State Route 432 (SR 432) is a 10.32-mile-long (16.61 km)

Primary State Highway 12
(PSH 12) that had been routed through Longview and Kelso since 1937. SR 432 was established in 1968 and originally routed on Nichols Boulevard within Longview and was re-aligned onto its current route in 1991 after the opening of Industrial Way.

Route description

I-5 northbound at the Longview Wye in Kelso, the eastern terminus of SR 432
Longview Wye Interchange

SR 432 begins at an intersection with the Ocean Beach Highway, signed as

divided highway and the southern terminus of SR 411 in a partial cloverleaf interchange.[3] The SR 432 designation travels onto four-lane Tennant Way grade-separated highway and continues southeast, parallel to a BNSF rail yard, before intersecting Dike Road in a partial cloverleaf interchange and crossing over the Cowlitz River into Kelso.[4] The highway travels south of Southwest Washington Regional Airport and intersects Talley Way in a partial cloverleaf interchange before intersecting I-5.[5] The partial cloverleaf interchange, nicknamed the Longview Wye,[6] serves as the eastern terminus of SR 432 while the roadway continues south as the Old Pacific Highway.[7][8][9]

Every year, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2011, WSDOT calculated that the busiest section of SR 432 is the bridge over the Cowlitz River, serving 30,000 vehicles, while the least busy section is the western terminus at SR 4 in West Longview, serving 3,500 vehicles.[10] The entire route of SR 432 is designated as an Intermodal Connector within the National Highway System,[11] a highway system that includes roadways important to the national economy, defense, and mobility;[12] and as a Highway of Statewide Significance by WSDOT,[13] which includes highways that connect major communities in the state of Washington.[14] SR 432 forms part of the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic, serving as the link between Longview and the Lewis and Clark Bridge via 3rd Avenue on the 202-mile-long (325 km) bicycle race held annually.[15][16]

History

Shields of former PSH 12 and WA 832

SR 432 has been part of the

PSH 1 and US 99.[18][19][20] In 1952, the highway was proposed as U.S. Route 830 Alternate shortly after the completion of the Longview Wye on US 99 (now I-5).[21]

The Longview–Kelso branch of PSH 12 was replaced by SR 832 during the

loop ramp, which connected Old Pacific Highway to southbound I-5,[31] and replaced it with an improved interchange with Talley Way that opened on October 28, 2011.[5][9][32]

Major intersections

The entire highway is in Cowlitz County.
