Route description
SR 263 begins at the Port of Windust along the northern shores of the Snake River in rural Franklin County. The highway travels west past Windust Park, traveling between hills on the northwest side of the highway and the riverbank on the southeast banks. The Lower Monumental Dam marks the point where the highway turns northerly into a narrow canyon. The highway slows from 50 mph (80 km/h) to 25 mph (40 km/h) as it enters Kahlotus and terminates at SR 260.[1][2] Every year the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2009, WSDOT calculated that between 130 and 330 cars per day used the highway.[3]
