Route description
SH-128 begins at the eastern terminus of SR 128 at the Washington–Idaho state line that separates the cities of Clarkston and Lewiston. The highway travels east along the Clearwater River as the Down River Road through an industrial park located in northern Lewiston. SH-128 intersects its spur route and turns northeast towards its eastern terminus, an intersection with US-12 eastbound.[1][2]
To the north of the highway is Lewiston Hill. The Old Spiral Highway has its southern terminus at an intersection with SH-128.
Every year, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2011, ITD calculated that 4,702 vehicles per day used SH-128 between the Washington state line and US-12.[3]
