Location<\/strong>: Main St and Snake River Ave, Lewiston<\/p>\n

US-12 will turn right immediately after crossing the bridge. The poop brown shield was used to indicate that this is a scenic highway, but these are being phased out with standard shields. The route will be scenic, traveling across the Clearwater and Lolo Pass to Montana<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Main St and Snake River Ave, Lewiston<\/p>\n

Welcome to Lewiston!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They don’t always go poop brown though, as the signs aren’t really standard<\/p>\n

Turn right up here to get on that northerly bypass<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Dike Bypass and 5th St, Lewiston<\/p>\n

Reassurance shield after 5th Street comes down here. This bypass road serves as a great way to get around Lewiston and it is fortunate that they recently decided to route US-12 along it<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Dike Bypass and 6th St, Lewiston<\/p>\n

Once we get to the turn, we’ll want to be in the left lane for 12 East<\/p>\n
