Highway system

U.S. Route 28 is a defunct designation (since the early 1950s) of an east–west highway between Florence, Oregon, and Ontario, Oregon. In 1937, US 28 was truncated at Eugene, Oregon, which then became its western terminus. US 28 was replaced with U.S. Route 26 when U.S. 26 was extended from Wyoming to the Pacific Ocean in 1952. The portion of US 28 from Ontario, OR, to Prineville, OR, became US 26. US 26 then continued in a northwesterly direction to Portland and Astoria. From Prineville to Eugene, US 28 became U.S. Route 126, now known as Oregon Route 126.

For further information on the route of old U.S. 28 in Oregon, see U.S. Route 26 and Oregon Route 126.
