State Route 302 Spur is a spur route of State Route 302 in the town of Purdy, Washington. It connects SR 302 with State Route 16 north of the town and south of the town by two separate interchanges.
SR 302 Spur comprises the half of Purdy Drive north of the Elgin-Clifton Highway (mainline SR 302). At its northern terminus, it ends at a half-interchange with the State Route 16 freeway.
SR 302 Spur is the legislative designation of this road. However, prior to construction of the freeway bypass around Purdy, Purdy Drive used to be a part of SR 16. As such, it could also be considered a spur of SR 16, although not officially so.
Mileposts on SR 302 Spur continue north from mainline SR 302.
Prior to the completion of the SR 16 bypass around Purdy, Purdy Drive (including SR 302 Spur) was a part of SR 16. When the SR 16 designation was moved to the bypass, the southern half of Purdy Drive became an extension of SR 302, and the northern half became SR 302 Spur.
Prior to the 1964 state highway renumbering, Purdy Drive was part of the Port Orchard-Tacoma branch of Primary State Highway 14.

Famous quotes containing the words spur and/or route:
“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
