State Highway 9 (SH-9) is a state highway in Latah County, in the U.S. state of Idaho. It runs 13.5 miles (21.7 km) from SH-8 near Deary, north to SH-6 near Harvard.[1]

Route description

SH-9 begins at an intersection with SH-8 near Deary and heads generally northwest and north to end at an intersection with SH-6 near Harvard.

The Lewis and Clark Highway, from Lewiston eastward to Lolo Pass, was designated State Highway 9 in 1916 and construction began in 1920.[2][3] Upon its completion in 1962, it became U.S. Route 12.[4]

SH-9 was the last state highway in Idaho to be paved (though, as of 2012, SH-29 and SH-64 still have unpaved sections).

The entire route is in Latah County.
