State Route 4, also known as the Ocean Beach Highway, connects U.S. Route 101 at Johnson's Landing, Washington (a few miles west of Naselle) with Interstate 5 in Kelso-Longview. It runs along the north bank of the Columbia River and serves as Washington's counterpart to U.S. Route 30 in Oregon. At Naselle, the spur State Route 401 connects SR 4 south to the Astoria-Megler Bridge.

[edit] Historical significance

The route was once the western leg of U.S. Route 830, which ran from Johnson's Landing in the west to Maryhill in the east. US 30 and US 830 never intersected.
