Interstate 182 (abbreviated I-182) is a short 15 mile interstate spur route of Interstate 82 located in the Tri-Cities region of Washington. The western terminus of I-182 is with I-82 west of Richland at Goose Gap; the eastern terminus is shortly after the junction of U.S. Route 395 in Pasco right before the Lewis St./Kahlotus interchange. I-182 does not actually travel through Kennewick, the largest of the Tri-Cities. It continues as US 12 in expressway form to Walla Walla, Washington. U.S. 12 overlaps I-182 for its whole duration. I-182 is I-82's only interstate spur.
