Route description

SH-9 begins at an intersection with SH-8 near Deary and heads generally northwest and north to end at an intersection with SH-6 near Harvard.

SH-9 was the last State Highway in Idaho to be paved (though, as of 2012, SH-29 and SH-64 still have unpaved sections).

The Lewis and Clark Highway, from Lewiston eastward to Lolo Pass, was designated state route 9 in 1916 and construction began in 1920.[2][3] Upon its completion in 1962, it became U.S. Route 12.[4]

The entire route is in Latah County.

gollark: Besides, there are arguably more important divisions nowadays than geographical location.

gollark: At least just be honest and direct about it and directly give people in certain states an arbitrary multiplier.

gollark: It gives the votes to people in evenly split states because of the winner takes all stuff.

gollark: If you want to give people in rural areas more votes for bad reasons the electoral college is a moronically bad way to do it.
