Interstate 182 (I-182) is an east–westauxiliary Interstate Highway in theU.S. state ofWashington. It serves as a connector fromI-82 to theTri-Cities region that crosses theColumbia River on theInterstate 182 Bridge betweenRichland andPasco. I-182 is 15 miles (24 km) long and entirelyconcurrent withU.S. Route 12; it intersectsState Route 240 andUS 395. Business leaders in the Tri-Cities began lobbying for a freeway in 1958 after early alignments for I-82 were routed away from the area. I-182 was a compromise to the routing dispute, which allowed for direct access to the Tri-Cities and a bypass for other traffic. The new freeway would also include construction of a bridge between Richland and Pasco. Construction on I-182 was scheduled to begin in 1971, but was delayed and began in late 1980; it opened to traffic three years later. The final sections of the freeway, between I-82 and Richland, opened to traffic in March 1986.(This article is part of afeatured topic:Interstate 82.)
