[edit] History

U.S. Route 630
U.S. Route 30N

The route now known as US 95 Spur was previously known as U.S. Route 630 and U.S. Route 30N.

U.S. Route 630 was an east-west United States highway. It was decommissioned in or around 1931. With a length of around three miles, it may have been the shortest signed US route ever. It was concurrent with US 30N for its entire length.

An earlier route numbered US 630 was proposed from Echo, Utah (northeast of Coalville) to Ogden, Utah, but was never signed in the field.

U.S. Route 30N was a split route off of U.S. Route 30 and was coterminus with U.S. Route 630 at its west end in Oregon. East of Weiser, it was concurrent with what is now US 95 to Fruitland, Idaho, where it reconnected with US 30.
