From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. Route 730 is a spur of U.S. Route 30. It currently runs for approximately 40 miles (64 km) from its intersection with Interstate 84/U.S. Route 30 just east of Boardman, Oregon to its intersection with U.S. Route 12 near Wallula, Washington. It passes through the states of Oregon and Washington, and has the distinction of being the U.S. route with the highest number among active U.S. routes. (The former U.S. Route 830, another spur of 30 in Washington State, is the only U.S. route to ever have a higher number).
