 The Stevens Pass Greenway, which became a National Forest Scenic Byway on April 14, 1992, was re-designated as a National Scenic Byway on September 22, 2005.Within Newport, US 2 had an unsigned spur route that traveled on the southbound lanes of ID-41 on the Idaho state line until 1997, when SR 41 was created to avoid confusion.The intersection between US 2 and US 97 east of Peshastin was replaced by a new diamond interchange completed in October 2008 as part of general improvements to the two highways' concurrency from Peshastin to Sunnyslope.
