message: I believe that Mount Vernon, IA should be added to the list of places that Route 30 passes by. I went to school in Mt. Vernon IA and Route 30 could be seen from my dorm room. Also if you look at the entry for Mt. Vernon, IA it clearly states that "the town is located on the historic Lincoln Highway. U.S. Highway 30 and Iowa Highway 1 intersect in the southern part of town." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hipster818 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: U.S. Route 130 runs north-south in New Jersey, connecting Interstate 295/U.S. Route 40 at the east end of the Delaware Memorial Bridge at Deepwater with U.S. Route 1 near New Brunswick. US 130 crosses US 30 near Camden; it was originally designated in 1926 as a spur of US 30 from Camden to Trenton.
U.S. Route 230 branched off US 30 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and ran northwest to Harrisburg. It was decommissioned ca. 1966, and is now Route 230, paralleled by the Route 283 freeway. (Route 230 has actually been truncated, with the southeasternmost part being taken over by Route 283 and by realigned US 30 itself.)
U.S. Route 330 branched off at Geneva, Illinois, where US 30 ran along present Illinois 38 and Illinois 31, and ran east to Chicago. After several extensions on the west end, it became part of U.S. Route 30 Alternate ca. 1942 and Illinois 38 ca. 1971.
U.S. Route 430 ran from US 30 at Geneva, Illinois north to U.S. Route 12 near Richmond. Ca. 1934 it became Illinois 31.
U.S. Route 530 was a short spur from U.S. Route 30S at Echo, Utah southwest to U.S. Route 40 at Kimball Junction. Around 1938 it became part of U.S. Route 189, and has been upgraded to Interstate 80.
U.S. Route 630 was designated around 1927 as a replacement of U.S. Route 30N from US 30 at Fruitland, Idaho north and west to US 30 in Oregon. Around 1933 it became US 30N again.
U.S. Route 730 runs from Interstate 84 and US 30 west of Umatilla, Oregon northeast to U.S. Route 12 near Wallula, Washington. It was designated east of Umatilla in 1926, and was extended west ca. 1942 when US 30 was realigned onto its current alignment.
U.S. Route 830 ran across the Columbia River from US 30, from U.S. Route 101 at Johnson's Landing, Washington east to U.S. Route 97 at Maryhill, Washington; it never connected directly to US 30. Around 1968 it became State Route 4 and State Route 14.
The most prominent of the divisions was U.S. Route 30N and U.S. Route 30S between Burley, Idaho and Granger, Wyoming. This was eliminated ca. 1972 by routing US 30 along US 30N; US 30S had been upgraded as Interstate 84 and Interstate 80.
The other split designated in 1926 was a spur from Fruitland, Idaho north to Weiser, Idaho, designated as U.S. Route 30N and running across the Snake River from US 30. This was renumbered U.S. Route 630 ca. 1927, and at some point it was connected back to US 30 near Weiser via a new bridge across the Snake River. Ca. 1933 it was renumbered back to US 30N, which it kept until ca. 1980. A U.S. Route 30S was also designated in the area from ca. 1938 to 1940. -- JA10 Talk • Contribs 04:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone have any thoughts on referencing the origins of this road dating to the French-Indian War period (mid-18th century)?  General John Forbes laid out a route from Carlisle, PA (or thereabouts) to Pittsburgh, PA, and the road was later improved by Colonel Bouquet; eventually this route became US 30 through Pennsylvania.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.136.70 (talk) 17:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Based on Forbes Trail (Forbes Road) through Pennsylvania? 

message: I was surprised to see that while the article on the Oregon Trail briefly mentions US RT 30, the Article on US Rt 30 says nothing about the Oregon Trail.  If you look at an old map of the route of the Oregon Trail, it follows almost the same route as US 30 from the West Border of Iowa, to Oregon.  I thought it was a little sad that this wonderful link to the history of our country's westward expansion had been overlooked by the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.77.95.90 (talk) 16:24, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello guys, I just added an interactive map for US 30 today, and when I submitted it, the map only shows the stroke through Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. I tried editing the map numerous times to see if it would show Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Illinois, and Indiana, but no luck. Can someone please help me fix the map? Sahas P.
