Route description

The Alaska section, between Valdez and Delta Junction, was approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in May 2011 as part of the first major expansion of the U.S. Bicycle Route System since 1982.[2][3][4] It has connections to U.S. Bicycle Route 8 in Delta Junction and U.S. Bicycle Route 108 in Glennallen.[2] USBR 95 is planned to eventually form a continuous link along the West Coast between San Diego and Alaska.[1]

The Washington section, connecting the Snohomish County Centennial Trail to the Peace Arch Border Crossing in Blaine, was designated in 2017.[5] It includes two concurrencies with USBR 87 at its southern terminus and through the Bellingham area. The route also intersects USBR 10 in Burlington.[6][7]

The California section, spanning 440.4 miles (708.8 km), was designated in 2021 between San Francisco and the Oregon state line north of Crescent City, California. It generally follows U.S. Route 101.[8][9]
