U.S. Route 830, (US 830), was a U.S. Highway which ran between a junction with U.S. Route 97 near the city of Maryhill, Washington and a junction with U.S. Route 101 near Ilwaco, Washington. The route still (mostly) exists; however it is currently signed as State Route 14 between Maryhill and Vancouver, Washington, Interstate 5 between Vancouver and Longview, State Route 432 for a short stretch through Longview; and State Route 4 from Longview to the western terminus near Ilwaco. The number suggests that U.S. 830 was a spur route of U.S. Route 30. While 830 and 30 never connect, they ran parallel to each other for the entire length of U.S. 830. 830 ran on the northern bank of the Columbia River (through Washington) whereas U.S. 30 runs on the river's southern bank, through Oregon.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
