-395 as they enter the city) and splits from I-90 at the Division st. exit. US-395 (along with US-2) proceed North through Spokane as Division street to the north edge of the city where they split (US-2 heading Northeast to Idaho). US-395 then proceeds north to the Canadian border.
US 395 currently runs north on the busy Division St to travel through Spokane. Division is known to be one of the highest concentration per capita of fast food restaurants. Many accidents and congestion occur along this corridor. WSDOT has had plans to build a north-south freeway east of Division for quite some time. The original routing was proposed to be from the Liberty Park interchange northward along Hamilton St. Local opposition stopped this corridor. More recently, WSDOT has proposed a new routing approximately one mile east to meet Interstate 90 near the Thor/Freya interchange. The north end will meet existing US 395 north of Wandermere where it becomes a freeway. Construction on the new freeway began between Wandermere and Francis in 2003. The freeway will take many years to comlete due to funding.
US-395 enters the Tri-Cities at I-82 exit 113, where it passes residential areas south of Kennewick. After that there is a stoplight at 27th Avenue. The next major intersection is at 10th next to Fred Meyer, then at West Kennewick Avenue, followed by the intersections at West Clearwater Avenue and North Yelm Street, then goes to the Columbia River. It then goes over the Columbia River as the Blue Bridge and from there you can see the Cable Bridge (WA-397) to the east as it goes to I-182/US-12. When it splits again in Pasco, it goes right by the Tri-Cities Airport before resuming a north/south direction at the Oregon Avenue interchange. And then on to I-90 and Spokane.
The Washington section of US-395, with the exception of concurrencies with Interstate 82, Interstate 182 and with Interstate 90 and U.S. 2, is defined at Washington Revised Code § 47.17.575.[1]
US Highway 395 once extended to downtown San Diego. This part of the highway is now the alignments of Interstate 15 from Hesperia to Devore and Interstate 215 from Devore to Temecula where it meets Interstate 15 again. From Temecula the old route follows Interstate 15 again to east of Fallbrook where the original US 395 still exists as a frontage road. "Old US 395" can be followed from north of California State Highway 76 through Escondido where it meets Interstate 15 again. Finally, California State Highway 163, the old routing of US 395, splits off Interstate 15 at the south end of Miramar and follows the Cabrillo Freeway into downtown San Diego.
