U.S. Route 26

<p>U.S. Highway 26 (US 26) is an east–west <a href="/facts/United_States_Numbered_Highway/1qQo9GBm">United States Numbered Highway</a> that runs from <a href="/facts/Seaside,_Oregon/1wLB4GUF">Seaside, Oregon</a>, to <a href="/facts/Ogallala,_Nebraska/4oQWTkAl">Ogallala</a>, <a href="/facts/Nebraska/g9hHfRFU">Nebraska</a>. When the <a href="/facts/U.S._Numbered_Highway_System/1qQo9GBm">U.S. Numbered Highway System</a> was first defined, it was limited to <a href="/facts/Nebraska/g9hHfRFU">Nebraska</a> and <a href="/facts/Wyoming/kuKmWryL">Wyoming</a>; by the 1950s, it continued into <a href="/facts/Idaho/68ELs9Um">Idaho</a> and <a href="/facts/Oregon/4Uq446Ko">Oregon</a>. The highway's eastern terminus is in <a href="/facts/Ogallala,_Nebraska/4oQWTkAl">Ogallala</a> at an intersection with <a href="/facts/Interstate_80/wc0WBxoY">Interstate 80</a> (I-80). Its western terminus is south of <a href="/facts/Seaside,_Oregon/1wLB4GUF">Seaside</a> at an intersection with <a href="/facts/U.S._Route_101/sbzb1GCa">US 101</a>. Prior to 2004, the route's last 20 miles (32 km) were cosigned with US 101 from the highways' junction south of Seaside north to <a href="/facts/Astoria,_Oregon/G0dyUyW2">Astoria</a> where its intersection with <a href="/facts/U.S._Route_30/aY5qG4Pp">US 30</a> was also US 30's western terminus. Long segments of the highway follow the historic <a href="/facts/Oregon_Trail/npLsY0mo">Oregon Trail</a>. At its peak, immediately before the establishment of the <a href="/facts/Interstate_Highway_System/99o39I6K">Interstate Highway System</a>, US 26 was 1,557 miles (2,506 km) in length and terminated in Astoria.
