Talk:U.S. Route 410

Merge

This article should be merged with Washington State Route 410 (see also the prior discussion on Talk:Washington State Route 410. The route barely left Washington state when it was a U.S. highway, and there's nothing that can be said here that couldn't also be said in the history section of Washington State Route 410. -- Kéiryn (talk) 00:31, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

This article should remain independent. US Route 410 was divided into six highways when it was decommissioned. US 410 became US 12, SR 8, US 101, US 99, SR 167, and SR 410. Information in this article would end up in six places. Who wants to read six articles instead of one article? Sehome Bay (talk) 08:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Replacement with U.S. Route 12

I tried to make it clear that U.S. Route 410 was more-or-less replaced with U.S. Route 12 in Washington, mainly in Eastern Washington when I wrote the following:

In eastern Washington, much of the route was renumbered to U.S. Route 12, as was the portion west of present day Interstate 5. In the portion of US 410 crossing the Cascade Mountains, instead of heading north (on what is now Interstate 5) through Olympia and Tacoma before heading east over Chinook Pass), the replacement federal route (US 12) heads east instead over White Pass south of Mount Rainier and south of Chinook Pass. US 410 became "Washington State Route 410" east of Tacoma and northwest of Yakima.

The Idaho portion was never really long enough to warrant its own article (though the Interstate Highway Bridge has an article). My change was reverted. As a result, I don't think the article in it's current form communicates this information very clearly. How can we clarify the most important points I was trying to make? -- RobLa (talk) 01:55, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Ideally, this article would be structured similar to U.S. Route 16 in Michigan, a FA on a former U.S. route. There, the route description describes the latest continuous route used by the highway while details of its decommissioning and replacements is left to the History section.

Presumably you mean "featured article" when referring to "FA". Note that U.S. Route 16 in Michigan doesn't cross any state lines, whereas U.S. Route 410 does. -- RobLa (talk) 05:26, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
